I often have a microwaved store-bought apple, chopped. Often, it's Honeycrisp since that's DW's favorite. Thinking about that for a 2nd breakfast, inspired by @Phaedra , I thought, well, I could put some raisins in it. Wine • Raisins – they're both from grapes 🍇! Having a slice of rhubarb...

"Snow" has occurred several times in our forecasts, always for the early morning times when a rainshower is moving on. Hasn't happened. The precipitation isn't even piling up snow at the nearest Snotel at elevation 4700 feet.I continue to think that this might be okay because of dry soil...

Using the word "beautifully" in the same sentence with celeriac has a touch of humor, @Decoy1 :). Long season crop — patience is a virtue ... as is early care, especially. Regular 1204 inserts for the flats, @flowerbug . I see that the supply outfits are beginning to call those compact...

Seed. I have never seen them as starts in the garden centers.

This is so sweet ... last night on The Late Show. Mavis is 86. She was with the Staple Singers years ago with her sisters and sometimes her father. (Change the volume just as she finishes the song. The crowd cheering nearly knocked me outta my chair :D.)

Because it was always fresh food that was in the paintings, @Dahlia ? The enthusiasm for a new crop must have always been a part of life. We are having lots of persimmons right now ;). I wonder how common at home wine-making was during those years. I do have a theory about wine making...

I thought to post a LINK to this thread about growing celeriac. There is no secret to growing them that I know of except that they take a very full season. That means that the sprouting of seed indoors begins very early, like 8 weeks before last frost. Yes, they can take some chilly weather...

Up at 3 AM, I fell asleep in the lazyboy after breakfast. Entering a clinic waiting room, I see a nurse directing a naked man out of the exam rooms hallway to a seat. The lady at the other end of the row of chairs looks uncomfortable. I sat near the front row of seats. Big Bird and Mr...

How much more personally vital to life and how much more diverse could a world of food be?

Looking back on the compiled monthly reports from the Weather Service ... October isn't really a part of the growing season but for cool-season crops, about half of the month could be considered so this year. The rainfall was considerably above average with 2¼ inches while the October average...

Dug up the celery roots and prepared that end of the bed for 2026. The surface soil has benefited from several years of cultivation and moving soil and organic material in. That end was part of a driveway at one time. Really, the entire bed was but, probably many years ago, the route to the...

A bright, sunny morning — the sun showing up an hour earlier made it more so ;). Starting out, I accomplished what I had hoped for by staying on the horizontal in bed for 8 hours. Most nights recently, that has not been the case. Yes, I realize that the sun will disappear below the western...

fits.
