Profoundly NerdyCan someone recommended good meal creation guides for home canned/lacto-fermented foods?
Any suggestions on what to plant in a small garden?

Fermentation station is back!
This time, we've got: carrots, cabbage, leeks, chili, onion -- some have bay leaves in (for tanning to keep the vegetables crunchy during fermentation). Other jars have mustard seeds, whole black peppercorns.
The saline solution is 3.5% by weight, slightly higher than usual, but some of the softer vegetables (chili) need that to prevent kahm yeast from forming.
This should be fun!
LJStill looking for folks interested in food preservation & especially #lactofermenting
And sharing my go-to resourse book: "Fermenting Vegetables" by Shockey & Shockey.
@amorris Made sauerkraut for the first time last year. I wasn't expecting to like it - I made it for my spouse. But it's soooo good. Makes a good crunchy addition to sandwiches if you don't have lettuce handy. #lactofermenting FTW!
Ross of OttawaAlso did some experimental cucumber #lactofermenting too.
Just halved slices, with a few herbs and salt. It also bubbled its way through a few days, so I've put a lid on it and into the fridge.
Perhaps will try it tomorrow after a good thorough chill through.
