Yeah, just been busy.
I have a raccoon I've been trying to catch and it's winning! First it knocked over one bird feeder on a shepards hook and bent the shit out of the other one. I had set up a tube type trap where they have to actually put their paw in it to set it off. And a live trap. Tried marshmellows in both and he took the marshmellow out of the hand trap and it didn't get set off. So I bought some canned cat food and smeared it on the trigger and set it for a hair trigger and put the rest of the can in the live trap. So hopefully tonight is the night! |

My sister-in-law told me this morning that raccoons ruined all of their corn plants. They didn't have a lot planted, but they have none now. They haven't bothered anything else yet, but I bet they will. If they weren't so cute they would be shot on sight, LOL.

They would climb and break every stalk then take one bite out of every ear, never ate a whole one. Ruined a quarter acre field of corn in just a few nights that was just days away from harvest, now if I want corn I go buy a few ears and let someone else deal with raccoon problems. |

We tried corn a couple of years and coons waited til it was just about ready and did the same deal. Every plant was either broke off or laid over and they had stripped all the corn. I think my highly trained attack canines (not) were actually telling them when it was all ready for them and kept a lookout while they raided the corn patch.

Nice. We have a bunch around here lately, and I'm trying to get them. One momma has four young ones with her, and I still hope to catch her. I got one of the young ones, and I figure that if momma is in the trap, the other young ones will hang around and be easier to pick off.

Ground up tomatoes to can tomato sauce. I'm heading out of town today, so I plan to make sauce next week. I have 5 gallons of sauce in the freezer now, plus I have roughly enough more tomatoes to grind today to make another 2 gallons. After I cook that down it will not be so much to can, but still a lot.
And I have a lot of green tomatoes out there in the garden. This year roma, cherry, and yellow tomatoes came in like gang busters! The better boy and cherokee purple didn't do so well. I probably will not try them again. I'm hoping the watermelons are ripe next week. I'd like to put up more pickled rind. It's awesome on oatmeal for breakfast and over ice cream for dessert. I also have a few more gallons of bell peppers to put in the freezer. |

Yeah, was happy to get it, even though it kinda ruined some of my trenches that I hadn't yet got my tubing down in. One of the peach trees got uprooted a little so I righted it and staked it out for support until the ground dries out and stabilizes it again. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 67Firebird: I wonder what that would cost. I imagine it'd be pretty expensive. You could always just sew a raccoon tail onto the back of a ballcap. The raccoon population may look a little funny running around without tails though. ETA: On the slightly more serious side of things, I have been harvesting a lot of carrots in the past week or two. I'm surprised, I really didn't take care of them right. No thinning out or anything, although I did try to keep the weeds pulled for the most part. There are a lot of tomatoes also, but the &$^* bugs are getting too many of them. Oh well, they just get given away anyhow. Same with an apple tree out in the yard, lots of apples but lots of other things eating them, also. |

I'm glad to read some of ya'll's gardens are producing well this year.
Mine is a disaster - and I don't know why! It's not large; just over 1000 sq', but we rotate everything and, this year, added a boatload of new soil, too (70 % topsoil w/30% mushroom mulch). Usually, that makes for a bumper crop, but only the weeds look happy! Lots'a "volunteer" tomatoes, but none are producing - not the seeds started inside, nor even the ones we got at the nursery. Granted, it's been HOT, but we've got soaker hoses buried throughout the garden plots. What a strange year - and we're praying S doesn't HTF because we've gotten shit this year!  One good thing is most of the bee colonies are doing well, although, we did lose one. We've harvested over 50# of honey this year and I expect that figure to double. |

Cooking down tomatoes into sauce right now. I will end up with roughly 2.5 -3 gallons of sauce to can up.
I went and gathered all of the green tomatoes to chop into my great-grandmother's mustard relish recipe this weekend. That will also use up the rest of the bell peppers. I have a bushel of peaches (admittedly purchased) to make into pickled peaches, peach butter, and peach preserves tomorrow and Thursday. I can probably make one more jar of pickles. There are 4 watermelons in the garden left to finish ripening. I have a lot of basil left to make into pesto. However, my garden has wound down. I'm nearly ready to plow it under and plant a winter garden. |

Mamie Cooper's Mustard Pickle
Vegetables: 3qts cabbage (uncut) 3qts small onions (uncut) 3qts red bell pepper (uncut) 3qts green bell pepper (uncut) 3qts green tomatoes (uncut) 1 large bunch celery Cut fine and let stand in brine 24 hours. Drain, scald and drain again. Dressing: 2qts vinegar 3lbs sugar 3tbs tumeric 9tbs dry mustard 3/4 cup flour Mix sugar, flour, tumeric, and mustard together. Add vinegar and vegetables. Let come to a boil. Seal hot. Notes: That recipe is an exact transcription with all of the instructions. I had to wing it a bit. I used 3 pounds instead of quarts of the measured vegetables. That's roughly half of the volumetric measurements in the original recipe. I was lazy and ran all of the vegetables through the food processor on the slicing blade. My brine was 1/4 cup pickling salt to a gallon of hot water. To scald the vegetables, I poured boiling water out of my 1 gallon electric kettle over the vegetables. Since my vegetables were roughly halved from the original recipe, I made half of the dressing. I packed the hot finished pickle in hot pint jars, then processed in a water bath for 10 minutes. My final result was 14.5 pints canned. My father uses a similar recipe, but he makes it with all Vidalia onions. It's basically the same dressing over shredded onions, processed and packed in the same manner. He's always made it that way, and it's all I ever knew growing up. The attempt I made at the original recipe is the first time anyone in my family has made it in over 50 years. |

Y'all I apologize that I am mostly missing.
 Other mods are watching over our forum, but I am AWOL due to drama and lots of things happening in real life. Prayers are welcome, but...I listen to spotify and watch youtube to stay sane, and I ran across this channel. Y'all, this woman should be on EVERYONE'S FEED. In the past, I have been sort of worried about sharing how my mom canned, cuz....it's not how the latest "canning for safety" rules work. And I have looked at those rules and kinda screwed up my face a little and thought, "that's gonna suck all the nutrition out of the food." So... This woman was old-order Amish (horse and buggy) Mennonite. She cans the way my mom canned! (Not Amish/Mennonite. My mom just grew up in the Great Depression ..(she was born in 1927)...and she taught me to can...nobody ever got sick in the neighborhood where I grew up. And when this woman talks about canning, this is how I learned to can, so I think it might be relevant to some of you. Because it works for preserving food, but it doesn't destroy the food/nutrients in the process. I ain't sayin our dot (don't mind the characters in the middle...cuz bots hopefully will look away) Gov wants us to be weak and malnourished, but... yeah, that's what I think. Anyway....This chick now has a channel where she shares their way of life, and honestly, this is what the homesteading channels WANT TO BE. Some of y'all may know about her already, but I'm gonna post it here. I miss all of you and hope to be back here every day soon. Homesteading with the Zimmermans |

Thinking about putting a pole barn up in this general area. Might have one side butt right up to the chicken fence, not sure yet. I wish I had the sun and open spaces you do! |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Former11BRAVO: I wish I had the sun and open spaces you do! Oh... its nice in ways. I got a few things done this summer because it just could not wait (irrigation for the fruit trees) but it was just absolutely brutal this year. Normally we get maybe a week of highs in the 100s. This year we had like almost 4 months of 104/105 weather. And not dry, either. Highs in the mid to low 90s right now feels like relief. I've got just enough space here with just few enough neighbors I can safely dove hunt. Sadly, too much around me to set up a stand for hogs or deer. |
