I started my own small business a couple years back but have been in the field for about 15yrs. I am a mason by trade and recently have started to do more creative projects on the side regarding stone carvings. I hope to one day take my business into this more creative aspect but that will come...

I thought this may be a good thread to (re)start for the community regarding all that is creative. If you are an artist, a craftsman, like to 'up-cycle', are into design, a writer, or create larger-unique projects then this may be a good thread for you to participate in or follow… Hopefully...

I have been thinking about pulling the trigger on some of the dwarf fruit trees from the following link. https://www.starkbros.com/products/fruit-trees More specifically the "DWARF" varieties suitable for my area. I would like to get a couple different fruits established. I have done a lot of...

I remember as a kid, my father would save the seeds from his heirloom crops. When I got older and had my own garden(s), I never saved them. It always seemed like a lot of effort, but I may try and give it a go this year? You know, it's funny… I saw many more squirrels living in the city limits...

This thread may be fun to 'bump' since it's been some time? Perhaps the newer members would like to review and/or contribute. Cheers...

Thanks! It is a lot of work, but I really enjoy the constant expansion and trail & errors. I typically like to start my seeds indoors. Some plants that need a little longer in the seedling stage before transplanting I buy as starters from the local farms. However, the space I am currently living...

It took me an entire year to get the Rosemary Olive Oil recipe down to memory and accurate consistency. Some batches were better than others and was a little rough at the start. It took many attempts on how long to mix the dough before letting it rise….how much kneading was necessary before...

A lot has changed since this thread started….including a number of 'moves'. However, I have been busy with the home front and thought I would revive this thread and do some updates with pictures of my current garden (if I can remember how to upload them). For now I will just give you a run down...
