Time to take HEMP / Marijuana off the schedule 1 drug list,

Can you believe Alabama's stupid laws?

Concentrates such as wax & oil are produced by big companies & are legal; but they'll confiscate your house if you try to grow this humble plant at home.

Many heads need removing from rectums!

We can have 4 plants in Va

I live in Alabama - most depressingly backward state in the nation regarding this subject.

Thinking about moving 24 miles over into Mississippi because they're going fully legal.

I would love to move where its warmer but my apples need so many chill hours to fruit, anything i grow has to compete with my apples 🤣

LOL...

I'll be planting apple trees in a few days here... Arkansas Blacks & 2 other varieties... They're quite dependable here in the Southern states.

We usually get about 6 weeks of 30-degree temps at night, but with 70-degree days...

Loving spring!

my arkansas black was one of my only trees to produce last year, hopefully we will do better this year.

I love the flavor on those! We're also growing 3 types of cider apples, because I have a hankering for some sparkling cider like my Pop used to make back in the day... '60s.

Meanwhile, I have to content myself with Switchel. LOL

Made by the glass.

i have about 70 different varieties of apples, the majority are not old enough to produce fruit yet and I have a great source for scion if you want to graft your own trees. I like taking the useless bradford ornamental pear and grafting edible pears on top, i have a handful that should produce pears this year and i hear they are good mixed with cider apples.

Have you ever made perry?

It's a sparkling cider traditionally made in England.

Delicious!

no i have not, i wanted to make meade but never got that far, living in 2 different places has its challenges. I know very little about any of it, and i really need to learn. ❤️

Meade is so easy!

All you need is access to lots & lots of honey.

Just tried Blake's honey from a local feed store over in Wilmer...

Dark & smoky rich, it is... Delicious!

Glad I don't have to buy from over in Semmes anymore.

I make more fruit wines than anything. My Pop had a still & used to make whiskey, but I never caught on to that.

Fruit wine, homemade beer & a few other things, like fermented fruit cocktail we call "worthy." Awesome topping for cake or ice cream, but quite a high-proof additive.

I've though of making that again & dipping in chocolate to make boozy fruit truffles, LOL.

Chocolate! Now you are talking my language ❤️❤️❤️

I am guilty of knowing absolutely nothing about anything alcoholic, I grew up in a family of alcoholics and figured it was best to never even get started. Weed was my thing but that was years ago.

I would probably be very interested in sparkling cider, that sounds tasty.

I knew of a guy who made meade, but he disappeared and i don’t know what happened to him, maybe not enough interest 🤷🏼‍♀️

I can't stand Hershey's or Cadbury's or Nestle's chocolate... It tastes so flat & too sweet, full of fillers.

But give me sun-dried cocoa beans from Peru or Ecuador or Mexico & I can make some chocolate, girl!

I know EXACTLY what you mean about the alcoholics. Both my parents, one ex-spouse, and I was done!

When I was in my 20s, I drank a bit, but my body just isn't interested these days. One bottle of red wine (Cassillo del Diablo Carminere from Concha y Toro, Chile) can last me 2 weeks... even using some to cook with, LOL.

I'm thinking a chunk of boozy pineapple wrapped in 70% dark chocolate ganache...

That just seems so decadent to me!

I cannot stand the cheap chocolate, waxy tasting.

when you start making all this stuff, im sure you’ll need a taste tester before selling and making millions.... i be like Lucy on the chocolate assembly line 🤣

LOL!

If I ever do start making that for other than just the family, it'll be for QakeLady's tea room...

I'm not about large scale at all... Even when I'm making soap, I stick to 5-lb batches.

I can't imagine trying to handle a mold full of 20 lbs of soap!

I love homemade soap, but i never want to mess up the beautiful bar, so i set it aside for me to enjoy 😂 I have one sitting on my nightstand now, the scent is heavenly ❤️
