Ya know, that was the first thing I thought of. Shudder!
Thank you for the recipe. We’ll try it soon. I love both cornbeef and pastrami.
Ok, that does it. Y’all are determined to give me nightmares!!! Now I’m not even wanting to put my feet on the floor under the computer. I was extra careful this morning out pulling weeds in the garden. I scouted it out before I even went inside the fence and thankful the grass had just been cut. I’m a barefooter but actually wore flip flops out onto the porch which even that far in shoes goes to show how nervous I am.
If pastrami turns out good please PM me and let me know that way or if you post it on the weekly gardening thread. It’s a real test of skills, in my book at least. With these pickled (brined) products. What really goes great with it is pickled green tomatoes and Dr Brown’s Cel-Ray soda. Two Jewish items you will find at good Jewish delicatessens. When you hit the big city you can try and find the Cel-Ray
Pattypan squash! Have not eaten one in years. They have such a great look
Thanks for the animal repellent. Last summer a racoon was in our little garden so we put out a live trap. We got him. As hubby and friend were about to remove the trap, the racoon reached out and got itself a squash, he ate it as he was being put in the truck to be placed elsewhere.
Free roaming chickens and guinnies.
I was told by a friend from Louisiana to put anything with sharp points around my patio enterence. Snakes don’t like to slide over sharp things. I have hubby and he takes care of any snakes. Where I come from we don’t have snakes, and the first ones I ever saw were in FL. ICK!
Speaking of tumbleweed. We were stationed in FL and one Christmas a friend of ours brought back tumbleweed for what reason, who knows? My neighbor and I stuck them together, then sprayed the bushes with glue, made an 8 foot tree and stuck lights inside (that was the hard part) and placed it on a bed or sword palm leaves. It looked pretty good day and night.
YUCK!
Is that a chicken snake?
Yes ma’am.
Triple ICK!
Maybe lilacs just need to be younger to form more flowers. I should try some cuttings, and then drastically cut back the old one if the young ones 'take'. Hmm.
I've used paper egg cartons for seeding this year, but they are not very deep, and I will have to re-pot everything soon.
The good news is that I have had less trouble with “damping-off” this year, and since I can't buy the antidote here in Ontario, (Liberal Gov.), I'm happy it doesn't seem to be happening.
My plants are much smaller than the stuff showing up at the garden centers, but I'm sure they'll catch up in a month.
Great way to put it, Drill Thrawl. (post 116)
LOL, samiam1972 !
You could use it as a science project for your kids. It might be fun for them!
A couple of weeks ago you asked a question about growing potatoes in five gallon buckets. I have been looking for a post by one time FReeper and Master Gardener HiramQuick the link below is a post he made to the thread back in May 2009. It is an excellent tutorial. Sorry for the late response to your post but it took me quite some time searching through years of the gardening threads.

You’re awesome. I remembered that someone had posting good information, but couldn’t remember who or even approximately when.
Posting this here and on the cooking thread. Has anyone made an earth (cob) oven? We are going to be making one by our patio and I thought it might be a good idea to get suggestions and advice from those who have done this before we begin. THANKS.
I knew who had posted the info but could not remember when it was posted. I now have that specific post bookmarked :)
Got it! Thank you very much!
I wish I had done what is being done on the cooking thread when the thread first started. libertarian27 is cataloging every recipe posted into categories. I made an attempt about a year two into the thread but it turned out to be a Mountain of a chore and I let it slide. There is so much good stuff in all these new and older threads.
