I have some Skn Savr™ I made with soy oil instead of rice bran. It works the same, smells awesomely good, however, as silly as it MAY sound, I keep getting the jars confused with the rice and I've mislabeled 3 large jars today, so I've put it on s...
ok, do you still have them?
I am interested. I know bees range up to 2 miles. I know NOTHING
about keeping bees.
However, you said 'small' box. How small is small? How many bees about?
In the spring my tea tree is COVERED with blooms for weeks. ...
I have 3 muscovies I got from Rachel. The mama duck quit laying about 6 weeks ago. She laid one a day.
There are 2 'babies'. Zorro and Half Dome [breakfast and lunch, Dinner aka Bandit, was killed at the meat workshop and smoked on Thursday, excel...
Interesting. Like most honey with the exception of "raw" I assumed there was heat processing involved in Agave syrup. I had a hard time imagining a spigot on the side of a plant with the beautiful syrup flowing. I agree with the excellent research...

Hi Janine: Thanks for friending me! I'm not actually active with this group any more but post over at www.AZHomegrownSolutions.org so I apologize for how long it took me to respond to your friend request.
Thanks for the invite. I'll take you up on that soon. We'll plan a simple thing to can and go for it. We'll get you over that fear of pressure cookers. Nothin to em. I go a good one. Guaranteed not to explode, lol.
Not at the moment. The other half doesn't get into this stuff. I live for it. Will take u up on your offer sometime. We'll chat more at the canning session sunday.
BTW, I love your garden. I haven't started mine yet. Need to set it up and prep the ground. This fall will get busy with lots of veggies. Oh yeah, I have a coctail tree.....lemons and tangelos. You're welcome to pick the flowers if you like
Hello Janine,
I see you're signed up for the Applesauce canning this weekend. I'll see you there. I'd be glad to share what I know about canning. All self taught and still learning. I know a couple of people that I need to hook up with who are old school canners and experts at it. Look forward to learning more from them. If you're not in a hurry after the canning session Sunday, perhaps we can chat a bit.
Sounds like you're heavy into naturopathy and herbalism. Thats an area where I'd like to learn as much as I can. Look forward to sharing and having some fun.
Not a problem. Actually I was only speaking for us on the bagged stuff. I hate asking my husband to tote a bunch of 100 pounders that we get at Lowe's and don't want to take a chance on another herniated disc.
You are very welcome in regards to th...
Thank you!!!! I have a crepe myrtle bush I started from a twig that will go in the "triangle" and maybe one of my big driftwood pieces. I need to get a little more planting done in there before it "rains" Monday. You realize that if it actually do...
In a way I think that's part of the fun of landscaping projects. They do take shape then we can keep tweeking the look. Our back yard is the same way. We got most of the hardscape in, got the lawn going good and planted the fruit trees but now am ...
Wow- I looked at your photos- what an amazing transformation! I am just at the beginning of that journey as I just closed on the house at the end of June. Would it be OK if I asked who you had remove the ash trees? I have a large i-don't-know-what...
I'm working on it, Chris. We don't have 100 SF just yet, but a reasonable sized plot for a family of three. We currently have sprouts and fairly well-developed parsley, cilantro, radishes, chives, lettuce, spinach, nasturtians, kale, potatoes, car...
