Does anyone know who many cups of Red and ? to mix. I have about 4 cups of Red juice and about a cup of black berries to do up. I haven't done up the Jostaberries yet. Most Red currant AND call for a certain number of cups of each kind of berry, but I've got the Red currant juice done up so...

WEll now it's been awhile. Update on the berry bushes. The red currants have produced and I've got some black currant bushes that yielded about 6 cups. I only have two reds and they've given me enough for red jelly and black/red jelly. Have Jostaberries and they've done okay but will be picking...

Well now I'm of the mind that somethings you can get for free. Fruit that grows wild. Apples from friends. You can only eat so much in a year. Don't put up to much cuz it won't last forever. Check for wild grapes, apples etc. etc. Unless you intend to sell your overage. Check old abandoned...

We have family and friends from our church. Too, we could not go through this with out God. Today she is doing better. Thank you for your prayers. I told God last night that there must be someone praying whose prayer you will answer.

There were many posting on FB about to heat or not to heat. Some posters said "birds froze to death". I recently lost my Birchen Maran rooster. This right after the Jan thaw and tempts in the 50's that dropped to below zero the next day. I had stated that I thought birds that seem to die due to...

Reminds me of something I read in the Readers Digest. A grandmother thought "WTF" meant "with the family" so all her postings when on vacation end like this, "In Viennna WTF". "Having fun WTF". :lau

thought of getting bees at one time but lots of folks have them now and I don't use much honey. I have about three jars in the cupboard right now. Winter is my time. Tea with honey and biscuits.

let me know how those Buckeyes do. Where did you get them. I've considered dumping the marans and adding Bucks instead. Cold hard are they? My marans don't hatch well and since even the hens have a hard time, I figure they're not worth the trouble. I only hatch with hens these days. No time for...

Well she's staying warm under the blankts/throws. One cat is all I can take care of. :lol: Maybe pile on a few chickens? :lau

Got a near new furnace, Keep it at 68* but Lord have mercy she's got no meat on her bones. She's down to 122. Will have a nurse come on occasion. The cat has become her new best friend now that she's got the heated throws to keep her warm. :) I wanted a cat, but didn't adopt one. Norma...

See now I realized something. Chickens let up during december. Point? Save your eggs in November if you intend to do a lot of baking for Christmas. Too it's always good to get a half dozen or so, chicks to raise up. I sold the BO's but the others are laying. Still I've more slackers than...

Picuture is of Summer Wine ninebark. grows to 6' and 8 wide. Nice place for chickens to hide from predators and looks nice in the yard. I got some end of season discount. Easy to grow.

Watched episode of Homestead rescue. Anyone else watch this and care to comment?

Well I had one of those "duh!" moments when I realized I could just pop the tops and reprocess the tomatoes after adding th forgotten lemon juice and work out the bubbles. So I did. I didn't like waiting for the water boil since it took a long time.

This is the type I'm talking about. There are other styles.

Can't say about fruit trees though I've a granny smith that hasn't produced yet. I'm planting a Pink Lady this year. Now I did come to ask about the new low water canners. Any one got and use one? I just did five quarts of tomato/basil and used a lot of awter for that. too there are some air...

However this is why I dropped in. I've been busy with work and DW and homestead stuff. Here goes. Love cut and paste don't you? SO, I've been busy and tired. However I dropped in to offer information about tomatoes. Since winter is fast approaching and there have been frosts, what to do with...

I would love a covered porch right now. Weather is warm and it's raining but nice to sit out and daydream.

I also have two wagons for toting things like buckets or containers of feed. In the winter I fill milk jugs with hot water to the runs. No water in the coops as a rule. There may be exceptions like when I'm using the hoop for brooding chicks. Used wheel barrows are cheap too. I have two. I've...
