Today in the #greenhouse: strawberries are bouncing back from my neglect. For both the snapdragons and the carnations, I must have dropped some of the tiny seeds outside the grow bags, as well as some potting mix, so I have some volunteers to prick out. #estufa #jardim #porto #gardening #garden #growityourself

Big day for the #raisedBeds. I made #diy bamboo frames and completed planting everything in the shown February plan (h/t growVeg) except for under the archway. I need to rethink that space because I may not have killed all of the chu chu I was given in October, so how does everything fit now? My 18 potatoes are planted--I think the remaining 82 can go to the neighbors with chickens and a rooster. Previously planted, garlic is coming up! Nothing from the previously sown carrots & greens yet. It should be a good Spring.

Making tea from scratch - green (steamed), hojicha (roasted, foreground) - now in the oven - and black (oxidised, will take a few days).

Following https://www.wilsonbrosgardens.com/how-to-make-tea-from-camellia-sinensis-tea-plant.html

I rolled and rolled the black tea leaves upon themselves but they certainly didn’t go red!

It’s an experiment that may or may not work!

I’ve always thought there should be a recipe book called “Glut”
Just full of recipes calling for 1kg of a specific ingredient and sorted by ingredient.
For when you have ridiculous amounts of one ingredient and need recipes to cope.
Like Apple pie for apples.
Something that’s not just jam.
Would need a UK veg & soft fruit edition.

It's about time I started to learn to grow my own food. Starting small, and early with some crops that need to sprout in indoor conditions. Hope they'll do well!

Plants have been a comfort amid chaos over the last year. From starting seeds under a grow bulb, to growing berries and vegetables in containers, to overwintering a few indoors to keep them going.... it's been a learning experience. I've enjoyed being in one place enough to tend to them and watch what makes them happy day to day.

These peppers were last summer's breakout success: seeds set aside from a CSA pepper the previous summer suddenly turned into four vigorous plants in a 4L container, and then in an 18L box. It was enough to enjoy 8 or so really nice red-green peppers before it slowed down in autumn.

What plants are you starting indoors this month?

#Gardens #Garlic #Scapes #GrowItYourself

My very own, first ever scapes from the six cloves of hard neck garlic I planted last november. It's just me that eats veggies, usually, so no vegetable garden here, except for this patch!
