    Yes, that bush is a flowering Quince. I have a start off my great gma's quince from their old homestead about 85 years ago. My mom remembered her planting it. It's out my kitchen window, so I get to enjoy it every day.

    I live on the farm my great-grandparents had. Their rule was no tree planted unless it produced food. So there is something to harvest most of the year here in Northern California (9B). I'm very fortunate ❤

    @penelopewright3611 Рік тому

    Yes it's a Quince. What you need to know is that it flowers on old growth, so you have to be careful when pruning, that you don't cut off all your flowering branches (I did that a few years ago - very sad!). It also grows big so put it is a large spot. Mine is late this year due to our cold, cold spring, but it's coming out now and just makes me smile every time I see it. Definitely worth the investment for Spring color!

    I'll visit them for trees and pick up some. Good "reasonable" prices. I found some small potted $10 blueberries at a local nursery in Ida, MI. Decided to give that another try. Tractor Supply used to sell very young, but $8 fruit trees. The problem is the big ones are now $40.
    Your trees should survive. It's the same natural area where they initially grew at.

    Thank you guys yet again for sharing your day with us, I always take something away from spending time with you two on my back porch!😄 I did have a thought though as I was watching you trim your goat meat as it reminded me of my dear meat. I don’t know if you’re going to raise meat goats again but I would suggest to have the butcher leave the ‘stew’ meat in as large chunks as possible (roast type size) and then you trim them into stew chunks yourselves. Much easier than trimming each individual piece of stew. I also cut up my meat when it’s still partially frozen and it cuts into perfect 2” square chunks really easily. Just a thought to share since you’ve taught me so much! ❤🇨🇦❤

    We just butchered one of our Nubians…I just decided to can all of it and skip the freezer. I have a hard time cooking goat to make it tender unless I slow cook it. Canning it is just perfect for us. Makes it versatile and easy work of processing so we can skip the vacuum seal bags etc.

    My parents had a double oven range, small oven on top. Mom had put a pressure cooker of green beans on and she went to check it and it exploded, spitting hot green beans and glass on her. Luckily , the lid to the canner hit the upper oven saving her from a direct hit. She had some burns and cuts but nothing severe. She was pretty sure she probably didn’t get the lid on right. The plant looks like what we call japonica or fire in the bush.
