If you can't eat em, grind the beans for the critters.  Or give the twenty or so pounds to someone that has pigs and or chickens, they can grind the beans for their animals.

PS - have you checked to see if these beans will spout???

The only thing I've not seen posted is the addition of creek sand to the carrot growing beds.  I also would place the seeds as thin as possible and use the edge of the board to lightly press in the tiny seeds into contact with the soil.  Water well and then cover with the rough cut board and wait!!!  Some years it would take weeks for any to appear.

I did not save seed from the carrots, I bought fresh seed for each year, Danvers or Nantes and from bio-dynamic growers.  And always had fair to good results, except for the spacing thing.  Some years here in zone 7 we did not pull our carrots, just covered them with leaves and straw for the winter.

I hope you will keep trying, as there is nothing in the stores like home grown carrots!!!

I would try both.  Trim the root ball back by no more than a third and replant into a larger pot and use a new support.  I've rooted Monstera in the past and they tend to do well for me.  I can't see any "air"roots along the stem, if there are any you have hit the jackpot, those sections of the stem will root in water very fast.  Take a cutting that has at least one node and leaf on the stem and you will have a good chance of rooting another plant.

Anne, this sounds like something that I might use.  Cooking for one I need something smaller than most would consider using.  My only question is about the clean up, easy? somewhat hard? real pain in the major point of contact???

Your chicken dish did sound very good!

OK Chris, I've gotta ask - what in the name of blue blazing peaches is a "peep"  I think I remember some sponge-like candy stuff we would place in our girls Easter baskets long ago.  Other than that I have no idea.

I'm mostly just kidding, just hoping to make a few people smile on this overcast day.

Best of luck to you in your search.

I gain a small handful of charcoal for my bio tub each morning, when cleaning out the Liberator stove.  I have not yet built any kind of mass along the sides to store any heat but I do close the two air 4 inch intakes once it reaches the coal stage.

90% funded, yeah I think the 24 hour or less will end up being a sure thing!!

Hey Paul, it may be the name thingy with my email vs Permies name, I hope that all it is.  I'm almost kinda sure I made a $100 pledge.  I only bashed my forehead twice on the case opening while setting up the ks account, I'm back on two blood thinners now, so I got a bit of a mess to clean up.

Check with my email name in the first 5 or 6 folks to pledge.  They said I would get an email notice about charging my card upon the end of the starter.

Peace

OK Wheaton, made my pledge, think I was #4, old fingers, poor typing skills but in my heart  I was the first.

Peace

I'm in, got up at 4:30 am so I would be one of the first!
