The original smaller one seems a bit small even for three chickens. I really do like the larger one, and wonder if perhaps they will be available in the US soon? I'm currently looking into the lega...
No dogs, but I do have cats. Two live apart from me, one lives with me. The two who live with my parents sleep leaning right up against whichever human they are sleeping with that night. The one wh...
It's important to know what your goal is before you start planting things. Do you want just enough to eat for supper a few days a week, or are you planning to put by the bounty of your garden? Also...
Hate to say it- but you're a bit late for morel forays. There will still be some in the sweet spots, but no nearly as prolific now as at the height of their season. Next year, try earlier in the sp...
Suggestions on how to juggle cooking for a group, and having the dishes arrive on-table at the proper temperatures and with the proper timing would be EXCELLENT right about now.
I'm looking for the best way to amend my soil to add calcium to where I plant my tomatoes. Most calcium rich amendments drastically throw off the pH, so something which doesn't do that would be awe...
I'd hate to see this with fish in, save MAYBE a single betta. Bowls like this and traditional "goldfish bowls" are death-traps for fish. Toxins build up far too quickly, temperature cannot be safel...
I'm moving more and more away from the use of peat based products, with the exception right now of my bog garden. Peat is a very slowly renewing resource, much like oil or coal. Yes, it technically...
Chives will spread rather profusely if you aren't careful. I container grow my chives specifically for this reason. My parents garden has been taken over by chives and mint. Not that it's a bad thi...
@Kassie
Why not container garden or use raised beds? That way you'd be growing in added soil, not your native soil? You might also want to send off a sample of your soil to have it tested and...
Hmm... this weekend brought:
-Mowing the lawn (old fashioned manual push mower- no emissions yay!)
-Weeding, more weeding, and attempts to manage the bind-weed infestation
...
My all time favorite bread book (so much so that it falls open to my most often used bread recipes) is Beard on Bread. It has a lovely companion book Beard on Pasta which is equally awesome.
...
Grew up with hardwood floors throughout the whole house, kitchen included. Have hard wood floors throughout the first floor, kitchen included, now. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'd love to hear ideas and suggestions on how to pull off a dinner party (for say... oh... six people) when you have a tiny TINY kitchen and no dishwasher or microwave. How to manage the organizati...
I'll be keeping a close watch on this. As an avid gardener, garden blogger, and beginning-stage urban homesteader, I'm sure there will be lots to learn and share!
For those interested,...
@Michelle
Heh, these were still pretty young so they were about hand-sized. Not nearly the largest of this, or really any, variety that I forage and DEFINITELY not the largest when compared t...
@Rebecca
Oh, we lost power to the whole house for a couple days, which is why we lost everything. I'm used to freezers staying cold inside when the power is off as long as you don't open the ...
One good thing to do is keep tabs on what you like when you eat out. If there's a flavor I like in something and can't place what it is, I ask. That way I can try and replicate that at home.

OK... so, here's what I've got to work with:
frozen fish, lots of it- primarily salmon, though there is some assorted white fish in there too
potatoes, lots of them

I try to keep a stocked pantry as much as I can- and I stock what we eat. I'm not LDS (obviously, as I'm one of the Pesach constrained ones right now), but I do shoot for a 1 year supply of pantry ...
