A Big 'Thank You' To GardenWeb!
Comments (18)I have to agree with you Mike, because if it weren't for Garden Web I would have never had the opportunity to meet you, Jarie, or all my other gardening buddies on here. After all the 3 of us all share the same birthday too. LOL Now everyone will have to look and see when and what day it is and that should explain everything they need to know about us. ( BIG FAT GRIN) Why didn't you give us the link to the site you were reading about and made you write this email. It probably would have made alot of us think more about this site. You people gotta love this site so we can stay in touch and feed one anothers addiction to plants and the computer too. Happy Gardening and getting your fingers dirty, Marian Someone lend me a fan, it's kind of hot here in TEXAS! Oh maybe it's just I'm full of HOT AIR....See MoreEnjoying my new hobby, thanks to GardenWeb.
Comments (8)Congrats, Mostone! That is so cool to find caterpillars on the plants at the nurseries. I have ended up buying way more fennel and rue because of finding cats. Be prepared that the butterfly may not emerge this year. I still have a chrysalis from last year! I have several butterfly cages made from large clear plastic containers (pretzels, animal crackers from Sams Club). I cut out 3 of the sides, leaving the corners for stability, and covered the holes with screen material using clear silicone bathroom caulk for "glue". These are easily sterilized between batches of cats. It is very important to sterilize cages and utensils for the monarchs, they are very susceptible to OE spore and viruses. (To sterilize: make a weak bleach solution and soak for 15-20 minutes and rinse well with water.) Enjoy the new obsession, it is very rewarding. Mechelle...See MoreThank You GardenWeb Canners!
Comments (5)Well, nothing like a buzzkill. :( The directions for my 22 qt Mirro say to use 2 1/2 quarts of water for cannning. 3 quarts if your canner is not full. Yesterday I canned a batch of Boston Baked Beans (delicious btw). I had 7 full quarts, but put 3 quarts of water in the canner to be on the safe side. I ran out of water with 20 minutes yet to go in the canning process. Some of the jars then subsequently siphoned off, and of course there were sealing problems there. After reading around, I decided there were only two options- either freeze the beans or re-process. So I emptied the jars into a large pot to bring them back to a simmer and started over, this time using 3 INCHES of water in the canner. I did re-process, but I strongly suspect it was probably not worth the trouble. I have one jar that didn't seal, so we'll be consuming that one later this week and see if we actually have baked beans or baked bean mush. My pot doesn't appear to be warped, but I was really angry with Mirro yesterday and their sub-par directions. I went through the manual again last night, and nowhere does it talk about adding more water for longer processing times. I already had the stove temp down as far as I could get it without having the knocking stop. The extra 2 1/2 hours last night to can those silly beans sure took the wind out of my sails. I hope that's my only hiccup....See MoreAnother New GardenWeb Feature!
Comments (11)Nancy, as far as I know, you can't even do that. If you try to remove all content and repost (the updated, blank posting), it results in an error message. It appears that there has to be some content but I don't know how much. I don't think you can edit a previous post to a blank post. By the way, this thread is a year old. I chose this one for testing so as to not annoy users by using a thread that had subscribers. :) Carol...See MoreAnglophilia
