I think you nailed it Carla. Sure looks like it. Humphrey lives in the Tennessee mountains so maybe it hitchhiked from somewhere west. I hope it didn't forget it's towel.

Have you met Humphrey?

New Year. Old songs. All from TX. Y'all.



 

I moved around a few times over the last 10 years. Each time I checked the local ag department & the ag store owners to see what had the best chance. Also talked to gardeners who had been growing in that area for a long time to see what works for them. Then about 90% of what I plant is based on those recommendations & 10% for something new I want to try just in case it does work. I am fortunate enough to be able to garden year round so if something doesn't work there is something else ready to take it's place. No wasted time or space that way. I am back in my home territory now so here I know very well what will work & what probably won't.

Mine is the medium sized one. The stainless steel version. It holds 1/2 gallon if overfilled slightly more than it should be. I can't send a video because I'm not going to make a youtube or vimeo account.

This one is particularly cool (and hot!).

Douglas is right ... this thing will blister instantly if you're not careful ... wear gloves when lifting it up. One hand on the handle & the other on the bottom of the chain that keeps the stopper from disappearing.

Mine boils water in about 4 minutes. The trick is to use the right tinder to get that beast flaming fast & hot.

You can't cook in them but you can cook ON them. They now have some nice accessories that allows that. I think they might be new since this thread first posted. Here it is ... Kelly Kettle info.

One thing I've seen in pathways but not in a garden is tumbled glass. I always thought that would be fun if it was contained in the walkway but kept out of the garden soil.

LOL  I was going to post it but got busy. Now that it has been bumped I'll just listen. Wouldn't be a proper Thanksgiving with out this song.
