No more food at home, yet still new food moths
Comments (11)We live in a 3500 square foot home and have been battling pantry moths since December 2021. Fortunately, the moths have been contained to our mud room which is a room between our attached garage and the rest of the house. We believe the source was birdseed that had been stored in the mud room. (I have no idea why someon put birdseed in that room!) Although we discovered the moths in December, I am pretty confident that they were there for at least a month or longer before we found them. We found moth pupae in the sealed glass Yankee candles! One blessing was that our actual pantry in the kitchen was free of moths, and remains free. Needless to say we still invested in hundreds of dollars of airtight containers to store our food. Now it is May 2022 and we still are finding moths. Not many though- we went over 3 weeks without seeing one. We thought we finally beat them. The two mud room doors remain closed at all times except when entering or exiting through to the garage. We removed most of the cabinets from the mud room when we did the initial clean out. The mud room is almost completely stripped. We contemplated taking off the trim that goes around the doors and the baseboards…. however we haven’t since there is caulk between the trim and the walls… It seems so ridiculous that an insect can be so disruptive…. So we will continue to monitor and kill on site…A couple of weeks ago, we had mulch delivered for the flower beds - to my disgust, the mulch had moths in them. Not the same as the pantry moths, but moths no less. We paid for 11 yards of mulch and the nursery threw in the moths for free, I suspect… I don’t think there is an answer for any of this. I am just sharing my story, to let others know, if you see a moth in your house, be vigilant - don’t ignore them....See MoreOnion Talk for year 2022
Comments (21)Lynn, I have the same problem with onions. I think that I have a lot more problems with disease because of wet soil. I need to rotate also, but my house gardens are small, the two together are only about 2500 sq. ft. Some crops need a trellis, some crops like better soil, then I have peas and okra that will grow about anywhere, but if I can get all soil in top shape I think I can rotate crops easier. What I am trying to do is place trellises about 6 or 7 feet apart so I can till between them. With the trellises about 12 inches above the soil and 7 ' apart I can till very close to the trellis with the tractor, then work under the trellis by hand. If I have more trellises than I need it gives me more options. The crops that dont need a trellis can still be planted next to a trellis, and I can use the trellis for support when I harvest the peas, or what ever I have planted there. I got my compost pile turned, I had to air up 3 tractor tires before I could start the task. I think I have a larger supply of compost and mulch than I have ever had, but I suppose that is a good thing because it seems that those thing are harder to find, plus cost more. I just noticed the min/max thermometer and it looks as though I should have tilled yesterday, the temp is dropping, and we may have snow before I get a chance to till again....See MoreSpring 2022 Raleigh Plant Swa

Comments (110)Neely, I hope you are on the mend. My schedule has settled and I am back to cooking and tending the garden. I've been making jams, syrups and sauces. These are, from top, blackberries, boysenberries and ollalieberries. I make a triple berry jam from them. I also made a blueberry sauce and raspberry syrup. Yesterday, I canned eight large jars of nectarine jam and still have a tree full of fruit. Chicken with spicy nectarine sauce. My first attempt at a soft pretzel. This is the wine we made from last fall's harvest. From back, 1. Golden Muscat - juice only, 2. Golden Muscat - Juice and skins, 3. Golden Muscat - Skins only, and 4. California Chablis (Thompson's Seedless) - juice only. After tasting them all, we started blending. We decided to bottle a 50-50 blend of 1 & 4 and not blend 2 or 3. After bottling, I used the last partial bottle of the wine to make this lemon cream herb sauce, which we served over pan seared salmon. My second attempt at pretzels. I added an 'everything' flavor that was a hit with Garrett. I tried a new recipe - Poulet a la moutarde, which was tasty with brown rice and asparagus....See More- 4 years ago

I was rereading this thread and reading about the huge appliances made me remember this ad:
This is not really a joke per se, but now those big appliances have movers/pads to help us move them around our counters.
