Last week, I harvested some leafy greens and mints (yes, i grow them on the ground and i really don't mind.) Rinsing, picking the leaves, and drying The very first batch of indoor dried mint for my herbal tea N1.

No problem, my pleasure :D

Thank you @Dahlia! I don't have rosemary bread here, but i'd love to make some loaves and will try the way you created your adorable sandwich. 😙

After running a one-person cafe and making everything from bread, dessert, drinks, and meals, i feel like working in a restaurant and have to rotate in different stations. It's challenging, as the customers' responses are real-time feedbacks. Besides, every day i open the shop, i have to...

i did, but first we need to be clear about the term 'high' :D How many % is yours? I used 13.8% manitoba wheat flour for making Japanese Shokupan. Rising is never an issue here. Would u mind explaining a bit about your recipe and rough steps?

I rarely do large-scale preserving, but even small batches can slowly build a wonderful “flavor pantry” at home — honestly better than many store-bought products. It’s economical, flexible, and a great way to reduce waste while adding a lot of depth to everyday cooking. Too many photos, so I...

homegrown veggies are always soooo delicious :love

Sunflower seedlings

Many things are happening in the garden and cafe, so time really flies. We finally have some rain here, after almost 3 weeks warm, sunny, and dry weather. I already started collecting rinsing water for the newly transplanted perennials, too dry. Remember I set up a mini plant stand in front...

Pea shoots, so yummy!

Our weather in April is unbelievably sunny - although the night is still cold (3~5C, light frost sometimes, but didn't cause damage). I spent again many many hours in the garden as now i have two full days off. I picked purple and yellow as the main colors for the container-based garden in...

Everything is growing nicely, the rainbow chards that overwintered in the greenhouse, broad beans (for shoots), salad greens First harvest day this spring~ Are you also sowing seeds for autumn/winter plants? I will do soon. In the past I always sowed too late (around July) and never...

Fresh mint and dried tea MUMs, very mild and tasty With Matcha cheesecake :love

collecting food 😙

Here comes a lovely lemon and meringue tart, with homegrown pansies and mint - i am going to have my second coffee now.

Another spot that we just let it be during winter months - time for some haircut Time to transplant some wild garlic that I grew them in pots. Also some bricks with violets and Euonymus, with some spring pruning not bad, maybe it's a good idea Each brick develops its own look, how lovely...

I did a lot of cleaning and rearrangements these two weeks. First, the small path next to the house. It's basically just an additional passage to the garden, and we didn't think too much of using it. However, after opening the cafe, i spent more time in the frontyard and here. The observation...

22C today, gosh, almost like summer - the laundry dried so quickly in the greenhouse.

Dear Bay, It's a bit tedious, but not too complicated - also it can save a lot of time and effort for me to explain in a language i am much less capable of. The most difficult step might be deciding to do so, but after the template is built (also AI helps), just repeat copy and paste - finger...

And this reminds me about one thread about recycling things in the garden :D
