TIL about competitive scything (www.youtube.com)

I was shopping for a new scythe blade when I found this beautiful and incredibly long competition scythe blades....

What it's like to live on the migratory route. (youtu.be)

For two or three weeks each spring and fall it gets very noisy on the homestead.

Happy Turkey Sounds (www.youtube.com)

There have been some soft, green vine like plants growing around our feed cans near the brooding house (where the turkeys currently are) and the turkey hut (where they will be moving this weekend.) I pulled some of them out and threw them into the holding yard. When I let them out they started making happy turkey noised.

RULES:

All Lemmy.ca rules apply here.
Everyone (see rules 4 and 98) is welcome.
If you’ve seen a question 100 times answer it the 101st time or ignore it. Even better, write a complete, detailed answer and suggest that the mod(s) pin it to the community.
There will be ZERO tolerance for shaming, brigading, harassment, or other nonsense of those who keep, hunt, harvest, and process animals. [See rule 98.] You will be permanently banned the first time. You are NOT morally superior because you choose not to.
If you post a picture that includes blood, gore, or a dead animal mark it NSFW. We’re not going to tolerate the militant anti-hunting and anti-farming bullshit here but we’re also not going to tolerate people rubbing their hunting and harvesting in people’s faces. [See rule 98.] If you post blood, gore, or dead animals and don’t mark it NSFW it will be removed.

[Did you actually think there were 98 rules?]

If you present something as fact and are asked to provide proof or a source provide proof or a source. Proof must be from a reliable source. If you fail to provide proof or a source your post or comment may be removed.
Don’t be a dick. Yes, this is a catch-all rule. Yes, you absolutely can be permanently banned for Rule 98 violations.
The mod(s) have the final say.

#Today my rainy day project is kumquat, ginger, starfruit chutney. A condiment for many dishes. I just had some with crackers and cream cheese. It makes DELICIOUS baked brie, brightens up lentils and beans, would make a good sweet n sour tofu, and will compliment many meats. #homegrown #homestead #cooking #condiments #sidedish

Nigella Lawson's Italian Pudding Cake is the most sublime thing for Yule dinner dessert. I made a gluten free version for my daughter with trepidation, not knowing if it would even be good. According to her (and she's tried EVERYTHING) it turned out perfect. So below is the original recipe from Nigella's site. The filling is...
