Spring was here and now it's gone...
Comments (3)We sure weren't! I know I live in Upstate Ny, but it doesn't prevent me getting aggravated about the weather in the Spring. I'm itching to plant out things I've started indoors and I can't, because I know anything is game at this point. It is a nice day today. I'm trying to just keep things in order, get ready to recieve a load of dirt and manure, and just kinda bide my time. I hope it doesn't get THAT cold again until the Fall....See MoreWANTED: It's Spring and time for the swap!
Comments (102)Hello everyone. It was a great swap. Thanks to Leslie and any one else who helped arrange this. It was my first swap as well and i was amazed at how many plants i took home! I thought i'd come home with the same amount or less that i brought, but i filled up a whole fourth of my garage. I hope all of the plants i gave to people are doing all right, if not, just tell me and i'll bring a new one at the next swap. When is it, any ways?? I don't have ALL of the plants planted yet because i'm in the process of weeding a 20x20 ft flower garden and i don't want to plant the plant in weeds. We're also going to till up another 100 square feet of space, so i'm waiting for that. I planted all of the irises, though. ALL beautiful colors. I mowed and tilled up a patch in the side of the woods. I made a border of skinny logs and a path through the middle. In the back,(as the "foundation", or "strong point" of the garden) i planted a back row of almost black irises, and like 5 more rows of iris colors. It will look really neat when they all bloom at once. i'll just have to wait till next year to see the colors, then transplant them. Great swap. thanks to everyone and have a happy summer!

Comments (9)Linda, i know, it does make you wonder, why money? they say hey can't take things because the of the high shipping charges and sizes might not be right so they can get exactly what is needed. but the battered woman's shelter here, takes any clothing, housewares and furniture, the food bank will take food or money, Saint Vincent society, anything, PACE - people who don't have alot will take anything, march of dimes, used wheelchairs etc., red cross - money, and if you want to donate winter knitted items, you have to use their pattern and make only the sizes they want. We also have alot of Native Canadian persons and they have alot of agencies and they are looking for and gratefully accept it. the value village -- who supposedly helps the diabetic association, picks us your unwanted things and diabetic association is paid something really stupid like 3 CENTS A POUND (they weigh the donations). so this is what it is like in my city (about 120,000 people), also we have about 6 or so privately owned seniors homes (they run about 2,000.00 a month) and about 6 city owned homes. very interesting post PeaBee i am enjoying finding out about how generous other cities are! debbie...See MorePrime Rib cooking time?
Comments (16)Shaun- Nope, no smoke alarms, I used the LeCreuset grilling skillet and a temp of 500degrees. It splattered for sure, but no big mess. Crashed potatoes are from Pioneer Woman's blog. DH loves them. Here's my rendition: I use a nice fist-sized red potato, nuke it for about 4 minutes, then let it cool for a few minutes. Afterwards take a fork and smash one side of it down with a fork (only on one side, not as much as her photo). Then I drizzle garlic EVOO, sprinkle salt, pepper and rosemary. Rebake for about 10 minutes at a high heat. It makes a soft, potato with flavor and a bit of crunch! Here is a link that might be useful: Pioneer Woman's crash potatoes...See More- last month
