(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!.
