When to harvest shallots?

.... Hell, Snag, we raised two kids to teenage in a 1450 square foot house. Somehow, after the kids grew up and moved on, we seemed to need larger houses. We've been from 1900 to 2200 square feet, current house is 1960 and seems small. Or is that all the stuff my artist wife stashes around here. Not to mention my tool and lumber collection.G does that include the garage space? we're at about 1100sq ft here, not counting the garage. it works for us as we are both compatible enough. i'm sure some others would feel it isn't enough space. could use more storage space or better access to the crawl space (where we could have a pantry and/or root cellar). the main part is hexagon shape so some spots are odd angled. the main bath isn't even used and we should convert that space into storage + a shower. eventually i hope i can do some heat harvesting from the sun and use that to give us hot water and a boost for the winter days when we have some sun... songbird |

Had a hot spring and a cold spring up hill. Uncle Jess, back in the twenties, piped each to his kitchen and bathroom. Free hot and cold running water. He also piped the hot spring through copper tubing in all the rooms of the house and put a fan on them. Heat during the winter plus the multiple fireplaces. We visited that house when I was about fourteen, I was fascinated by all the neat stuff he had done on his own. He dropped out of school at fourteen and went off to the Colorado gold mines, later on he was a carpenter for one of the movie studio's in California, plus he gold mined in Colorado during the Great Depression and he and his family lived in the mine. I learned a lot from him, particularly, not to drive in an arroyo when you see rain on the mountain. He showed me that when we got out of one and watched the flood go through. Great adventures with Uncle Jess. I've never had to build my own home, have built barns, rabbitries, chicken houses, pig pens, you name it. Some were pretty good, a few just fell over. G Picked a nice mess of crowder peas this morning, shucked and in the fridge. Container is almost full and then all will be frozen and vacuum bagged for later. Had bison hamburgers last night with french fries, and crowder peas, pretty good eats. Bought the bison at the local Kroger store for kicks. George |
