… other than pontificate about weeds.
Planted: Lakota blue squash, the strawberry plants, and all the rest of the sweet potato slips!
Sweet potatoes are wonderful things. If they grow in your area, grow them. They are so easy to propagate; just cut off a piece of the vine and stick it in water, where it will […]
Well, it’s been more of the hot lately, but I think I’ve been reading the news too much. Gas prices, foreclosures, homelessness, food supply issues … all on the rise. And none of the candidates seems to have a clue.
For me, it just reinforces my feelings that we need to become self-reliant, take care of […]
Finally got some rain last night, and all but one of my rainbarrels is full.
Yesterday we had friends over for a BBQ, plenty of local meat and a good time. Today we had lots of leftovers.
Planted two tomatoes and a watermelon, harvested a lot more peas, put some local hydroponic tomatoes from the co-op in […]

Went shopping and found the material […]

My husband took yesterday off (he tends to take his vacation days one at a time), and we got some things done around the house. Went grocery shopping, etc.
Planted several tomatoes and a pepper plant. The first ones I planted seem to have recovered from the […]
What to do with old socks? Here’s a video showing how to darn a sock!
from www.youtube.com posted with vodpodI do this on my teenagers’ socks using ordinary thread. That ‘mushroom’ thing they’re using would make it a lot easier! I’ll have to find one, or you could use a […]
You might have noticed that I joined a couple of webrings (if you look near the bottom of the sidebar, you can see the links). One of the people running the spinning webring emailed me asking was I sure I wanted to join a spinning ring, seeing as I hadn’t posted about spinning since last […]
Well, I finally got the hutch done for my angora bunnies.
It’s made with untreated 2×2 pine and 2′ hardware cloth, with cardboard for the lid and for their hiding boxes. As you can see, it ended up being a bit jury-rigged, but they seem to like it. You can see Leon there in front (the […]
