[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 533536, member: 1233"] I have tried to grow MANY types of plants. the ONLY one I ever had luck with was poison ivy. Sadly, I planted it in my mother's brand new rock garden. she could NOT understand how it kept getting through the weed barrier stuff she put down, lol. i was four and it was pretty and shiny and looked awesome with the pretty rocks. i didn't know it gave people rashes until a few years later when i suddenly developed the allergy to it. My dad still doesn't get the rash, but now mine is bad enough we go to the er if i get exposed. they won't even let me have an epipen because it took 3 of them last time to stop the reaction. i stay waaaayyyy out of gardens now. people thank me. one year I tried to water husband's garden for him. it all died. No clue why. he left directions that mostly were turn on the hose at this time, off at that time. they were healthy for him when HE did that. but let me do it for a week and bye bye garden. be VERY VERY careful with that butter. if the milk was not pasteurized it is not legal to sell it or anything made from it because it can give you a number of very very nasty infections including brucellosis (sp?). I learned this from classes in food safety and from knowing many cattle ranchers and large animal vets. Not a one of them would TOUCH butter made from someone's home with-o making darn sure it was pasteurized. With the kidney issues you are especially at risk, so call the butter-makers and ask because you cannot afford these infections to save a few dollars. not unless you WANT to die, and there are much faster less painful methods to do that. not saying don't try it, but double check that it is pasteurized. One of my aunt's made this mistake and dang near died and killed her kid with this. In Brown County, OH. It took her eight years to pay the medical bills from the treatments for her and her son.
