What is your favorite way to put up your
Comments (11)I only freeze these veggies, sugarsnap peas, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, greenbeans, corn, both on cob and cut off. I both dry and freze okra, the latter for stew. I also freeze fruit: strawberries, blueberries, peaches, apples and elderberries. i also make fresh juice--beet-carrot-apple-cabbage is my favorite--and freeze it in pint jars. I also make my own beef and chicken broth which I freeze in pint jars. I mainly use my dehydrator to dry jerky and make yogurt. After I blanch the milk at 160 degrees cool it to 120 and add the starter which I buy at the health food store, I put it in the dehydrator at 100 until it thickens. I can pickled veggies. okra, green "dilly beans" jalapenos but not cucumbers. They always go mushy on me and I won't use alum. I also make saurkraut in a five gallon crock and can that. We have an unheated storage building that we don't allow to freeze. I buy bushels of apples and sweet potatoes in the fall and store them out there. And this year I have a basket of butternut squash that I raised. Potatos go under the bed in the house when we dig them in July and usually last until the next Jan. Onions I dry and braid and hang on nails on the glassed porch. They usually last only til Sept or Oct. Wish I had a root cellar, and a greenhouse, but I make do.

Comments (29)Brad's Black Heart...it's always made me wonder, did a man named "Brad" develop the tomato, or did a woman who was wronged by a man named "Brad" develop the tomato? ***** Actually Brad Gates in CA found this black heart in a field planted with I think Black Krim's, but I'd have to check that out to be sure if it really matters. No woman involved. LOL Carolyn...See MoreMy favorite Christmas tree is up
Comments (14)Wonderful tree decor, lynne! Yes, fun to re-live the memories as you hang the ornies...(that doesn't sound as good as "ornaments" ...but that's the shortcut I've seen on here.) LOL! PM's idea is great...it is fun to have out old pics ...wherever...I use snow snowflake photo clip-stands & put a few old B&W's from our family Christmas' of DH's side & mine..& I have a old window (from my sis' farmhouse that was torn down) that I put our family pics in from over the years & mount on the wall for the winter season. Love using family pics! Also a fun way is to print a B&W on a "mylar" (clear plastic) a fav pic...cut out circle, wrap around pencil to insert in a glass ball...add a little snow glittery & it's a clear pic in a glass ball! I've done several of those for gifts. Have fun & TFS your family tree! Jeanne S....See MoreWhats your favorite way to cheer someone up?
Comments (16)I've said, hundreds of times, over the years, to myriad people ... ... that one of the best stress-relievers around is a bit of humour from time to time (as long as it's not aimed at rooting someone in the ribs). But - they can't bottle it ... and sell it ... so there doesn't seem to be a great deal of interest in it. ole joyful P.S. Wouldn't let me double-post ... till I altered a word in the subject line ... to conform to Canadian writing style. o j...See MoreFunkyart
