how long to let Garlic dry before selling ?
Comments (2)I start selling mine as fresh garlic as soon as dug then wait a couple of weeks before cleaning and grading the majority. I like it nicely dried befor packing it in pecks and larger containers. I have found that hanging in bunches of 12 works best, for me, tried larger bunches up to 25 but it didn't dry down as well nor as fast....See Morere-bed window panes in new glazing putty or...
Comments (12)Here is a picture of one of them for context: 1887 window. Actually this is the one an intruder came through a couple of years ago. They grabbed an ipod and left in disgust. Hopefully they put the word out that we have lame possessions (bwahaha, they didn't know the value of our legos and extensive unit block collection!) The muntins are 13/16" wide. Looking carefully at where the glass meets the wood on the interior side, at first I thought they were not bedded: but in this picture, also taken from the interior, you can see a thin layer of something between the wood and the glass, kind of gunky chunky and sticking out in one place where I'm pointing with the deadly lego: so I guess they were originally bedded. I don't know if 13/16" would be considered thin for muntins, but I do want to regard a future restorer. So I guess I'm back to putty. I'd consider 100% silicone; the obstinate child in me wants to believe it could be scraped away from the muntin in 50 years without damage, but if any got out of where I wanted it to be, the non-paintable aspect of it would be an ugly bummer. Is there any chance, based on photos/vintage of the windows, that I could skip the points/glass/old bedding removal step, and just leave the glass in place and reglaze? I'm a perfectionist, but as I'm getting older, I'm becoming more of a pragmatist. I wish gardenweb had a survey feature. It would be fun to see what percentage of window restorers went all the way down to the muntins and rails, and what percentage scraped out the glazing, put in new, and went and had a beer on the porch....See MoreHow long do you let old pets linger ?
Comments (12)I have a very hard time putting any animal down. Currently my 14 year old pitbull who was almost dead from parvo when brought to me 13 years ago is at the end of his life now. He has lost much of his eye sight and hearing but still has his spark. My 10 1/2 year old English Mastiff is also growing close now that she has outlived her life expectancy of 10 years. I make them comfortable and cater to them as needed. They have given me so much for many years it is the least I can do for them. Unless they are in unbearable pain I let my pets pass away in their home where I know they would rather be than anywhere else. Even if it means keeping them cleaned up multiple times a day once they cannot get up to go potty anymore. I have a very hard time losing a pet. I have 6 large and giant breed dogs, 4 large parrots, 2 cats, a snake and 2 rats. Over the years I have only had to have one dog put to sleep because she was in constant pain. I couldn't take her to the vet myself. My last pitbull died quickly in my arms from a heart attack while my Rottweiller passed over a matter of a few days once he could no longer stand. They passed away where they wanted to be. One way that I deal with my loss is to have one coming in the door while one is leaving. It's not a replacement but it does help me deal with it. I also will do something to help other animals in some way. Despite the fact that I have such a hard time coping with the double loss that I will soon have we have done something very positive to help others in dealing with the loss of their pets. I will start another thread about it. If you are also on DG then you may have already seen it. Frank...See MoreHow long do you let yogurt set?
Comments (4)I make yogurt using my Excaliber dehydrator. A gallon of milk gets me 4 quarts of really thick yogurt. I don't eat yogurt, Greek or otherwise, the texture is too off-putting, but I use it a lot in cooking and baking. Anyway, I keep mine at 115F for about 8 hours. The "recipe" is use says that it will get no thicker after 10 hours, it'll only get more sour. I do use the last of my current batch to make the next batch, I do not buy starter. It's cost effective here too. A quart of plain yogurt is about $3 here for the store brand, more if I get a brand like Fage or Dannon. I can get a gallon of milk for about $2, and get 4 quarts of yogurt. Annie...See Morebrickeyee
