Pamela Paasche OHearn replied to Joy Williams's discussion 'One of my chickens isn't laying' in the group The Pecking Order

you never do find the hiding spot until there are gazillions hidden! I know there's a new one at my place, darned if I can find it. busted them on the last 3.

what are they eating? (too much protein?)

Pamela Paasche OHearn commented on Chris Bocchino's group 'Wild Edible Hunters'

we're doing some wild (elderberry) and some 'feral' (lots of abandoned apple trees and plum trees begging to be picked) now. We'll do elderberry wine this weekend.

Penelope replied to Pamela Paasche OHearn's discussion 'Looking for help adjusting to gardening in Idaho...'

We gathered eggs after dark in the wintertime when we'd been gone for the day and got home late -- otherwise they would freeze and break. Skunks often hide out under people's houses/porches. Putting a bright light in these areas will encourage th...

Glenn Fletcher replied to Pamela Paasche OHearn's discussion 'I have plum seedlings, need help dealing with them' in the group Orchards

Hi Joel Thanks for the compliment, but i am as far away from a pro as you are likely to get. I basically come from the 'Bodgit & Scarper' school of gardening. I,ve not tried budding so i can't really help you there. I have done what i call simple ...

David Brownlee replied to Pamela Paasche OHearn's discussion 'Looking for help adjusting to gardening in Idaho...'

Yeah P - I had the advantage of just being out there for the weekend. I really wouldn't want them around my house. As far as the rabies and BB plague things go...being in the employ of the CDC I see the stats....both are really rare. Wear over-an...

Pamela Paasche OHearn replied to Pamela Paasche OHearn's discussion 'I have plum seedlings, need help dealing with them' in the group Orchards

oohh, me too. there are a lot of great 'feral' fruit trees around me, that I'd love to bring home but don't know how.

Glenn Fletcher replied to Pamela Paasche OHearn's discussion 'I have plum seedlings, need help dealing with them' in the group Orchards

What you suggest sounds good. They should put on enough growth next year to plant them in the final position in the autumn.

Pamela Paasche OHearn replied to Pamela Paasche OHearn's discussion 'I have plum seedlings, need help dealing with them' in the group Orchards

should I plant the outside ones or keep them in pots? I was just thinking, on the south side of our house, we have a foundation poured for the eventual greenhouse. that would offer some protection, up against the house, sunk down a little, and the...

Glenn Fletcher replied to Pamela Paasche OHearn's discussion 'I have plum seedlings, need help dealing with them' in the group Orchards

Divide & conquer. I would put half outside in the lee of your house and keep the other half inside as insurance. Plums are quite hardy so they should be OK, and the heat from the house will raise the temperature. If they do grow well and you have ...

Pamela Paasche OHearn replied to Katherine Turcotte's discussion 'Looking for a Pickle Recipe Using Regular Vs Pickling Cucumbers' in the group Preserving the Harvest

I have used regular cukes in my bread & butter pickles, sliced into chips, and also chunked. I think I like chunks better with those, (I've done cauliflower, too, which is killer!). the recipe I use is from recipezaar: http://www.recipezaar.com/Cr...

Pamela Paasche OHearn replied to JC's discussion 'Freezing eggs for later use.' in the group The Pecking Order

I've used the ice cube tray thing, and I liked it because 1 cube = 1 egg, for baking. that said, my hens never stopped laying last winter, and so I will probably not do it this time around. eggs in the fridge last a long time. (also, I have found ...

Barry replied to Pamela Paasche OHearn's discussion 'Farmer's markets/ farm stands on the cape (near Mashpee)?' in the group Cape Cod and Islands

On the front page of the Mashpee Enterprise today is an article about a new farmers market on the Mashpee Village Green, which I believe is across from the new library. According to the article there is one vendor (so far), Hawk's Wing Farm. Quoti...

Tamra replied to Pamela Paasche OHearn's discussion 'I have plum seedlings, need help dealing with them' in the group Orchards

If plums grow in your area, and you plan on raising them outside. I would plant them soon. Otherwise they will be confused by a year with no winter.

I have plum seedlings, need help dealing with them

Hi everyone! This spring I had a bunch of plum stones sprout in my garden from plums we picked last year. I decided to let them grow, and planted them in pots and brought them in. I plan on planting them in the yard, it doesn't matter how well the...

Thanks for joining in on the discussion and welcome to Kitchen Gardeners!

What do you think of the idea of me putting up a professionally installed 4' high fence? They said they'd put it 6" under the ground. Or will the critters just climb up over it?

Thanks again!

100-mile diet

Has anyone else considered living by a 100-mile diet (only eating foods grown/raised within 100 miles of your house)? I just listened to a really amazing podcast on a couple from Vancouver, BC who did it for a year and am inspired to try it myself...

Glenn Fletcher commented on Dr. D K Sadana's group 'Roof-top Kitchen Gardners'

I think one major thing to consider when gardening on your flat roof top or balcony, is the weight of the pots/compost and the strength of the structure you are placing them on.
