(Pictured: my first round of lacto-fermented pickles from 2021)
What are you doing differently this year? What do you want to learn?
Last year I got some inspiration from a HB post about pickling cucumbers and it was a really enriching and fascinating journey to learn about pickling and fermenting.
This year I want to stay on that train but learn to ferment habañeros, but my other goals are a gourd arch (for the pickling cucumbers), going to try drying beans for the first time in 10 years (I found a place to harvest bamboo that I'm going to use to make some huge trellises), and I want to try celery and also do garlic, potatoes, sweet peppers and eggplant.
I also want to learn about saving seeds, but I say that every year.
So what about you comrade? Share your inspirations!.
built raised beds and put in some thornless blackberries
didn't mulch the yard yet so gonna try to do a bunch of weeding today to get ready for spring
Thornless blackberries? That's wild where I live blackberries are invasive and grow like crazy everywhere, nobody would plant blackberries here because you can fill your bucket within a 15 minute walk wherever you live.
Good berry though. We're still working through our blackberry jam from last year.
