    Pink blooming shrub

    The rhododendron flowers that I’ve seen have wider petals. I’ll keep an eye on them to see if they change. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Pink blooming shrub

    Mixed in with bush honeysuckle along the west fence line, this is a new one on me. I wonder if it’s an escapee from a landscaper? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Canning 101

    It’s really easy, just takes a little time. The ingredients are peppers, salt, water, and time/labor. I started out using crocks, but have transitioned to food grade buckets with resealable lids I get from the local deli. Check out chilichump on YouTube for a load of good info. Mine is done by...

    Dad always told me....

    I’m just imagining the deer being like wine snobs-“ This one is a bit earthy, with muddy overtones “... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Canning 101

    I’ve started freezing excess tomatoes and canning them and making juice after the hunting season winds down- the skins slip right off when thawed, it doesn’t interfere with other things I like to do in August and September, and it’s nice to have all the extra heat and humidity in the house in...

    What's for dinner?

    Since I canned all the trim meat from November’s buck, I decided to build a veggie soup with a pint of venison in it. Looking forward to doing this often. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Back to the future

    I think that wide front was an aftermarket one sold through Tractor Supply- dad picked it up at an auction just as I got old enough to be turned loose on the beast. I remember that we had a succession of two bangers when I was a kid. This 620, an A, a 730 gasser, and a 720 diesel, which dad...

    Back to the future

    After my dad ended up in a nursing home, life prevented me from spending any time (and money) to maintain his old 620. This tractor was the only one he refused to trade in during his life, and since he’s been gone a few years it seemed only fitting to get it running again. My BIL rebuilt the...

    Canning 101

    I’ve switched to the pasteurization method for all my pickles (peppers too). Hold the canner water at 120-140 while filling the jars, then after adding the jars to the canner, bring it to 180-185 and keep it there for 30 minutes. It really preserves the crunchy texture of the pickles. Note: this...

    Miscanthus Giaganteus propagation from cuttings.

    My experience with cuttings was positive last year, but the only miscanthus that re-emerged this year was from rhizomes- none of last year’s cuttings, which made it to 10-15” in 2018, came back. I’m blaming the polar vortex. My rhizome started plants were very slow to come back, which I based on...

    Looking to confirm an ID

    I’ve been using the search feature at this website lately for wildflowers -http://mywildflowers.com/index.asp I wasn’t having good luck with apps, but I can’t remember how I liked the one you shared. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
