Golden Gaits Garden: RECIPES
http://ggranch-garden.blogspot.com/p/recipes.html
OUR GARDEN EXPERIENCE and RAISING DUCKS IN WELLINGTON, CO. I make most everything from scratch, and here are a few of my favorite recipes, in no particular order. Cape Cod Soft Molasses Cookies. Delicious ginger snap recipe from King Arthur Flour. A link to some delicioius cookies at Cooking Light. In place of the "toffee bits" I use a chopped up Heath Bar and 1/3 c. chopped pecans. These are not particularly budget friendly, but relatively healthy. These are nice and chewy, not too hard or stiff! This i...

OUR GARDEN EXPERIENCE and RAISING DUCKS IN WELLINGTON, CO. Wednesday, October 5, 2016. The "baby" ducklings are now 9 weeks old, and all grown up!

According to information I had read, I thought that the Cayuga ducks (Blackie) were supposed to be quite calm, but not this one! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We retired our Wellington garden whe...

http://ggranch-garden.blogspot.com/2011/07/duck-paddock.html
OUR GARDEN EXPERIENCE and RAISING DUCKS IN WELLINGTON, CO. Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Duck House and Paddock from window.

A true engineer, he planned the whole thing out, and with a few changes of plan along the way, it's done. Now we can let the cat out while the ducks are outside! There's no way she can get in. We have ...
