    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    I'm all for no rain in the coop or coop run at all. But, that being said, my chickens have a large fenced area for free ranging available to them during the day and you can often find them running around in the rain.

    Whatcha Making for Supper?

    Oktoberfest dinner here tonight: schnitzel, jaeger spaetzle, fresh green beans and a salad. Yes, we did get a lot of green beans this year. I have several gallon bags of them blanched and in the freezer, but eating as many as we can fresh. They are so good.

    I used to like Arby's but you're not missing anything now. Better was not better when it came to their roast beef sandwiches. JMO

    That is totally normal! You have life! Blue Lake is what we planted this last year and it turns out I ordered the same thing. I also have seed left in the package from this last year. Not sure I would need to use them, but I haven't thrown them away.

    yes. I'm wondering if we should keep some of the beans for next year. I did order some already, but these have been so great.

    We got another gallon bag of green beans yesterday. It's the vine that just keeps on giving.

    Only predator we've ever had were the bald eagles. Maybe it's the electric wire around the fence and the secure coop for nighttime. Never had a problem with any ground predators.

    Granny's gone and done it again

    My favorites!!! I have 3 that are over 8 years old, and 3 that are about 8 months old. Several other chickens of other orpington varieties, but Australorps are my favorites. Or are Buff Orpingtons? 🤔

    I pressure can them. I do presoak as well, and boil for 30 min. I haven't had much trouble with them coming out mushy, but I generally turn them into refried beans anyway. We have tacos every Wednesday and canned refried are just bean paste. lol 2 lbs of beans will make 7 pints with a...

    I made beans today too! I canned 7 pints with just salt for making refried or soups, etc. But then cooked the leftovers with some bacon. OMG. I wanted to just eat them all! I had to get those in the freezer before I did!!!

    Looks like a great brooder pen. Gee, I don't know about the HW cloth. I wouldn't think a mouse could get into a 1/2 inch space, but let me just quote my DH. He says, "why would you want to keep the mice from the chicken?? That's free food for them." lol But, take that with a grain of...

    Hello everyone. I haven't been on here in while. Hope you are all well. I have noticed that Shrekdawg has disappeared from a couple threads I normally see her on. I popped in here to find out if you have any idea if she is okay? I know she was fond of this thread. Hey, Granny. How are...

    Canned 7 pints of pintos today. I love having my own. They do make the best refrieds.
