Finally Getting Ready For Kidney Transplant...

Comments (9)You might be close. The 3 large ash and 2 silver maples I have cut or had cut down seemed to be 50+ by my ring counting ability. So I would guess they dated to the late 50's when my house was built. The oak, maybe a few more. Two of my three neighbors have 1920/30s era homes with large oaks planted on a similar line. All the properties were one before their homes were built so it wouldn't amaze me if the oak predated my home by a few. Now that you got me thinking, that tree has survived the driveway being repaved at least once and a minimum of one septic system rebuild I know of in the 90's which gets maybe 20 feet from its trunk....See MoreFinally got around to repotting some of my succulents!
Comments (3)I use an equal mix of general purpose compost, sharp sand or horticultural grit and perlite. I don't measure it accurately just grab a handful of each. :)...See MoreOh my gosh, I finally got a pressure canner... now what?
Comments (6)Well, now there's all kinds of stuff you are able to can, with a pressure canner! I had to look up that brand, I'd never even heard of it. First, you can put the stuff in smaller jars, just not bigger ones. So process the half pints for the same time you do pints. And you can do pumpkin and winter squash, but in cubes, not in puree. You can process broth, stock, vegetables, soups, all kinds of things. Right now on my shelves I have chili, split pea soup, french onion soup, chicken, beef and duck stocks, cabbage roll soup, base for chicken noodle soup or chicken rice soup, cubes of beef, sweet and sour chicken (which I haven't tried yet, so I can't make rash promises). I had a problem canning dried beans, about half of them unsealed and the beans just soaked up the liquid, leving the beans dry and overcooked. I haven't had time to try again since then. I've canned salmon and taco filling and beef stew, as well as most of my garden vegetables. You cannot safely can pureed squash/pumpkin, as it is too thick and heat penetration is an issue. Noodles and pasta turn to mush, they're disgusting and dairy is pretty much a no-go. Flour used as thickener will clump and cornstarch loses it's thickening power, ClearJel is the way to go when canning. Some approved recipes have a little butter or fat in them, but not a lot. Good luck, and happy canning! Annie...See Morebulldinkie
