Some of this stuff is hard to find anywhere but Baker Creek, some you can find at many other places.  Re...

I got an email recently that said… I have not had much success the past few years in growing food. I tried Mel Bartholomew’s square foot gardening last year without luck, problems with bugs, too little or too much water not sure. Here’s my plan: 16′ x 3′ raised bed about a 16″ deep in an area that gets sun from around 9 or 10 am through nightfall. I plan to use...

For a few weeks now I have been asking you guys for “life hacks” and my in box was flooded with them.  Today we go over about 100 of the best of them.  Not all were used but many of them were.

A common theme I tend to point out this time of year is that the winter months often come with an abundance of time to do things that simply don’t get done in busier times of the year. As a teen in Pennsylvania I came to fully understand the concept of “cabin fever”.  The spring was full of gardening, trout fishing, chores, etc.  Then summer brought more fishing (bass and catfish...

Okay I am going to try to have fun with my two days of work this week and not be too serious about anything.  Today we are going to talk about some fun foods for Thanksgiving.  I’ll say a little bit about turkey but we have done enough of that over the years, so you can reference this past episode for Keith Snow’s Turkey How To for a standard roasted turkey. I want to focus on some sid...
