    Weather in your area?

    West of Ft Worth, the radar is looking pretty Harry, severe thunderstorm warning, possible 70 mph winds, flash flooding and large hail possible. If it hits us, guess it'll be start over for the garden....

    Chicken Illness

    Not really sure what it was but they are all healthy now. I'm leaning toward bronchitis, that seems to fit the symptoms. I used amoxicillin and pinkeye drops for their eye symptoms.

    What's Everybody Canning?

    If you want to make low sugar fruit spreads that are a bit more calorie friendly and require no pectin, I came up with a pretty easy way to do it. You can prepare your fruit/sugar mix to your desired taste and add fine ground psyllium powder until it thickens up. It will be a guess as to how...

    Chicken Illness

    I talked to my BIL a few days ago, he pays $16.00 per 50lb bag of 28% feed, paid $420.00 for enough to feed out 80 birds.

    Got insomnia? Grow a natural sleeping remedy!

    I pull the plants, roots and all, wash em thoroughly and boil until the plants fall apart. Let the pot sit overnite then strain the solids out and boil the liquid down to a syrup. Tastes like crap but it works, the syrup can be canned and put on the shelf till needed.

    Kratom?

    Capsules are good, the stuff does have a powerful "twang" to it. I hand loaded 00's until I got tired of of filling em up then I just starting mixing it with water and slamming it down. lol

    Kratom?

    I started using Kratom about six months ago for chronic pain and it works great for me. I wanted to(and did) stop using OTC NSAID because as stated above, they are hard on the stomach and are also hard on the liver. I'm a fan of Kratom and keep it on the shelf.

    Let's hear it for Purslane!

    I let it grow anywhere we find it. We pick it and make relish with it, sweet relish is best with dill being close second.

    Got insomnia? Grow a natural sleeping remedy!

    Don't know how many have tried it but wild lettuce is good for insomnia. It also works pretty well for anxiety, coughs and is a pain killer that works as well as many OTC NSAIDs.

    We make quite a bit of jelly but I'm not very good at it yet. In my book, jelly is more of an art than a science but unfortunately im not much of an artist...... lol

    What's Everybody Canning?

    They're still a few orchards around but you have to know where they are to get any good ones. When I was a kid, seemed like everyone grew them, now everyone goes to the grocery store and buys those rock hard things that have no flavor at all. We have five trees now and I just dug the holes to...

    I'm re-jaring some jelly tonight, going from quarts to half pints. We give jelly boxes for Christmas each year, full quarts of peach jelly might send some people into diabetic shock. lol
