I only have about 15 plants in, and like I said, this is the first time planting potatoes. I do thank you for the advice, and now that is what I will do with them!

RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
Its fine to have one,
Its fine to be proud of it,
But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
We got 5 new chickens, 4 hens and a roo. They are about 3-4 months old, so should start laying by fall. All are Buff Orpington except one. Shes a buff/english orpington cross.
Ive been picking a quart or two of blueberries every other day. A gallon of bell peppers and a pint of Serrano peppers, cukes, and tomatos are starting to produce good as well. Made our first batch of bread and butter pickles today.
I have been working on a couple of raised beds for my wifes boss. I got a drip irrigation system for her installed this week. It was super easy to put together and works really well. I picked it up from here.www.dripdepot.com
I'll post a review after a while, once i get some experience with it.
Currently out on training ops in Fla, so no prepping for me this month.

About to pickle some okra and banana peppers, didn't have quite enough in this round to bust out the fryer for the okra, so pickling it is. We've got THE BEST cherry tomatoes I've ever had right now, the plant is 4x4x5' high and we've gotten about 75 maters so far with about 60 more on the way. My watermelons and cantaloupes are blowing up, they're about the size of a baseball right now, but I've got about 20. I'm finally getting Roma maters in decent quantities, and our sugar snap peas are almost 6' tall and producing well. Stuttgarter onions are almost ready, the few we've eaten so far were fantastic. I'm starting to plan next year's tater and onion beds, I'm gonna do rows of black plastic with a drip system , so the dirt prep starts now.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
Ak, sounds like your food is kickin butt! I am most likely gonna instsll a drip system myself. First one will be for the grapes, blueberries, & fruit & nut trees. Taters, onions, and maters will be next. The cost of predone systems aren't bad. If you pick and choose what you need, it would probably cost even less.
Changed out some of the water supply for fresher water. Added a little bleach to help it keep. Added a few cans of hash for storage. Worked on the garden. Something (perhaps squirrels, I have never seen rabbits in our area) has basically ruined my green beans by eating almost all the plants down.
Could also be rats, they did that to every tomato I had ripe until I put out poison. I've policed up 6 big dead rats so far.Originally Posted by Socalman

Mmmm that's some good eats right there!! Oh wait... you did say Cats, right?
Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!
Cat's are food... not friends!

This past weekend I grabbed my bug out bag, loaded my canoe on my car and had a survival weekend.
I used only what was in my bag, so I had to create my own shelter, forage for food, create fishing gear. The only non bob item I brought was my .177 airrifle.
Over all I was pretty good for a 4 day bug out. I kept myself fed, watered and sheltered in relative comfort. I feel it was a success.
Gear included 3 knives, folding shovel, mosquito head net, minimal clothing, pellets, slingshot, snare wire, life straw, water tabs, compass, Firesteel, cotton balls, hand ax and folding saw, tarp and paracord.
Where did you go Caveman?
