        Jonathon I’m sorry I was just joking ( which is why I said preformed, some even call it tube steak) but from the sources I see it has a pretty high fat content.

        I have had it grilled and really was okay. I think I would approach it as a chicken sausage.

          Joe Hell I have no idea what you ate…lol. The key to growing them is you have to have at least plants. I have had one good year, one bad, and this year seems to be going ok.

          My cucumbers are coming on strong as well, I’ve made a cucumber salsa as well as creamed cucumbers. I’ve also been grilling a lot of zucchini and yellow squash.

          Tex_77 I am frickin’ jealous. I have harvested one, three inch pickling cuke. I have a couple of families of speed beef, aka whitetails that have developed a fondness for my dill, cilantro and hot peppers. Never had an issue before, my tomatoes and garlic are about the size of a quarter. Unfortunately our season really doesn’t kick in until 6/1, long days, but short season. Just a tad bit too far north for a decent growing season, just 50-100 south is a whole different story. We do have great ice fishing though.

              Tex_77 Weed block LOL All I can do is pray… I used a weed and feed designed for southern lawns of Bermuda on my Bermuda grass in the back yard, It killed the Bermuda and fed the crab grass. I’m ready to kill everything and just sod the lawn.

                I just use a good weed and feed.and let the wife cut the lawn. She has been hinting at a rider but I am holding out for that Walton’s meat mixer first. I have been trying to get a good night’s sleep on the couch all summer. 🙂

                  Chef YooperDog I was referring more to the garden than my lawn. My lawn is looking good, still trying to kill out some bermuda, without killing the fescue. The only crab grass I have in the yard is around the edges for the most part, so it gets a shot of RoundUp. Working in Ag I have access to a plethora of chemicals and fertilizer.

                      Tex_77 I use cotton burrs. It comes in bags like most mulch does it’s a good blocker that lasts the whole growing season. Then when it’s time to till the next spring it has turned to compost. I’ve used it the last 4years and it has really loosened the soil and has been all the fertilizer that I have needed

                          We have used a whole lot of things over the years. The cotton burrs used to work great a long time ago, when we could get them for free as waste by the truckloads, same went for Rice Hulls, & Peanut Hulls. Then folks got smart & found someone to apparently pay good money for all of that. I suppose we are down to newspaper covered by leaves, but now newspaper is getting harder to come by, amazing. We also use the straw from the chicken house (Alfalfa & wheat, with some wood chips) when we clean it out. That has always worked real well directly on the beds or rows rather than between the rows or beds. I am seriously thinking of converting everything to raised beds to see how that works out, but it will also require a pretty good expense in converting. Rabbit manure works real well too as it makes an excellent side dressing that has more nitrogen than chicken, but without the ammonia, so no burn.

                                        Tex_77 I didn’t know such a thing existed. Is it pretty much an electrically powered food mill?

                                        TexLaw I would say yes. Walton’s sells them Weston Electric Tomato Strainer

                                          I bought the SS version, long before I found Walton’s and love it. I usually can 20 or so quarts of spaghetti sauce and its great.

                                          Hint: run the seeds and skins a 2nd time, you’ll get a lot more goodness.
