I use cast iron skillets without any problem. The kettle I was using to make jelly was cast iron also and no problems. It was spilling the hot high sugar jelly on the glass that did the damage.

What I hate is that you can't use a pressure cooker on them. I have a big canner sitting waiting to be used. I've been thinking about getting a turkey fryer to use to can but till then, it sits on a shelf.

Maddy and I binge watched an entire season of “Love Your Garden” today and now our heads are stuffed with too many ideas to wait till spring.

Penny! YOU? Impatient?

I'm waiting on our stuff for the kitchen to be delivered. I thought they would have been here by now.
And the load of crushed rock dh ordered to fix the drive way is supposed to be here today also.
I am hoping he will have enough to make me a walk way for the greenhouse we are going to build.

I am wanting a truckload of gravel too!

I've been wanting a small goldfish pond since I moved here. lol
I had a kiddie pool at one time that I grew just water plants in. But I did not have any
fish in it.

In FL i dug a big koi pond, 14x14, 3 feet deep in one end, foot deep in the other end. Then i built a big waterfall and made a filter system and a small pond at the top of the waterfall. Loved it!

We have a lagoon behind our barn that was once the over the hill septic system for a mobile home that was on the property many years ago. The previous owner used it to water his stock. Several years ago during a drought it dried up and exposed a wealth of debris in the bottom, everything from tires to buckets. We cleaned it out, DH took the tractor and cleaned out the bottom. Ever since then it has leaked.

I've always dreamed of turning it into a big water attraction and habitat. I keep telling DH I need a few ducks to muck it up and seal it back down for me but I suspect there will be a liner in the works at some point. We plan to get a remnant from a local tarp company at some point as we will need a length 40X40 to cover it.

My biggest pond to date was 4X8X4. I dug it as stress relief from working before I met my DH. I'd be out at 11pm at night with my shovel digging away.

We had clay in the bottom of our pond in TN, and then got pigs. They are supposed to be good pond sealers.

He didn't dump any.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were saying he came and dumped and was gone before you even had a chance to get out there. Hope you can get all these deliveries scheduled and done. You're really gonna be ticked if your Saturday install folks can't do anything and all that time and effort is wasted.
