BlueCollarBob- Bumbling Through My First Grow

[Stoneyluv]

Brother, I'm an animal lover, but I'm starting to struggle with bears. They used to be a rare sight in my neck of the woods. Now they're thick and a nuisance.

I have a buddy who will help me out, if I get into bees. It does add some responsibility that I'm not looking for, lol. I think they require pretty regular inspections. Not a big deal on it's own, but added in with other stuff... I just want to make sure it will be fun and not feel too much like work.

I use honey from by buddies bees every day in my coffee. My wife uses it to make a granola mix. I imagine infusing it could provide some interesting opportunities, but I haven't gotten into anything like that, yet.

You go first and let me know how it works out .

the place where i would want to keep the bees is bear ally around here.. i was wondering if a electric fence would keep them away?

garden looks great man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! have you tried that curry out yet?... made my tummy growl out loud when i looked at the photo!!!!

Not super familiar, I'm up in northern va, but my wife would love it, she's crazy about sunflowers

you guys might like it. Unless you're a lot more patient than me, it might be a good place to take a gander at the view and release your wife to the festival while you jump on your bike and tour the area, lol. I love seeing my ladies enjoying themselves, but it was too much time with vendors that were not appealing to the average guy. My wife fessed up that it's the sort of thing she used to go to with her mom when I worked weekends, because she knew it was more geared towards women.

This isn't even me trying to be funny, but one of the tents they spent a lot of time in sold something like essential oils and scented bath products. Smelly stuff. I'm sure they were nice individually, but, where I was waiting outside the tent, they combined to smell just like urinal cakes. I even looked around to see if there was a port-a-potty somewhere nearby.

I was thinking electric fence, too. I'll ask my buddy how he protects his bees and report back.

No, I haven't tried any of it, yet. Been a little hectic and late hours at work. They had a whole lot of different blends to choose from. I just picked three that smelled good and asked them what was popular. I'm looking forward to trying them out. I really have lost some of my go to seasoning mixes due to their preservatives and stuff the wife tells me aren't healthy. I'm cool with that, if I can find healthier alternatives. So, fingers crossed, but the ingredients and smell make me optimistic

I am curious about the curry. I love Thai curries at restaurants, but we only have one super simple curry recipe in the regular rotation at home. It's basically just a Trader Joe's curry sauce we like that goes into the slow cooker with chicken. It's one of those easy, but tasty meals that we just eat over rice. So, I'm looking forward to seasoning up something different with this spice. Not sure what to try. They're website mentioned it is good on cucumbers or tomatoes marinated in the fridge overnight. Simple, but I still have some good garden tomatoes. I'll also want to season an actual recipe, though.
