Michelle W. Flannery said… - Angie, I see you started your canning group, but you indicate you're focus is on preserving "methods" when I specifically said that's what my group was doing. How should I proceed now?

- Hi Angie. What beautiful photos you posted. Is that your farmhouse in the distance? It's beautiful.
As to the groups and repetition... repetition seems to be inevitable here, in discussions and sometimes in groups. It frustrates me, but I'm a bit anal that way. There is no one/no way to monitor it the way the site is set up. I believe we are supposed to police ourselves, but some folks can be a bit touchy about things, and most just seem to ignore some issues.
KGI is growing so quickly and so exponentially, that repetition is bound to happen. There is just too much to sift and sort through any more to find out if our topic of interest is "out there."
The Root Cellar group is supposed to focus on methods of preservation, rather than recipes, even though someone has started adding recipes. And the types of preservation I'd like us to discuss are those other than canning.
I don't think adding a Canning and Preserving Recipes group would be overlap if you specify that your group is recipes. That is what you're going for isn't it? If so, go for it. I will mention, however, that we have a recipe collection under notes and a recipe group. Make sure people understand that yours is for canning and preserving recipes only if that is the case.
Good luck. mwf

Sharon said… - I would guess they are related to blackberries. A bit smaller, not quite as many seed and the color is more of a purplish color. I've read that if too close to blackberries they will cross. They grow everywhere down here, road sides, unkept yards, and acreage that hasn't been cleared completely. When I was growing up it was common to see folks on the side of the road picking them. They are great to eat and make a good jam.
The birds love them. I let one large stump just be covered with them and the birds sit up in the middle of all of these vines and eat, sing and recycle.

HOW TO - ADD A LINK
Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....
First type the text you want to appear.... ie IAN'S PAGE
Then go back and highlight the link text.
Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.
Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message. Allow it and go back and highlight the text again

Forum Policy
Hi, I'm starting to put together a few guidlines on using the discussion forum on here.
I would be happy to hear any comments you may have. This is very much a work in progress so plese feel free to ask me to add anything you think is needed.
I don't want to make our community hide bound by rules and regulations but I think that, as the community has grown, some explanation of what is expected is needed.
