Welcome to the Wild-About-Trapping.com Forums

Today we got our first garden produce of the year for our enjoyment.



Had a Fresh tomato sandwich with way toooooooooo much fresh onion for lunch


The rest turned into this with the addition of a steak from the lads carcass class winning steer.[flipping kids ate all the peas]


We also picked enough Saskatoons to make


So I ate a small piece.


Don't ever expect me to apologize for being poor and only eating what we can for little money as I won't. [/quote]

Looks good enough to eat !!

TT that is a millionaires meal. That pie looks yummy. You are living the life my friend. you reep what you sow and you will never get skinny. Like me

Good looking eats TT. I'd have had to decide whether to eat the steak or pie first.

That pie looks delicious but meat first then dessert.

Good choice for a youngster like you Wolf, but when you get my age you don't even buy green bananas. Go with the sweets first!

Yesterday Morning the wife said a lady was over and saw her old chicken plucking table and wanted it. I paid $5 for this table 4-6 years ago and seeing as I don't particularly like this lady's husband, I said $250. Last night I got home to a note about a moving out garage sale that started at 2pm today. She said,"Go get me a table cause the dumb [female dog] agreed to the $250. So I went up North 30 miles to the garage sale and being there at 1pm meant I was first in line. Did a quick run through and then bought

2 tater forks, shovel, chipper and hoe for $5 but I sold one fork at a football game for $10 before the pic.


Box of toys I will trade the toys to the huts for pies $5.


All the tools she had for $5


Sewing basket thingy. $5 DIL will take what she wants.


2 pieces of pottery I have no idea why but she said they belonged to her mother $1.


A 1986 coke tray, english made muffin type pan, clock for the dang kid who can't hear his, cast fry pan for mushrooms and a book I will read. $2.50


I also got an old dresser/wash stand with mirror for $25, an old office wooden chair$10, and a cheap chest of drawers[real wood]$5 that I ain't got pics of cause I gotta go back and get them. She had a few more items but I'll let her come down more in price on a 15 gallon crock and a singer sewing machine in the old wooden cabinet.

I don't know how you always manage to find these great deals at yard sales! I went out and everyone wanted flipping near retail price for they're junk

Trust me lad, I run into lot's of those too. This one was a lady who had lost her husband a couple years ago but found a new man. She was wanting it all gone so she could move quick before he wised up.LOL

Well I guess I gotta find one of those then

I found auctions were a better place to find stuff cheap. As long as your paying attention and don't get ripped off
I bought some tire chains at an auction for $3 and sold them for $10.
I bought a box of records for $8, and sold one record out of it for $10. Still have the rest
And, I bought 2 boxes of books for $10, and turned them in at a used book store for $50 or so worth of store credit


Buying stuff from yard sales to resell, or really even to keep, I never get that lucky. I did get a bag of shavings for my pet hamster and guinea pig for $2. Usually about $20 in the pet store. Other than that, I pretty well got squat at a yard sale, other than a box of free electronics

Today I got done spraying by 2pm so the wife and I got to thinking we should pick some Chokecherries for syrup and Jelly. [It got down to 23F here last night which makes these things sweeter but finish's them in a couple days]
15 minutes of picking later.


She then got them in her juicer.



How much shrink there was.


Between 2 and 3 quarts of the worlds best juice.


Then as I plan on leaving one kid home to look after a little spraying and haying while the other and I go fishing for a few days, I went out and dug a hill of spuds for the trip.


That plan only half worked as it takes a fair sized man and boy to eat

Looks good Trap.

I've been enjoying nature's bounty too. Chinkapins, chestnuts ( biggest I've ever seen ) . Apples , apple cider .

Couple evenings ago my neighbor asked if I wanted the last of his cabbage. From a distance it didn't look too good but I hate to see anything go to waste. Went over this evening and pulled 4 heads. Had to make 2 trips to carry it to the truck. Biggest heads of cabbage I ever saw. Took just 1 1/2 heads to fill a canner.

1 leaf of cabbage would last me a year.

One thing about cabbage, when you eat it you have everyone's attention a little why'll later.

Wife picked some carrots today and I'll be danged if some of them roots didn't grow too.[squares are 3 inch's]

1lb 9 ozs

I kind of forgot to thin our carrots I think we're going to try making dill carrots with them. Mom's already been making dill beans, salt beans, salsa and mustard pickles with the stuff from the garden she's still going to make pickled beets and I think dill pickles too! I love this time of year

Yep LHB this is the season of good grits. Dill carrots are great.

This helps with living poor.

I picked most all of our beets a few days ago, and Mum made pickled beets with them. We're gonna eat good this winter!
