You don't need to be the strongest
or the most intelligent to survive
but by having the right tools and
the adaptability of change
is where you will prevail.
Money!
I worked 48+ hours of overtime in the last week!
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!
If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Harvested 9 chickens in the last 2 days. And harvested 6 rabbits 2 weeks ago.
I picked the last of our bannana and bell peppers, eggplant, butternut, acorn, and spaghetti squash. We also have been getting 1-2 pickings of Okra each week. Didn't get any pics of anything.
I have 4 cold weather tomatos to repot, that will be coming in the house before long. Hopefully we'll have fresh maters this winter.
Harvested Penicillin, Day quill, nite quill, migraine meds, juice, chicken soup and bed rest. You got it We are both sick. DH got it first and I was not worried about catching it what ever it is going around down here. Everyone I know in different states are sick with flu like symptoms. Doctors are calling it upper respiratory infection because they don't know what it is. I have never, ever gotten sick in all my 53 yrs. But knew the day was coming and it was going to kick my butt. But the good news is having this made me realize that I did not have a good stock of these things and I need to do that. Guess if you don't use it you forget you might need it. So people remember to stock up on clod and flu meds too.

Cucumbers, melons, tomatoes and squash. We finely have some good tomatoes, it is about time. The cantaloupes are outstanding. It is so nice to know were your food is coming from and it is safe consume.
Harvest the peanuts this weekend. Probably have 20lb's or so. They are drying now.
Sweet potatoes will be next month. Planted and will continue to plant fall crops.
Onestep what do you have to do to grow peanuts.
Next week I am making a bunch of salsa and canning tomatoes. I will be making pickles with the cucumbers. Hopefully in a few weeks the pomegranates will be ready for jelly.
Realist, I buy the green peanuts from the grocery store, Publix in our area.
These are the ones they sell for boiling purposes.
You open the shell and plant only one of the nuts inside. Space about a foot apart.
They take about 3 months to mature (I planted around July 4th). The main root base will have the most peanuts but they send out runners where nuts will grow off of. I did count the number of nuts on a couple of plants and the most I got off one plant was 48.
I need to find out if you always have to use the green peanuts to plant of if there is another "seed" method. The problem wil be if you can't get them from the grocery store, so I need to research how farmers do it.
buy them from a local farmers market, that way they are fresh from the ground. Burpee sells the jumbo Virginia kind cheap, and yes raw green are the one's to plant. here is a link that might help with this.
