    Recipe BBQ recipes?

    How about some of your favorite BBQ recipes? What I consider the ol' tried & true potato salad here in "Patten, ME" will be totally different than what your "tried & trues" are. For instance--I grew up with potato salad being made out of "diced" potatoes. Never had one made out of mashed...

    Recipe EZ pickles

    Flowers-----the way I make my pickles is somewhat similar. Only difference is in the recipe and I have never inverted them. But may try that next time. Have only "lost" a very few and the pickles are much more crisp than when I "processed" them! I do invert my jams & jellies ----but only for 5...

    Going after jars myself today. It's strawberry/rhubarb time here. Only have about 2 cases of jelly jars!!:eek: I usually get my supplies at the Amish store---they have the best prices around here. Am actually anxious to get started with my "jamming" this year!!!:confused::D

    Potato replant?

    I agree with Randy---your "growing season" should be long enough for a double harvest. But even if they dont get really big--those little ones are fantastic! We have a dish here in New England called--"new potatoes & peas"(or string beans). Cook them up-mix them together(whole) then add cream(...

    The Bluegrass Bunch

    Nice looking piano Curb.! I have always wanted to play the piano too! But I cant read music---I learned to play the guitars by ear. We had a piano(!) given to us when I was a kid and I learned to "pickout" a couple of songs--but thats about it. Then our house burned and even though they got...

    The Bluegrass Bunch

    Randy--about 30 years ago (:eek:) (before there was email) there was a "craze" going round----everyone had a ham radio in thier home. Usually just a "cb radio"--but some really got into it. We could talk to all kinds of people--depending on how long a range your antenna had. Lots of...

    Peas

    Has anyone ever tried growing peas in a pot or hanging planter ? Waas thinking of doing a few that was-just to get enough snow peas for salads, but not sure if there would be enough soil in a hanging planter to sustain them. Any suggestions?

    New... New... New... Everything

    Now--going to ask probably a stupid question---but here goes--------- If you poke holes in the plastic in the bottom of your raised bed--can the toxins from the treated lumber seep up through them into your soil??

    Seedlings coming along nicely

    Cool!! Was pretty sure that was what it was for --but I had never heard of anyone doing it around here. Having grown up on a farm--I know how much heat manure can generate!;):D How much does the temp drop(inside the "hot"frame) at night? If you have a real chilly night will there still be enough...
