The Jersey Devil

16 years ago

Hey Jen: Did you see the story about the Devil on TV last week? I tuned in late and only saw the last of it! Great spook story!

And, where have you been? Haven't heard from you.

I seem to have gotten over my fuzzy brain problem, with some hard work! And, i'm working on the coach, fixing the front overhang where it leaked and rotted the wood.I won't be going on any long trips, but some local 60-75 miles. 10 MPG is a bit hard to enjoy a long trip. The lawn mower business is down some. I think people are looking for the old reel mowers again!

Well, enjoy the camping!

Rusty, as a boy my father and I visited an acquaintance of his just west of New Gretna on HWY 542. F. Pearce lists this home as the last reported sighting of the Jersey Devil in his book, "Heart of the Pines". As a youngster exposed to this and other scary stories, I worked on my own fears until, at age 12, I could walk alone deep into the forest at night without a flashlight, spend a few minutes out there, and then walk back home. And missed the 'Devil.

Just got the bad news about the motor home. Needs back wheel cylinders for the brakes! Probably be $400 or so!
OUCH!
I'd sell it cheap! Runs good, but i can't afford to run it on my retirement income, which isn't all that great!
Here in Pa., ya can't have an un-inspected vehicle sitting in yer yard! The powers that be will come and make ya get rid of it, for junk price!
Well, enjoy yer tent camping! I wish i had a small tent trailer.It'd be enough for just me to camp in! I'd trade the coach for one, even up!

I found your seed list trying to find a source for 'big month', which a friend of mine grew last year and really liked but didn't save seed from and now can't find a commercial source for. I'm personally interested in 'green giant'. I love green tomato juice. So far I've grown 'green zebra' (which did fairly well), 'emerald evergreen' (which performed terribly), and 'Aunt Ruby's German green' (which was probably the best of the three.) Do you have a favorite green-when-ripe tomato you can recommend? I've read high praise for the 'green giant'. Feel free to contact me if you think I might have anything you'd be interested in trading for. I don't have any of the tomato varieties you're looking for, but I have a few tomato varieties you don't have. I would particularly note San Marzano redorta and Polish linguisa which are very similar, very large/long extremely meaty paste types. They're a very tasty fresh eating tomato but my family's very first choice for canning whole, for sauce, for roasted tomatoes, for paste, etc.

Yes, Calliope, it can be confusing, especially to someone who is still learning. Decided to see what happens when converted to ounces. Turns out 200 grams is slightly more tha 7 ounces. Not much tomato and veggies for the 1/4 cup acid called for. Certainly much more acid than my 5 pounds of tomatoes, 4 1/4 cup of veggies and 1 cup of vinegar. I know that I shouldn't compare Annie's recipe to NCHFP's but it does make one pause. And I'm still sitting here wondering how thick is TOO thick for the salsa? I personally don't eat salsa. My grandkids love it and I make it for them. Mine turned out as thick as "Newman's Own", but is that too thick for home processing? The instructions say that it should be thin enough that the veggies stay suspended in the liquid. I don't understand that since the opposite seems to be true to me. When the sauce is thin and liquidy the veggies are not suspended; when the sauce is thick the are suspended throughout. I know it's me. Everyone here seems to get it. I guess I'm just a slow learner and very skiddish at the moment. Actually more scared now that I was 7 years ago when I first ventured into the world of canning.

Sadly that looks like textbook late blight to me. IMO those plants and fruits should be removed and disposed of to prevent further spread. They can be burned or bagged/tossed. Spores will travel with the wind and the fungus will spread quickly. Act now. Do not use any of the plants debris for compost. Next year pull any volunteers. Use fungicides for prevention. Shell

You've got to live really far out of town to even hope to get away with that one.

If anyone goes down to S. Jersey to camp, keep your eyes open for the White Stag of Shamong.

Rusty,
I camp with the Jersey Devil every weekend....LOL. We camp in the Pine Barrens, thats where our campground is, in the heart of the barrens. Last weekend we were sleeping in bed for a change (we sleep in a tent often by the waters edge) I swore I saw something in the doorway looking at us. Just as I said it to hubby he grumbled something and the TV turned on by itself. I looked at him , he looked at me and we were freaked out. Weird thing is the 2 dogs never barked or anything. Next day we laughed about it, but we do not know what it was or how the tv turned on. Do you suppose?????
