Biography
Joy discovered Permaculture in 2015. Thanks, Paul! And suddenly the vast expanse of grass began to shrink. Her hubby is appreciative, as mowing is not fun for her guy.
Joy is designing her permaculture paradise from the edges. Fumbling and stumbling all the way. She successfully grows weeds and a few fruits and veggies in the humid Mid-south.

Hunny went yard saleing without me. He bought stuff without asking….. Sigh.

THREE SEWING MACHINES FOR $20!!!

What a hero!

I don't have time to indulge your picture taxes. I'll be busy sewing!

So. One does work. Sort of.

The one that sort of works, is a Singer 774
The interwebs tell me it uses a metal class 66 bobbin. One came with the machine. Will plastic class 66 bobbins work?

Oh, the others appear to move freely when turned by hand. They are missing power cords. A Singer 9410. And A PFAFF 1040. I really hope the PFAFF model has all metal interior.

Update...

We did have to replace a section of pipe, so we installed the magic fenco Tee, and an additional off brand coupling. Nothing is leaking.

Hurrah! Thank you wonderful Permies!

I haven't tried any of these, but they look simple enough.

The roses are pretty, and petals and hips are yummy. I also like drying the wild rose petals for use in historical crafts (super handy for making 17-18th century soap balls!)



Alright Nicole, where is your thread about those?

Tomatoes are tough. One year, I bought a 6 pack of plants. I put them in a safe with sunlight spot. Far from my daily path. Several times, I found them limp and prostrate on the surface for lack of water. Ahem.

They recovered and produced well.

Years ago I tried it. Failure. I read somewhere that indeterminate potatoes would work. I had planned to eventually try again once I'd located some indeterminate potatoes..... Not high on my to do list novel.

Cultivariable says indeterminate potatoes do NOT work. Sigh of relief. I'm not missing out. Something to cross off my extensive list.
A few years back we were given a lot of dried cobs, from folk who couldn't figure out how to remove it from the cob.

I felt a bit guilty when I discovered all that was needed was to rub 2 cobs together. The kernals fell off pretty easy. And my wrists are not very strong. So easy means easy.
