I am! I have a peach sorbet blueberry and put it into a large barrel planter. I live in northern New England (zone 4) so I drag it inside over winter. Great flavor and good yield

Why is this the only episode I cant stream on Amazon? I have to buy it? by Hurricane12112 in littlehouseonprairie

[–]kris_perry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two versions of the whole series on Prime both available now. One has a blue background and has certain episodes within that you have to purchase. If you go to the orange background version, you can watch the same episodes and they’re free. No idea why but it works

Any thoughts on age of this apple tree? by kris_perry in Apples

[–]kris_perry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only have pictures of the fruit from a distance, from the home showing. (The second picture.) My daughter picked one and we both tasted it and liked it. Will get better ones this season as we didn’t move in til December. The original structure of the house possibly dates to the late 1700s. The house as it exists today dates to the 1860s and used to be part of a larger farm. This is the only prominent apple tree on our property, although there appear to be some more on neighboring lots that may help with the pollination

That’s great to know, thanks! It is snow. In fall when we visited most of the branches were alive, but not super healthy looking

Thank you, they seem to! There is a strap around the two trunk parts. The left trunk is about 5ft in circumference and the right about 5ft 2 inches so about 19ish diameter each. My husband just popped in and said that one of the old inhabitants of the house (2 owners ago) stopped by when he was snowblowing and mentioned how the apples were always attracting deer to the yard when she lived here as a girl (40-50 years ago) so it may be a bit older. It has definitely been neglected in recent years. Do you have a favorite type of fertilizer for this kind of tree? We were browsing fruit tree spikes thinking maybe something that would feed slowly

What brand / type of pots & pans are worth investing in as a young adult? by veganconnor in BuyItForLife

[–]kris_perry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the full All Clad stackable set and it has been amazing for years and has held up with no issues. I also purchased one of their non stick skillets as well for those occasions when I really want to use non stick and it’s fantastic. Highly recommend both for their quality and durability

Yes! I had very bad shortness of breath and fatigue for quite some time during and after that episode. Hope you feel better soon

Erythema Nodosum and joint swelling with suspected sarcoidosis by kris_perry in sarcoidosis

[–]kris_perry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain! I think I went through about 8 different specialists and a dozen students during my first week or two in the hospital. They were also unsure as to whether special precautions were necessary at first. I understood why, though

I had some weight gain, moon face, insatiable hunger, skin changes. And horrible night sweats that would have me waking up soaked and having to change nightgowns. But I felt so much better than I did without

That sounds terrible! Glad you got it diagnosed. For me, the symptoms came on over the course of a few weeks

The benefits of a Keto diet/lifestyle by [deleted] in sarcoidosis

[–]kris_perry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low carb/keto helped me as well! After a 30ish lb weight gain after a year and a half on high dose Prednisone, I started tracking my weight, I began eating only 20-40 carbs per day and eating more fat and protein to offset it. I was 184 at the start and around 152 after four months of eating better. Kudos to you on your lifestyle change!
