I started getting into olive oil. I placed an order with amazon for a tin can of Partana brand/Asaro extra virgin olive oil from Sicily and a 3L tin of Atlas extra virgin olive oil from Morocco.
I found that soaking my salted/vinegar eggplant in plain boiling water off the stove until the water...
We call those man eaters in my neighborhood and never breed them. Their male offspring will usually inherit that same attack trait. I live in a place where there were weekly chicken fight gatherings on the weekends, but it became extinct when the government made it illegal. My local hardware...
Anyway, if you want to follow the video, you can find all the episodes on Daily Motion. I am on eps 119, it updates every week. The small baby girl in this episode is probably the reincarnated powerful woman that sent the dragon coffin to find her reincarnated brother. Epic adventure.
I am not doing good with sweet peppers. This is my first year trying to grow Marconi peppers but ran into some problems. I think I am over watering them.
After I planted my white eggplants into a 5-gallon pot, it didn't take long for the aphids to totally infest all the leaves. I needed an easy way to spray all the leaves, so I filled an Ortho hose spray canister with liquid detergent and set it to mix 2 oz of detergent per a gallon of water and...
I am doing an experiment with my Armenia cucumber vine. I put a long, medium and small branch in a 2-gallon bucket of water to see if the longer vine will grow roots at each node and to see which size does the best. I cut each branch from the main stem, so the longer one is more mature.
I fileted 6 tilapias from my tilapia tank and used the bones to make a collagen enriched white soup. I seasoned it with ginger, green onion, salt, and mushroom seasoning. It tasted neutral like white beef bone broth. I am glad I tried it. I usually throw the bones away after fileting the fish.
I am really impressed with this Devil tree eggplant graft. It's easier to spray and prune when the branches are a distance off the ground. In addition, I am able to wrap a grafting tape around the stem and insect glue around the stem and support, so the ants can't mine aphids. I wonder how big...
The new 2025 hybrid variety of grape cherry tomato called Coral that I got from Hoss tools gave me a volunteer. It looks and grows like the original hybrid Coral. It supposed to be indeterminate, but it doesn't grow straight and tall, each branch seems to stop growing and send out a new side...
Anyone having issues with a client32exe message on their computer start up after McAfee blocks suspicious activity from a program called NetSupport Client Application.
My Shelby paste tomato harvest was not as productive as my Red Snapper or Hossinator tomatoes grown in the same containers. The Shelby is new for 2025; I tried it because of the TYLCV resistance and heat tolerance. It's a flimsy looking plant. I wish the Super Sauce hybrid tomato had TYLCV...
I don't think the age matters as long as the scion is from a fruiting tree. Also, as long as one side of the sion lines up with the branch it will catch if done right. I wrap my scion with parafilm to keep the moisture locked in and I use clear grafting film to wrap the cut. It's good to prepare...
I had a tofu salad at my local golf course restaurant today for lunch. It had green and red lettuce and cherry tomatoes with soft tofu squares piled on top and it was served with a sweet and tangy Japanese miso sauce that had a hint of shoyu in it. This was my first time eating lettuce this way...
The only thing with this zapper is it needs to be under a roof. I have one hanging outside in my back yard under a 10ft x 10ft heavy-duty easy corner tarp tent that covers my tilapia tank and filter. I also have one hanging in my garage. I can walk around outside without a shirt. I blow on it to...
Today, I decided to let my 3 Ebay Isa Brown chicks out to play unsupervised. I have been throwing scratch next to their pen to let the older hens get acquainted with them for a few weeks. I hope the stray cats don't eat them. They are larger than the doves the cat prey on, and the cats know I am...
