Skunk Cabbage is coming up too. Going soon to see how the Leeks are doing.

Very Cool. Thanks for posting that.

Making this today. It was a favorite that my Aunt made and we all looked forward to. We call it Chili Sauce but Hot pepper relish would fit also. Makes the house smell good too. 4 stalks celery 10 large sweet peppers 18 hot peppers 6 large onions 5 qts peeled tomatos Put Above thru grinder/food processer 5 tbs salt 1 1/2 cup sugar 2tsp cinnamon 1tsp nutmeg 2tbsp Pickling Spice (put in cheesecloth) 3 1/4 cup white vinegar Combine all and boil till thick put in sterilized jars and seal.

Dodge,,mine looked nice like that too,but was rotten inside.

I planted my Tomatos in an area that was not planted in the past hoping to prevent any carryover of Blight,Also bought from a local grower and not chain store plants. From what I now understand is that the Blight can be transfered from garden to garden by birds, rabbits, or even walking into someone elses garden that is infected.

That I am sure of,just had an old friend look at mine and he confirmed it.

Im thinking its not so good again. My plants have black areas on the leaves. I picked a very nice looking red one a few days ago but it was all rotten inside. I also didnt get any Zuchinni, lots of flowers but then they just died off.

Starflower it is . Thanks all .

Thanks for the site Nan. But still cant find it. I keep looking.

I cant find any info on this wildflower I found near Parker Dam . Very small , flower is maybe 1/2" across with plant standing only maybe 6" high.

I also mixed in some Hay with the soil. The upside down tomatos in a 5 gal bucket tend to dry out quickly and the Hay helps hold in moisture.

Really cool . Mamies Store on the left, Antique shop on the right. Thanks ,good pic.

They climb trees also.

Thats Neat, I have to show my Mom that. She worked at Deposit Bank.

Sounds like your describing a "Morel" . Very tasty but hard to find. Only come up early spring for just a few weeks.

I put d-con out one year only to find months later they were storing it in an old helmet I had in my garage. so much for that idea.

My dad has a buddy that has quite a bit, Ill check with him today and let you know.

My mother has them ,Pretty but very delicate. Hers are orange.

To get one of my favorite smells in my house I simmer some pickling spice.

The only way Ive found to keep deer out of the garden is to put them in my Crockpot.

looks like part of a fan for an old coal mine.

CAMP BREAD 1 cup flour 1/2 cup water fat (for frying) (1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder)* (1/2 teaspoon salt)* Mix water, flour, baking powder and salt together. Stir and kneed to form a dough free from lumps. Turn onto a lightly floured board and pat into a rough square about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch squares. Melt fat (shortening, bacon fat, beef tallow, etc.) in a heavy skillet or Dutch oven. Be sure to use enough fat to give the bottom of the skillet a good coating. When a drop of water sizzles in the pan, place the dough squares into the fat. Cook the squares at a medium heat until lightly browned. Then turn over and cook the other side. Serve at once.
