What Have You Put Up 2010
Comments (106)Annie, I'm sure the wedding was a huge hit, especially the hab gold cheescakes! Meanshile, I FINALLY canned this year! Woo hoo! Better yet, I spread the canning virus---made 8 half-pints of strawberry jam with a friend who'd never canned before. Bought the strawberries from the farmer same day, and boy did it turn out well. The set is a little soft (we used a recipe from the Bernardin book that calls for cooking up whole apples w/ the pith of a lemon rather than using commercial pectin or going for the long boil), but it's still quite spreadable and VERY yummy. I definitely made a new canning convert. And I'm excited that I'll have a canning buddy nearby for those marathon sessions of tomato or peach peeling! I've had a CRAZY spring work-wise, on the road a lot, didn't even start any tomato seedlings (for each of the past 10 years I've started at least a hundred). But I bought some and was kindly given some and FINALLY got the last of them into the ground, so hopefully there will be some tomato canning, even though some of the harvest will be late. It felt so good to spend all of yesterday in the garden and the canning kitchen! Z...See MoreWhat have you put up in 2014?

Comments (196)Liz, I have a ham bone, but it's going to be split pea soup! I also have chicken wings, backs and necks in the freezer that need to become stock, but I'm afraid it won't happen yet this year. I still have one family Christmas gathering to attend, and still have cookies to bake and decorate, rolls to make, a homegrown and grassfed tenderloin is thawing in the sink so it can "age" in the fridge a couple of days before roasting. The Grandkids are spending New Year's Eve with me while their parents go out, so no canning then either. I also have a "walk in fridge", we call it the garage, LOL. But....I only have 3 quarts of chicken stock left on the shelf and so I have to get busy right after the first of the year. Happy Canning! Annie...See MoreWhat have you put up 2019
Comments (229)Annie - we had a calf born yesterday at some point. I'm going over there this morning to check it out and take some pictures. Not sure if it's a boy or girl yet. We may need to bottle feed it with milk replacer until the mother starts producing milk. Our other 6 cows should be calving sometime in the next few months. Luckily for the calf the weather is and will be mild. It was in the low 50s yesterday and we are supposed to be in the upper 50s and low 60s all of this week. If the calf was born during the snowstorm last weekend it might have had a hard time. Hopefully the weather will be mild when the other calves drop. Question for you. How old should heifers be before they are bred the first time? We have 2 that are 14 and 16 months old now. Right now they are in a different pasture from the bull along with our 4 steer. Edit : I went over to check out the calf this morning. We threw some feed in the trough to bring the cows up to the fence. All of them came up except the new momma and the calf. They stayed about 75 yards away but the calf did stand up and then they both moved off even further away. The calf looked healthy and was jumping around and even running a little. They are so fun to watch when little! All we could tell is that it is mostly black with some white on its face. Going back over this afternoon and we will go in for a closer look and watch to see if it's feeding yet....See MoreCA Kate z9
