    Do you ferment?

    I have two 2 gallon continuous brew jars of kombucha. From the garden, my favorite things to ferment are radishes, cucumbers, cauliflower, dilly beans, honey fermented garlic, and peppers for sauce. For those, I just use jars with glass weights and silicone pickle pipes - they are cheap and easy!

    Nawthern vs Southern

    You might think you see blowing snow when you look out my window at midday today, but really it is increased privacy from the neighbors, decreased risk of UV radiation, winter moisture, and hassle-free mulch, all in one!

    We send the older ones out to be ambassadors of "Minnesota Nice" to spread it across the south! They've had the most practice after all. And all those years of adventure and excitement can take a lot out of the body, we don't want anyone to break a hip. :old And thanks for the dictionary...

    Ooohhhhhh...Well then...shots fired! ;) If any northerner didn't check the depth of the ice on a lake, or left their door/window/sunroof open in the snow, then that's their own fault. But it was probably a visiting southerner..I've seen them slip-sliding around on the roads because they never...

    Paste tomatoes

    That's good to know about Federle, thanks! I've been using purchased seeds, but plan to save seed this year as the germination is getting lower on my older seed. I'll definitely bag them! I've been using my Hungarian Heart's for canning, and they are not juicy tomatoes. But you are right...

    Paste tomatoes

    I like Federle (super productive) and Amish Paste (literally tastes like tomato paste) for traditional paste tomatoes, as well as Hungarian Heart (an oxheart tomato that is meaty and low in liquid/seeds).

    Hello from Minnesota!

    Haha! :) Thank you, and I'm excited to find out more about your peppers in the future. I joke about Wisconsin, but most of my family is from there (Antigo area and Milwaukee), so I find myself there quite frequently!
