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...

Nashkicker said he has to go to a wedding that day….but we will keep his ticket just in case he finds his balls before then. ;) Looking forward to another fantastic year! Thanks Charlie for being you.

@ Whylieineedacigar Newbie Gardener eh? Well, Congratulations on the new endeavor! I agree with you, as would most, that the food you grow as compared to the produce(if you can call it that) you buy from the markets is far more superior in both taste & nutritional value. It's funny you...

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...

I have pretty much mastered a few recipes. I started with JHolmes' 'Rosemary Olive Oil' bread and tried a few others, but I kept going back to the Rosemary bread. It is fantastic!! I tweaked mine over time and found out that adding (1) egg as well as 1/2cup of bread flour right into the mix...

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Awesome! Thanks so much for the links and recipes. We are currently in the process of getting another 14" -20" of snow today into tomorrow….So I am about to try some more dough/bread! I am still trying to figure out the picture thing from my phone to share with you, however - the first bread...

With a miserably cold, and snowy day - I figured today would be a good day to start practicing. My girlfriend put together stew this morning into the crockpot, I just left my neighbors homestead where I milked his cows and chatted while making butter. So now it is time to roll up the sleeves...

I agree. One of my favorite things to do is cook, although I always don't have the time for it. I too enjoy cooking with the little one. She will be 11 soon, but always enjoys the process of making pizzas. She really enjoys the rolling of the dough, so I am thinking breads may be a new favorite...
