    Meg is always busy with taking care of her family needs. She reminds me of having a house full of growing boys that were always hungry and so much laundry and I didn't have a dryer for years, only a clothes line. Meg has my respect and affection and is the woman of Proverbs. God bless y'all.

    The wee one leaves you in the dust Ben. She's gonna keep you guys on your toes! Ben, we are in our 60's and just starting out. Two years into our farm. Talk about bad backs and knees. But I tell myself, I'm out there moving and stretching. You should see me doing slo-mo Tai- chi, collecting my free range eggs in the woods! Comical. Guys thanks so much for taking the time to film and edit for us. This is so much better than anything on TV.

    • @nagasvoice8895
      @nagasvoice8895 Рік тому +4

      I couldn't see the seed well enough to guess, so that would determine it. Just the stem and leaf attachment and rough leaf edges looked like purple leaf rootstock plum to me, aka Myrobalan plum. That has a gorgeous color, very small fruit (bird plums) and suckers like a mad thing when grafted to nicer plum varieties, but it is tough as nails. Also, thorny.

  • @faithk_integrityandintention
    @faithk_integrityandintention Рік тому +4

    My intention has always been, when I finally get some land, is to plant a prerimeter fence of osage orange. Something else you may want to try since you are doing the same: cut them and throw the pulp and seeds and let them ferment with some water. I don't remember how long to let them go, but once they are done, dig a trench, then pour the seeds in and cover. They should have good germination. I need to find that article I had saved about it (lost all my "future homestead" files in a stupid crash)

    Love the cutlet idea, mmm. Smoked gouda, and a mustard mayo, maybe. Meal looked amazing all around! Still need to try making that cesar dressing from awhile back.
    Red Savina is meant to be a larger, thicker, hotter habanero. We grew it a few years, but the flavor wasn't that significant to give it space again this year, over any other habanero. (Have plenty still in one freezer that need to be turned into something anyway, so my tune may change when we run out!) The larger size does make it less fiddly when you are trying not to cut your gloves during processing.
    The heat was a bit random. Some were totally as advertised, others seemed the same as a basic hab. The bhut Jolokias (ghosts) were still more flavorful, and the heat, hm, bloomed nicer, even though it's more heat? In our opinion, soil, weather, etc.

    Me again. My favorite way to fix pork chops is the way my mom always fixed them. Dredge pork chops in a mixture of flour, salt, pepper and onion powder. Slowly brown both sides in oil (I use olive oil) in a skillet over medium to medium low heat. When well browned cover with water and a lid. Simmer on low to simmer setting. Check frequently and add more water. Cook for close to an hour. What you get is tender pork chops smothered in gravy.
