Watering wands, any of ya'll know of a heavy duty long lasting one ? This one here is about 2-3 months old and dribbles far worse than I do. Yes I need to burn the fray.

Does anyone know where I can buy canned, or frozen, polk greens? Allen Canning Co. in Siloum Springs used to can this, but quiit a few years ago.

Allen Canning Co. last batch was a little more than a few years ago. I'm pretty sure it was April or May of 2000 they quit canning them. I haven't found a replacement for them though I quit actively looking many years ago.

So hack #1 of wrapping green maters for storage worked like a charm and took us into Feb.
Hack #2 is water glassing avacodos , water only no pickling lime. This avacodo is better than 2 weeks old. The consistency of it was a bit moister naturally but the flavor was all there. On the counter it would have been compost some time ago. Submerged in water and kept in the fridge.

I ordered a couple grafted avocado trees to grow in my greenhouse and some dwarf banana plants.

Cool. How does it compare to keeping one in the fridge without water for a couple weeks?

Just curious.

Time flies at my age, I can't spell but I am persistant, and don't give up easy. I guess I wil have to get out and gather some, the exrise wouldn't hurt me anyway. thanks.

Post up, lets hear some homesteader chatter and see pics. ANY thing goes as a homesteader. You city slickers can participate too if ya got something growing on.. Hehe.
Home grown miniature beef, sirloin cut 1.25" thick, 5 minutes each side on the grill and it still had some kick to it. lol.
Nothing but salt and pepper oh so good and enough left I'll get a steak sammich.

While at the Hinton drag races I heard chicks for layers and chicks for meat production were selling at the Eric Chicken Auction for $30 and $50 per head. Is this about right?
