Coffee anyone ?

[Skiesblue]

Morning all. Iced coffee with a bit of brown sugar today. Caught a daddy mouse in the pantry, expecting mom and the kids this eeek. An aye-firmative on hawk hunting chickens, a Cooper’s I think. Anyone know about Jerusalem artichokes?im thinking of doing containers to prevent tuber spread but will the seeds be a problem? Are they worth planting or are they a Euell Gibbons deal- you can eat them but do you want to? I found two black walnut trees. Not much produced but maybe next year.

Who remembers Euell?

I remember him. He was thought somewhat radical by some, loved by others. Nothing's changed can't please them all.

We have Jerusalem Artichokes, also called Sunchokes. Yep unless you want them taking over your yard you need to corral those plants.

Their flowers do not produce seed as far as I have seen. We've been doing them for several years. Started out with one row and now... well it is a whole lot more. The word went out this year that any choke outside the fence takes its chances with the lawn mowing.

Can't say much about eating them as we haven't ... yet. Nice plant, spreads easily and I use the dried stalks as plant supports.

Goats adore the plant. They give it two hooves up on taste.

Melatonin messes me up. I got off the the generic nyquil in June after years of taking it at night. Causes dementia. (I also stopped my Box Wine drinking at the same time).

Melatonin was what the Doc (PA) said to use. It made my brain hyper. I lowered the dose to 2 mg. Still hyper brain.

Switched to L-theonine. Worked for a while but now I can't fall asleep or get deep sleep.

Once a week I'll take a swig of my generic nyquil just to be able to get enough rest.

@murphysranch - what is the thing with boxed wine? The plastic? Lots of wine here but all in bottles - screw tops and corks.

Box wine? Less $ and a cute little button & spigot to dispense....glass under, bush button.

well I knew that!

Mini is right. Waaay less money. Easy peasy to fill up my small wine glass several times. AND less judgement on how much I'm guzzling since its not in something where the level of wine is visible.

Waaay less money.

often translates to "low quality".

I don’t drink enough to know the difference, boxed wine suits me. I like to drink it with my chicken fried lamb round steak.
