For as popular as the notion of simplicity is, there sure aren't a lot of simple recipes out there! Simple recipes are totally possible, but they aren't getting enough advertising. One of my goals is to add to the wealth of simple and easy recipes that probably exist somewhere. Ironically, simpl...read more

Because we're staying home, on account of COVID-19, we've dipped into our food storage and ground a bunch of grains and some beans. (We're running out of store-bought bread, although we're no strangers to cooking or baking bread.)
So, I'm trying a similar recipe to the experimental one (a re...read more

This might sound crazy at first, but I'm planning to start some glass Gem corn early (like tomatoes) and then transplant it.
I know corn is usually direct-seeded, and that it does well that way, but I have reason to believe it might possibly increase yields in my garden to do it this way, if ...read more

You know how usually people say a flu just infects a few species of animal? Well, birds comprise many orders of families of genera of species of animals, and pretty much every bird I've checked up on is capable of getting this virus. Why? What birds are immune to it? Do reptiles get it?

My mom got a Chabacano nectarine tree, today. I don't know anything much about the breed. So, one moment while I search.
Welp, I found nothing, except that Chabacano is a Spanish word for apricot, and for some other stuff. It's not an apricot tree; so, I'm hoping it's not a Spanish word for n...read more

There are two pneumonia vaccines: Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax. Pneumovax came first (but they recommend being vaccinated with Prevnar 13 first for some reason). Prevnar 13 is more proprietary, and probably more advertized and expensive as a result. The prices of both vaccines have risen a lot since...read more

This thread is just a general grow log for me to keep track of information that doesn't seem best-suited to a more specific forum.
I'm planning to start seeds next week. I have my containers ready (I found some that seem good online; they arrived, today). Yesterday, I got a supply of worm cas...read more

Here's an article about a family who runs a donkey dairy. It talks about how the family believes it cures and/or treats PANDAS:

My guess is that the milk is raw, and that it contains live cells from the donkey, which help to train the immune system...read more

We have borage plants that have been volunteering in the yard already (they've been there for a while now). I didn't know it was so cold hardy.

Adding lemon oil to dish soap makes it so much better, in my opinion—and it makes the soap stay smelling fresher longer. It helps the dishes get squeaky clean, and smell/feel good.
