I’d earmarked this meatloaf roll I’d seen on the Phantom Gourmet a few weeks back, and intended to test it sometime before next Christmas (as it looked, and sounded) good enough to serve then – I mean, c’mon Bacon wrapped meat – not a tough sell, even with spinach inside.
Their recipe, courtesy of McIntosh College, called for 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 Ground pork. Previously on Good Eats I recalled Alton Brown suggesting a 1/3 mix of Beef, pork and Lamb… but still being somew...

1. Ikea Bag
A friend brought me a big blue Ikea bag from a shopping trip in Ontario. I think you can only purchase these at the cash register in the store. This is my #1 garden must have. I have this bag for about four years now and it has held up to gardening torture. I throw it and a shovel in my jeep everywhere I go and it usually comes back heavily filled with plants and soil, often to heavy for me to lift so it is then dragged around the garden. I also use it daily for weed colle...

Seed Journal 2008 Appendix A
While this is not in the position of an appendix, it is one nevertheless. Since it is ready, I am uploading it. I’m including it in this blog series as a matter of course. A blog is basically a journal of activities. This doesn’t have anything to teach per se. But, if I’m going to make an attempt at building a farm/market operation, then it might provide context to other things I put in this series. This is also in a standard document on my own system so that I...

Well I was working on building the deck and I kept saying. Take some pictures. But, it didn’t get done. These pictures are from before putting on the deck surface.
The deck is placed just outside a small deck that goes between the screened porch and the Solarium. We have a spa in the Solarium room.
The deck is basically 16’ X 16’. It’s 14 feet to the beginning of the curved edge. One end is tapered to match the sidewalk that goes around the house.
I’...

The burn pile is at the back (North) of the property.The chicken coop is going to be built in front of it, beside the manure pile (dark brown mound) to your right.
To your right, the long rectangle was the “tomato patch” will become the Dahlia row!
And the garden will be 20’x20’ in front of the coop.
Tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas and beans to name a few!
We are still thinking of using the straw bales, that is if we can find some that are small enough...

This pathway started the first year we moved here. It ever so expanding depending on our needs and the wood that is available at the time.We do not cut the trees for the walkways, but when they are dying due to old age or the wind finishes what the ice storm left behind, then and only then do we cut the cedars. We stack them and use them as needed for fencing or the walkway.It goes all the way around the house to where the garage will be build and has started going towards the forest and the ...

I saw a post earlier asking “where our advice is coming from”. Part of the discussion suggested we list our hardiness zones to help out. A few weeks ago I donated to arborday.org. While on their website, I found a hardiness zone look up. This will work for those of you with US Zipcodes. Those of you outside the US might contact arborday.org request a tool that works for your location.
Keep in mind that these zones are based on your zip code only, so your micro-climate probably ...
