Homework.

New year, new shoes.
Keep the snow coming! The maples need it. 🍁
I need it too!

‘Tis the season!

Manzano Fire, Sun Gold, Paul Robeson, Cherokee Purple.

Big thanks to all the plant breeders, seed producers and seed savers for giving us a chance to grow something really delicious in a bit of soil. Thank you!

Now, if nights would stop dipping down to 46° F, it would be great…

Mmmmmm…. cabbage.

Mmmmmm…. cabbage.

Mmmmmm…. cabbage.

Mmmmmm…. cabbage.

Great story about fried shallots by @kenjilopezalt in NYTimes. Now I know what to do with all the shallots I’m growing.

Beautiful work by @simoncooks as always. Thanks @kgoug and the whole @nytcooking crew!!

The watermelon salad is phenomenal. Make it! Maybe don’t use all 12 bird’s-eye chilies. 😜🌶🔥

‘Tis the season for chive blossom vinegar.

1.25 parts white vinegar to 1 part water.
1 Tablespoon-ish kosher salt.
Pack a jar with chive blossoms and cover with liquid.
Chuck in fridge for a few weeks.
Done.

Beach weather. 😎

Some garden successes and a few failures this season, but it’s been good fun so far. Not bad for total neglect: not watering once, no fence and compost so full of wood chips that the beds are basically self-mulching.

I’m basically a lettuce farmer now. (He says after growing 8 head of lettuce.) The dragons tongue beans from @bakercreekseeds are phenomenal! And grow like weeds. Flowers are hitting their stride.

Something sampled my first slicing tomato about 2 days before I would have. Bears ripped out all 16 stalks of Astronomy sweet corn (and didn’t touch the beans). And flea beetles (I think) got apocalyptic on the potatoes.

The last one is a little view I opened up at the top of the property looking across the valley. Great spot for a pre-production call. And, frankly, the only place with cell service.

Hope summer is a good one for you and you have a chance to get your hands in some soil… or at least on a ripe tomato.

I believe the kids call this a “bowl”. Kidding, that’s what 30-somethings call it. Kids call it: “gross! What’s that green stuff!?” I put sour cream and (very) hot sauce on it when you weren’t looking. Have a great Friday evening!
