How absolutely wonderful! Honeysuckle came up from the bottom this morning with this treasure...a bull calf! We are naming him Property Taxes! I can take that worry out of my basket now. God Bless

Hard Freeze Tonight...The Last of the Garden....Hurry, Hurry
Переглядів 6977 років тому
Hard freeze coming tonight and there is still so much in the garden. I ended up with over five 5 gallon buckets of tomatoes, a bucket of green peppers and onions, 3 buckets of Danny Corn for corn meal, a large laundry basket of Amish pie pumpkins and butternut squash, more dried lima beans, sugar snap peas, and some stuff I have probably forgotten. God Bless

Canning Potatoes using Tattler Reusable Lids
Переглядів 5 тис.7 років тому
Yea! Food City had a sale on russet potatoes ... 50 pounds for $11.99. That's about $0.24 per pound. I pulled out the canner, got to peeling, and decided to use my Tattler reusable lids. I just love these Tattler lids. Since they are reusable they fit into our self-sustaining lifestyle well. There are a couple differences in how they are used from one time use metal lids. I go into those differ...
Veteran's Overlook and the Beautiful Clinch River
Переглядів 6597 років тому
Half way between Tazewell and Morristown, TN on Hwy 25E overlooking the beautiful and scenic Clinch River the citizens of Grainger County erected a memorial to those that have given their lives in defense of our freedoms. The memorial also commemorates MIA's and POW's. I think that this is probably one of the most beautiful spots on earth ... or, at least in northeast Tennessee. Please, forgive...

A storm came through last night and damaged the garden. All I can do is go forward and see what I can repair. This is part of living off the land and off grid.

    Earlier last week, I bought 3 huge heads of cabbage with the intent of canning some, putting some in homemade vegetable soup to can and to make a small batch of saurkraut. I forget the process I had learned. So, I got my new canning book out just to find out it's not recommended to can cabbage. Other than saurkraut or in a mix for relishes, they say the density is an issue that makes it unsafe. I was really looking forward to it being in my vegetable soup! Now, instead, i have a huge crock of saurkraut fermenting. I guess the bright side is I wouldn't need to make more for a long tkme! 😅

    If you have a stream on the property, you can use an inexpensive, homemade, self running, non electric, stream powered Ram Pump made from a few plumbing supplies. Even if the stream is quite a ways away, and lower than your tanks. There are lots of youtube videos about this. It can pump the stream water quite far uphill and if there's nearby spring, a double acting ram pump can pump just the spring water.
