Posted on May 12, 2022May 12, 202205/12/2022 all the not dramatic regular stuff Walking onions from garden, assorted farm share veggies, with glass noodles and chicken. Pulled a lot more Maximilian sunflower this evening. I put it in a tub with some potting soil to keep until they can go to new homes. I found a baby spittlebug on one sunflower stem! I took it over to the sunflowers we’re keeping so it can keep eating. In the front yard, a few winecup seedlings are coming up in the ground cover orchard area. More baby winecup! I pulled up two more native black walnut seedlings and potted them. Hopefully this one can make it with only half its remaining food. Anyways, this makes a total of four. I have found good homes for most or all of them now. Our lot is too small for another big tree.

Bread is made with crabapple “lees“, the yeast residue that accumulates during the cider fermentation. To me, it smells like cider pleasantly and tastes soft and chewy in the best way. Thanks, Paula, for a tasty meal!

Posted on December 11, 2021December 11, 2021Generous neighbors Our neighbors have a crabapple tree that is loaded with fruit, and offered us as many as we can pick. Yesterday, with the Chef and Paula and me, that was about 50 pounds. Paula and the Chef cut off the blossom ends and boiled them. More updates as they occur! The Chef made tiny adorable ham croissants with lemon garlic aioli for dinner. Swiss chard (Fordham giant variety) from the garden is the green.
