THankful for the internet to find recipes using the foods on hand. New recipe is Red Thai curry as a sauce to saute of carrots, green beans and butternut cubes. Kids love it. No chicken so used 5 eggs as the protein. A few duck breasts marinating to turn into jerky.

Do you fertilize?? What is your soil like??

Looking at CUmmins fruit trees as they have very good prices and good root stocks: every rootstock is listed. No guessing. Priced by diameter. Dr cummins started the website many years ago. He is a researcher at Cornell, retired now. Looks like the sons have taken over the business end. Lots of...

Im lazy and toss into freezer. Im sure blanching ( blanche) maybe better for some of them. Use from freezer quickly. Dried can last much longer.

Planted the garlic. Hopefully I can collect enough back to replant next year. And be sustainable.

IMO when you can set yourself up to be independent, and put so much meat on the table, that is frugal.

Planting garlic cloves!!! 6 weeks before the ground freezes is the best time. More rains coming in with the next hurricane. Been very rainy. Picked up a couple flower pots and matching can of spray paint for the baskets to pull everything together-- a little aqua to pick up the spirits as the...

YUM!!!! Tomatillos seem to thrive on neglect; but not the tomatoes.

loopeend- start simple and allow a couple years to accomplish this. I loo at the ingredients on the mix, and use the same items from my supply. Start with your favorites, or those used often. I like making my own as it eliminates any sugar, and the anti caking agents, etc. I buy my most...

Bought paint and matching pillow cases, comforter and plant pots at the thrift store to redecorate my living room-- adding a touch of robin egg blus -green. Cheap and cheery. = This thread goes quiet but never dies.

RE Stark. Have mixed reviews of the packing quality. I already reported on the first shipment-- did not receive the replacement tree. Had hoped it would be in the next shipment. NOpe. CHecked inventory of two boxes. Not included. But received duplicates of trees in that order. ANd one box...

They have an outdoors section right?? IMO this helps keep plants alive. GLad you had good luck and are enjoying the fruit.

First shipment was poorly packed: the moist shredded paper was placed above the graft, not on the roots, one tree dried out. Waiting for second shipment of all sale items. FIngers crossed.

buying live plants actually dormant types is no longer a discount when they dont grow because they are not kept .....dormant. I stopped at a tractor supply, and all the cane fruits look dead. A couple years based on their advice I bought one of these dead looking plants and yes, it was...

well said :thumbsup

.... " a greatful and thankful heart is the secret to true peace and happiness" is developed in the darkest hours. I rather like how I feel when I say "thank you" for a pretty blossom, or for the buzzing bee. :love

@dunnmom Having lots of money does not teach the same lessons that very little money does. I never buy clothes full price. Often Sources are free clothes. Just getting shoes are an issue but now that my kids have bigger feet than me, I buy them the new shoes and I take the old shoes. I live...

Putting in fruit trees, selecting those on sale. Bought black berries, buying 6 dropped the price per plant. Strawbwerries pay for themselves in one season if planting day neutral types. Buying better qualiity meats, butter and fruit/veg. More often organic or grassfed.

Orchard going in. Grafting some of the trees myself--a learning process. All bought at sale prices. looked at cutting down a 50 foot swath along drive to put in sugar maples---then found website that detailed tapping birches. NOT cutting down tappable birches to put in the maples that wont be...

Frozen foods last very well. I fill single serving containers for quick eats, just use masking tape n marker to list date. I have 5 freezers and got three free. I too buy when items on sale.
