I'd much rather spend my time growing and preparing delicious food, riding our horses, and walking the dog. My husband has been making sourdough for over three years from a wild yeast starter. It took about three weeks for it to be totally active but it tastes better every time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512053081408729041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-22069491201517069172017-02-26T06:38:26.928-06:002017-02-26T06:38:26.928-06:00I love seeing these posts Susan---I hope this mean...I love seeing these posts Susan---I hope this means we will see more.

I've died and gone to heaven....Oh my goodness! I've died and gone to heaven. My favorite Farmgirl is back and planting again! Hello, dear Susan!!! Tickled to hear from you and get a little peak into your early planting for this year. Your kitchen garden was always a treat to read (FGF also, of course!) and have missed your tips on which wild varieties to try, and why. Glad to hear your weather is warm enough that you've snuck out and seeded a few rogues, and that they've sprouted. Hooray!!! I did better than I've ever done and late last fall I got out and covered all beds with shredded leaves. Got bean poles and cuke trellis out of the ground just before real hard freeze for first time. Dead tomato plants pulled just days before. Relate to your style sooo much! :) As per my usual kamikaze planting though, I think I've burnt my leek seedlings. The first tray I planted succumbed to damping off as I was too tight to sterilize a huge bag of seeding medium that was open over the year before. Wanted leeks so badly, bought a pack of seeds from the feed store (the first were my saved seeds, wah!), sterilized the planting medium, and put the tray on a heating pad on low. Patience is not my virtue so I put the tray in window and lo and behold, solar energy works. Who knew?! :) Fried the babies. Happily I can buy leek seedlings from my favorite local farmer in a few weeks. Haha. Sorry to blather on, but am sooo glad to hear you that I'm being a loon. Better get to work and say adieu. Thanks again for posting. Always terrific to read you. Good luck with your sourdough starter! :) hugs to Joe and you and the beasts!Caryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236278932692169950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-11382633675059601152017-02-25T00:10:51.354-06:002017-02-25T00:10:51.354-06:00Now I'm REALLY hungry AND want to go for a wal...Now I'm REALLY hungry AND want to go for a walk!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.com
