Ferd welcome to the forum!

So far this winter has been fairly mild and only one big snowstorm so far so the chickens are very happy. They hate the snow and have no problem telling me so.

I have used the Kratky method for lettuce with great results. I also use Masterblend.

Butter Garlic Shrimp Quick and easy to make 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil 1 LB jumbo shrimp (peeled deveined and tails removed) sea salt and fresh ground black pepper 3 TBSP Butter 6 Cloves of Fresh garlic minced 3 cups of quartered grape tomatoes 6 cups of fresh spinach chopped (or baby spinach whole) 1/2 - 3/4 cup heavy cream 1/3 cup grated Romano cheese 5 basil leaves thinly sliced Over Med High heat olive oil to a shimmer Toss the shrimp in the sea salt and black pepper and sear until golden (about 2 mins) Then flip, cook until opaque and remove from skillet. Reduce heat to Med and add butter.stir until melted and add the garlic. Cook about 1-2 mins or until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and season with a little salt and pepper to taste. When tomatoes skins begin to soften add the spinach and cook until wilted Stir in heavy cream, Romano cheese and basil bring to a simmer Reduce heat to low continue to simmer until sauce is slightly reduced. (About 3-4 mins) Return Shrimp to skillet and cook until the shrimp is heated. OPTION: This is excellent alone or served over pasta and with a nice slice of crusty bread

This is too funny. We apparently are thinking along the same track. I just ordered the Lem Jerky Gun this morning. I always make Jerky using shaved marinated beef or venison but I liked the idea of making jerky out of ground meat so I though I would give it a try. I will order a package of the Jalapeno mix! Thanks ButtaBean.

Took a quick snowshoe jaunt out to check one of the cameras

Yikes! I hope the weather guessers are wrong. Woke up to 21F Our weather guessers are saying we may get into the mid 40's accompanied with rain most of the day.

-2F when I got up morning but now we are up to +6F and sunny

I also hope they catch ALL and PROSECUTE every last one of the arsonists that are responsible for this nightmare. I pray you, your friends and family all are safe.

Looking good! I will be starting mine in a couple of weeks!

Very impressive! You have grown some very healthy productive plants!

I am curious . Seeing both of these pizza brings up a question: When you make pizza do you put the topping BELOW or on TOP of the cheese? I put most toppings BELOW the cheese . The exception of this rule for me is Pepperoni That pizza I put it on top of the cheese

Steven!
