Oxford,
Thanks for your reply, and for info on how you get your garden to grow so well. As for the creosote, it's something I've never learned much about until just recently. As you pointed out; not to worry, death comes to us all, just in different ways.
Back to the garden...if I were near, I'd be glad to trade some of my squirrel removal services for a few of those delicious tomatoes...

Live to shoot...last summer my squirrel removing system was my Wal Mart .177" firing rounds at 1,000 fps. Eight were dispatched of...but the "killing field" was a little bloody.

It's amazing how great shooters think alike...'cause that's the prescription for the squirrel illness I was gonna offer up too.

Chris,
Thanks...and hopefully there'll be enough participation to sustain its presence.
...and, can this thread be moved into that forum too, as a reference to how it got started?

If you have a large garden, two things also work well to preserve the harvest. Some can be frozen, some can be dehydrated. After trying several dehydrators through the years, I recommend the Excalibur.
And if you have eggs that are getting near the end of their expiration date, you can freeze them (contrary to most kitchen myths). Crack them open and dump them into a bowl, stir them a bit as if you were going to make scrambled eggs, and pour into a quart or gallon zip-loc freezer bag. They keep very well frozen in that manner and you don't have to pitch them.

never knew that about eggs, but eggs don't ussually end up going bad around here. I am glad that the forum for gardening is doing well. I am hopeing that there can be some good recipe swapping, and some new ideas on pest control. I wouldlike to grow some fruit trees, I have had apple, plum, pear, cherry, and peach trees in the past. I will not try to grow peaches any more, but would like to grow the other things again. Does anyone have any experiance with paw paw trees? They were native in my area, but I have never seen one. Also does anyone have goose berries?
What about a forum on useing what we grow, such as wine makeing?
