Well, it's been over a year since I half-heartedly started this blog. I just reactivated it so I could ask a question on another blog I follow regularly, The Archdruid Report. I was surprised when it wouldn't let me create an account, and instead reactivated this one. I had no idea this one still existed.

Yes, you could call me a technophobe.

Anyway, I guess trying to recap everything since last May would be pretty pointless. This year, I have been struggling with melons, squash, sunflowers, cukes, eggplant, beans, peas, okra, and a few misc. experiments. I also raised 24 cornish cross broilers up to large "game hen" size this spring, but have put that project on hold until I get a solution for the processing. Other projects on long-term horizon are a rainwater system, home and barn improvements, wildlife buffers, and game management.

  1. Hello again Hal, in response to your comment to me on the Archdruid's site, I hope I would not be so rude or presumptuous as to suggest you were too long-winded in your earlier comment to the young people! In fact my suggestion was quite the reverse: I really liked what you wrote hence my suggestion that you might consider adding it as a post in your own blog and hoped you might write more! I'm in my 50s now so am not casting about quite the way the young people are but thought you gave a good, well rounded view. That's valuable.

    However, if you still want to make your blog private here are the details of how to do so:
    From the public face of your blog look at the top line of text over to the right of the screen. You'll probably see the word "Design" there. Click on it.
    This will take you to another page. On this page choose the heading "Settings" and click on it.
    This will take you to the first page of the Settings options, the Basics ones.
    Look down that page to the "Permissions" heading, and where it says "Blog readers" find the word 'Edit' and click on it.
    From the resulting options were it says "Only blog authors" click on this option, since you're the only author of your blog.
    Now be sure to click on "Save settings"
    You're done!
    I hope you won't though!

    If you want to track back to my site, you can do so by clicking on the icon or my name.
    All the very best, :-)
    Leigh.

  2. Thank you for your kind comment on my blog. It's too bad you don't have Internet where you are, I'm sure I would have enjoyed reading about how you develop your farm. I certainly understand your difficulty, I used to have to go places to get high-speed Internet and that was a pain.

  3. Hi Hal,

    This is Iuval, from the archdruid report. I would like to talk to you sooner than later, don't know how long till the GWF will be up. Can you contact me through email (posted on the archdruid report)?. I would like to know more of why you want to discourage people from helping you out. I lived in MS for a while, in the boonies around Magnolia, not too far from McComb, What if we had some resources and a bunch of people, not just me?
