[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2390111, member: 1242"] Talk about bumping old threads ... Well things didn't go quite like I'd planned and I've not done some of the things I listed but done some I didn't ... How 'bout you guys?? Let's see ... as usual, I'll go first ... I didn't learn to brew beer but in my defense, I really can't drink much anymore due to my meds for my neck and I have a very dear, very young, very handsome feller who lives close who is kind enough to share with me from his personal stash of homebrew (which is VERY VERY GOOD ... ) from time to time ... Not only that but he also shares his spent grain with me. The chickens are happy, happy, happy! I'm trying my hand at making spent grain bread and he gets some really good eggs, along with homemade bread in return so that's a fair trade ... Maybe I'll try my hand at wine this year ... :anyone: I've come to the conclusion that an Appleseed patch is not in my future. My neck just will not let me shoot enough to qualify. :( It's a bummer, but it is what it is ... I tried the kombucha ... Don't like it. The mother is WAY too finicky (I think my house is too cold in the winter) and besides the tea upsets my stomach ... BAD ... Which is too bad because I kinda liked the taste ... Oh well ... on to other things ... However, my sourdough mother is growing like a weed! :woot: I'm in the process of learning how to dry it so I can put some up in the cabinet. That way if she ever dies ... or I don't have time to fool with taking care of her ... or I want to share her with friends (which I will if any one wants some) ... I will have a viable mother to share ... This sourdough thing is really fun ... A lot better than the kombucha, even though there are some similarities ... Thinking about trying my hand at the Amish Friendship Bread, but if I get too many things fermenting around here GC is gonna kick my butt ... He already thinks the sourdough smell is too much ... but he sure likes the bread! :D I started the 5-year Naturopathy courses at Trinity School of Natural Healing. It's been interesting so far ... I think it will eventuall change the way I herb garden ... I can definitely see me doing my own dried herbs, teas, tinctures and essential oils ... Still want a goat but I guess for right now GC has "won" that "battle" ... But ... never fear ...

Pen is set up for the quail but haven't ordered them yet.

Although we are gonna "refresh" our hens this year, which means there will be some "funerals" coming ... :( And some chicken for the stewpot this winter! :D OK ... who's next ... what do you gals and guys want to get done this year??
