We have a young deer, still with its fawn spots, visit frequently. Today, just after lunch, the deer showed up, had lunch on plants and a tree,...
Daniel, love your alliteration! We don't plant beets--husband doesn't like them and why plant something you don't want to eat?
Pac, I don't think that is a bobcat. We have a resident bobcat in the field, and she doesn't look anything like that. The cat in your poplar tree...
Netty, great minds think alike! I have two pie pumpkins baking in the oven. When done, I'll puree the pulp and freeze it for pumpkin pecan bread...
When flying past earth aliens lock their doors.
Daniel, the texture of your frozen cherry tomatoes will change, but the flavor remains. The Romas can be frozen whole. The skin just slips off...
Ah Melody, our onions have been hung to dry and cleaned and brought into the house. I know onions are cheap, and if we didn't have lots of room we...

Odif, I have seen purple basil, but never tried it. Please tell me, does it taste the same as the green basil?
Hallelujah, we have temperature at 70 degrees, and a chance of rain during the coming week! It is so very nice to have the house open with fresh...
Wow Netty, that is a lot of canning/cooking to do. Glad it's cooler for you today. Do you make pickled beets? I did one of my very favorite...
