Hi gang! I just wanted to give y'all an update. I canned some Raspberry Jam again today. I used brand new jars with lids...the last of my "new" supply and every lid sealed. I even had a 4 oz jar that had to much head space because I wanted use all the jam and didn't have enough to fill it. I...

Thanks guys! I don't want to rerpos Thanks for the reply! I wiped my rims with hot water. I've never heard of using vinegar. I'll try that the next round to see if that helps. I've had really good luck with my vacuum sealer seal my dry goods like flour but was unsure of sealing jam with it. I...

Hi all! I have a question....this is a little long but I wanted to give y'all a little background. I made some raspberry jam yesterday as well as some Apple Butter this morning. All high acid foods...I did all the prep for jars, lids, food, etc and processed in my steam canner per the...

I've always wanted a couple of geese and I'm contemplating getting some either next year or the following one. I've heard people say that geese need to be fed a vegetarian diet. Is that true or can they have some meat protein? I noticed the commercial feed I have in my area for waterfowl is more...

Thanks guys! I will definitely be moving Steve. I've got a run already set up for some new ducklings that I got, but Steve can have that for now and the ducklings will just have to hang in their "baby" pen for now. Yes, Bob's name is used as a verb though because she...bobs. hahaha!! Her...

So, Steve's Friend, bob decided to go broody. She kept moving her egg laying area around and me being me, didn't pick up the eggs like I should have. She laid them in an inconvenient spot and I was lazy and kept putting off climbing around the duck habitat to get the eggs. :he Now, eventually...

Although I'm a second time duck owner, a consider myself a first time duck owner since it's been 15ish years since I've had ducks and I'm very much a duck newbie. I currently have two. A Rouen drake named Steve and a Pekin hen named Steve's Friend. Steve's Friend we call Bob, although my DH...

Hi and welcome! That sure is a beautiful coop! :drool So jealous. Your chicks are super cute too!

Wow! Thanks for all the responses! I was on the fence but will talk to my vet about it to see if she thinks it's a good idea to try on Grace. I always consult my vet before adding anything to the dogs diets or medical regime because some of them are on long term special diets or medications for...

So, a little back ground. Sorry it's a little long. I have a female ChiaPit (chihuahua/pitbull) who is the best dog ever in my book. She's about 23#s, is ~13 and a rescue so her exact age and "life before" are unknown. We got her from a high volume kill shelter so who knows what her previous...

No, our snow melted early this year. :yesss: We're actually warm. I planted some raspberries in some 5 gal buckets but we got a cold snap so I'm not sure if it killed them. However, I "rescued" more berry plants from Tractor Supply. They're hardening on my porch as we speak. I think I can plant...

Here is a pic of the park next door, although it's not the prettiest time of year in this photo. It's a really pretty site in the summer and fall especially. As a side note: The building to the far right (cream colored two story) is actually a historic building. It's a school/institute or what...

I might have one, let me see... This is a tree in the park next door.
