I love pound cake, but haven’t had one in years.

 

[WannaBeHillBilly]

Doing this today. But still over 100 lemons from just one tree. Dehydrated lemons, lemon bunt cake, lemon bars, preserved lemons, I think lemon marmalade today. Wish you were all here to share. Plus soooo many turnips. Pickled turnips, frozen greens. Fresh turnips for salad, cooked turnips, what else to do with turnips? Some years the garden is not happy and some years it is.

Would the ducks eat shredded Turnips? - My ducks go through solid walls for fresh turnip greens…

Good Morning, Day, Afternoon, Evening or Night Blue-Marble Inhabitants!

Just did the math of yesterday, i transported:

• 1,000 lbs duck food
• 800 lbs straw bale
• 1,800 lbs cement pavers

That is a total of 3,600 lbs, plus some 2x6's 240lbs of Quickcrete and a post-hole digger and i do not have any muscle-fever! I don't even feel overly tired. Creating a (Duck) farm in West Virginia must be good for my health!

Why would you waste good turnips on Dux?

If you have 2x6’s I must ask..

Do you hire Pinkertons to guard them, or do you keep them in a vault?

Still here work has been hard seems like a lot of people I know are getting covid. I am laying low.

I do "waste" for example red cabbage on my dux to increase the quality of their eggs during the winter time. Being fed with red kale the egg yolks become much deeper orange and the taste of the eggs also improves slightly.
Feeding turnip greens to the ducks changes the taste of their eggs to slightly "more aromatic", meaning they taste more "eggier". So i assume that if you have an excess of turnips and the dux would be willing to eat them the taste of their eggs will improve too.

Why? - There is a large bay in the local HomeDepot's lumber shelf full of 2x6's.
I want to use them to build some raised beds for next year's veggie-season.

They are so darn expensive up here now.
I was going to buy oak boards so I could re-tread the stairs and fainted at the cost.

I am going old school on the tread now. Here are my boards, as I get ready to prepare them.
