My sister gave us her recipe for squash pickles. These were the yellow summer squash, and the recipe is very similar to a bread-and-butter pickle recipe. If I can find it I'll post. As I recall,...

Much depends on your area. I'm in the middle of Missouri, and Cedar Apple Rust is a big problem for me. I have planted about 15 different apple and culinary crab apple varieties, and I wish now...

I've been having a running argument with a friend about yogurt and how it has changed over the years and figured I'd poll the group on their opinion.

I can recall when I had my first taste of...

My electric version must not have the maximum heating capacity of the gas version because it really does require higher settings when its cold out. I had to run it at max heating for much longer...

Now boys, you know we do tend to wander off and smooze amongst ourselves a bit. I actually didn't read ez's last note before I replied, so I didn't notice his apparent irritation with the group, but...

Bird,

I usually just hit mine with a dose of vinegar, but I have tried balsamic vinegar before, and that gives them a kind of sweet and sour tang, too. The maple syrup in that recipe seems to...

If that piece of shoulder was particularly lean I suppose it could end up somewhat tough, though I've only run into tough pork wih something like loins. I've smoked lots of spare ribs and "country...

Bird,

I did brine the turkey I smoked for Thanksgiving. Fortunately it was cold enough that my laundry room, which is unheated, was cool enough that I didn't have to fit the big pan with the...

Kellenw,

What variety did you plant? I'm probably going to add raspberries to my fruit mix this year or next. I may have to put them into the same fenced area I'm going to use for my blueberries...

It won't apply to Brownmule's problem, but I'm preparing to put in some blueberries this spring, and I think I'll be able to keep the deer at bay fairly easily. I've made two raised beds, 4x25 feet,...

The electric fence is a very good idea....thanks. In fact, I used a battery powered fence to protect a patch of sweet corn last summer. It worked great for the deer, but I lost the corn to coons,...

jml,

I will protect the seedlings in the to-be-transplanted bed, which will be 2-3 feet apart, as you describe, but individual trees, planted where I want them to grow, will be separated by about...

I guess what I'm thinking is in line with Pat's suggestion. Plant them in a way that will allow easier transplanting. I'm thinking to maybe dig a trench, starting with my middle buster and going...

I posted this question over on tractorbynet and JazzDad and one other fella responded, but I figured I'd put it out here, too.

I like pecans and most other nuts, and I've planted five grafted...

Bird,

I'm not sure when I'll do my turkey because it looks like the Thanksgiving schedule will be "interesting" this year. However, I may try the brining thing overnight, simply because that...

Bird,

What temperature were you running? I've got the electric version of your smopker and plan to try a turkey for Thanksgiving and was wondering about the necessary time. So far, for ribs and...

Well, Yeah, but that's cheating. /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif Is there much of anything that doesn't taste good wrapped in bacon? Chicken livers, stuffed jalapenos, most any vegetable.

We had so much yellow squash last year we made relish and pickles out of them. Real good. More or less the same pickling recipe as for bread and butter pickles. Goes great with beans and on...

Bird,

It's not exactly raining at the moment, just misty. Supposed to rain somethime before noon. The forecast is for a chance of rain.....forever. What usually happens here is we'll have a...

Got the potatoes, onions and snap peas in the garden Tuesday between bouts of rain. I already had turnip and mustard greens, spinach, leaf lettuce, radishes, bunching onions and beets started in my...

Bird,

I had forgotten that old standard. I don't think newer cars are wired that way, but it sure made sense at the time. I'm thinking now that the problem may be in the headlight switch, since...

Son's 1998 Taurus started having some strange light problems. The dash lights and the tail lights both stopped working at the same time. Bulbs and fuses are OK, and there doesn't seem to be a...

In an adjacent county, there is one farmer who refuses to sign because he doesn't want the development which would be sure to follow. The only thing keeping a large tract on one side of him from...

Me too. And I had all kinds of important stuff to say there, as usual!

OK. I looke up the saskatoons, and will try to find a source for the plants. They sound like something I would like to try.
