Friday, August 26, 2011. First adventures with the pottery wheel. So, just finished reading that book I got on pottery wheel stuff and now hat I've scored some clay, I've given it a whirl on the wheel for the first time. Took my perfectly cleaned up wheel and turned it into a disaster real quick, that's for sure! Here's some first time ever spinning pics. New box of clay. Gettin' centered on the wheel.

Saturday, November 26, 2011. Garden update. what's this blog? Both beds all put away with straw on the top from a recent chicken coop cleaning. Cascades plant here, with the Llama manure treatment again. Looks like hell, but I expect this horseradish is just fine underneath. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Friday, September 2, 2011. Anyway, here's a few pics of the new arrivals. A bird in the hand. yep. They're a mic of different breeds of chicken, so we're not sure exactly what we've got. We'll maybe be able to tell a bit more when they get older. and if we've maybe even got a rooster in the group? I sorta hope so, and hope not, all at the same time. We'll see. Links to this post.

Ups & Downs: Update.. of everything.

http://mikesupsanddowns.blogspot.com/2012/07/update-of-everything.html

Friday, July 27, 2012. Update. of everything. So A few months later. Hard to get all four of the new kids in the same pic because they're each being raised by two different hens, who don't always stand next to each other. :) Again, statistics say there's gona be two boys and two girls out of this group, so we'll see how that develops. They're 5 days old at the time this pic was taken, born/hatched on the 21st of July. Garden is doing well, too. Here's a shot of that madness:. Update. of everything.

Saturday, September 10, 2011. Got a few jar of Hot Cherry pepper relish put away and then did up nine 1/2 pint jars of Jalapeno pepper rings the next day. Very industrious! Still haven't cracked open any of the salsa, because they say to wait a couple weeks for all the flavors to meld together well, but we're getting close now and I should have some results to post soon. Here's some of that stuff I mentioned above. Hot Cherrys, all chopped up. 87 Jalapeno's in this basket alone, all from the Earthbox.

Thursday, September 22, 2011. Jelly and relish. still canning! Did my first batch of jelly the other day. Used the wild grapes I've found in the neighborhood as well as a few lbs I've found out and about in other parts of the world (top secret locations! This is 4.8lbs of wild grapes. It was actually pretty stinkin' easy. In order to do it, I had to buy a new (had to? Simmering on the skins. Separating from the skins after simmering. 42lbs of hot peppers!
