Living a more self sufficient life by gardening, canning, hunting etc. Also enjoying growing giant pumpkins and other rare fruits and vegetables!! Come along for the adventures with us as we learn new things and hopefully teach you some stuff along the way! All of this for now will be done on 1 acre of property, who says you need a ton of land to live a self sufficient life for you and your family??

    Nice small mouths, guys! They're a bit harder to find around here. Our pond has lots of large mouths and horned pout, but no small mouths. I wish we had some of them and some rainbow trout, but the water temp is a bit too warm for them. We do have a few nice calico in there, though! Leeches are excellent bait, but we've always been big fans of using night crawlers. It's always been our live bait of choice. Everything will eat them! ;)

    This looks and sounds amazing. I’m curious if it a jam or jelly as it is made with fruit juice (watermelon) but has some chunks from the rhubarb. Also, is this one of those approved recipes or not as you added the rhubarb? I can’t wait to try it.

  • @heavenlyhillshomestead9465

    I would say it’s jam because I didn’t remove the pulp from the watermelon and the chunks of rhubarb was left in it. I can’t find any recipe on this specific combo so I’m not sure about approved. What I did is look at how both was canned by themselves and there was no real difference that I could find so I just used the recipe for the watermelon 😊

    They come on usually before I get any regular blooms on my giant plants and then they get the regular ones after I get mega blooms. I will keep all the regular blooms off it until I get a mega bloom to go, they also produce mega blooms on the suckers.

    The variety of the plant helps but I feed heavy phosphorus and potassium to achieve good sized mega blooms then I will only allow one tomato per plant. It also helps to keep all the suckers trimmed off the plant too but that can make you miss a mega bloom if your first one on the main truss didn’t set.

    Sorry just seeing this comment, sometimes for some reason people are having trouble resetting them even when they do exactly like I’ve shown them. I’m not sure why that is but it’s been probably 10 people out of several thousand that have had this issue, I’ve tried to help all of them to reset it via email and they don’t have any luck so I then tell them to contact the company and they’ve either received new tops in place of the old one or the company was able to tell them to do something that I don’t know about to reset it. I think the reason is because some models though the same in appearances have been changed a little internally so to reset them is a little different then mine and the company knows which way to do it. 😊 I don’t mind helping you but thought I’d tell you what I’ve experienced so you can skip a step if you’d like!! Hope this helps!!😊😊
