Gina, another use for your garlic scapes is to puree them, then blend them with butter to your preferred consistency, press into a thin layer (1/4 inch) in a parchment paper lined pan, slice into small squares and freeze. This garlic butter can be used in any cooking, or garlic bread, etc.

Another thought…… contact Charlie from Not Thursday on UKposts. He does metal detecting in New Hampshire. I think he is south of Keene. Ask him about the bottles. He’s very knowledgeable about settlement patterns too and the history of each time period. He’s a walking encyclopedia. Perhaps he would be interested in doing a collab with you.

You said that your local gas company doesn't have off road diesel, but can you contact a farmers dealer near the off grid property that can deliver some for you and purchase a tank to store it in?

Your before and after shots of the container cabin yard made me think of all the before and after shots you are probably going to be doing of the main pasture and house area. I bet it would be helpful to set aside maybe a staked point or points to take the before and after shots up there from, so they will be all from the exact same perspective. Can't wait to see all the progress you make this season and in seasons to come. I really miss the daily vids, but these 30 minute double day vids make up for it.

I think you should put a rock wall around your patio/fire pit seating area.

@StoneKathryn 2 роки тому

Some have suggested to use the big rocks as a wall to hold in a gravel leveled off area off the back of the contained as a picnic area and have a fire pit in the middle area. I think that would look cool. It would drain well and the fire pit would be isolated from any plant material. It would be raised so stepping down to the area from the cabin would be easier. I have no idea what they will do. Using those huge rocks around the picnic area would be great whatever they decide.

If I may suggest some ideas for the cabin, what about taking large boulders outlining a patio area out the sliding doors, filling that in and maybe pavers or just packed gravel for a sitting area with the firepit or stone fireplace on the outer edge. Do a covered patio over about 2/3 rds of that, but not out to the firepit or fireplace. The covered patio will allow more usage during winter also. If you do the the boulders be sure and make steps in a couple areas. It's looking great.
