I’m still not done with those darn “dry” beans! Sunny days are a precious commodity this time of year. And as usual 10 things need doing right now – but everyone including me has been getting tired of skirting this hill of beans. It rained so much that the pods on these plants that were dry, were ...3 days ago -
Naked seed pumpkin
Throwback at Trapper Creek —

The jury is still out on the naked seed pumpkin in our garden. The idea of seeds you can just eat straight out of the pumpkin without shelling is intriguing, and I had grown Snack Jack before. But, with all the harvesting and preserving projects each fall, adding one more job that needed attention at that busy ...6 days ago -

Preserve something: Dried apples, apple peel; strained and bottled plantain oil, burdock extract.4.

More beans and seed stuff

These beans weren’t so easy to thresh. Another heirloom personally close to me, these are green beans and these pods were strictly saved for seed. This was an exceptional year for drying down my seed pods on the vine. Many days my pockets were full of dry pods when I came in from the garden. These pods do ...2 weeks ago -

Growing dry beans in our area is as touch and go as field corn. While we have a long mild growing season, the heat units needed for these crops are sorely lacking. But, in keeping with my local seed preserving interest, I have been happy to keep growing a dry bunch bean that has been a staple in our cool mountain ...2 weeks ago -

How to save tomato seeds
No Ordinary Homestead —
Authority: 124
As the garden season winds down here, it’s time for me to think ahead to next year’s planting. Starting seeds for seedlings will begin in just a few short months which means I better get going on my newspaper pots. But more important will be having seeds themselves. Because without seeds, what would I plant? I ...3 weeks ago -
Labels

Authority: 418
I don’t like labels much, most that people apply to us don’t fit too well. Most people who meet us, assume Hangdog is the farmer because he is a man. Or they think we aren’t farmers because we don’t have big tractors with cabs to ride around in, which we don’t need because we don’t till much ...3 weeks ago -
