beautiful looking veggies you have there!
My bay window is filling up with trays of starts too. If I transplant the rest of the little newer sprouts into bigger containers then it will be...

Unless of course you are both eating them! Then it might not matter at all

Up here in the Interior of Alaska we have tons of wild, good tasting greens. Most are best when picked in early spring, after that they can get bitter and tough. I go for the fireweed stalks early on...

No wild blackberries this far north, close to the Arctic Circle, but we do have a lot of wild raspberries. The leaves make a great addition to tea. I like raspberry leaves and wild rose petals the...

I've tried the no knead recipes before, they work, but I still like the texture of kneaded bread better. Sourdough especially needs a little knead!

And yup that book "Roughing it Easy" is a good...

split pea soup with a hunk of moose bone simmering on the stove. Might throw in some barley, wild rice, garlic and spices and maybe some noodles later on. Served with fresh hot sourdough bread hot...

the sprouts in the pict are a a mix of alfalfa, cabbage and radish...a pleasant combination. I also have just alfalfa, and also do lentil, beans and wheat sprouts on occasion. Spouts are really good...

by far my choice would be beaver (if you can get one). We eat a lot of beaver, trapping in the spring and early summer when the hunting season is open. It's one of our favorite meats. One beaver can...

that looks very nice! I do a fair share of container gardens and plant in 5 gallon old buckets too. Raised beds particularly work well in AK as they get to an earlier warm up in the spring time and...

Howdy! I am new to this forum also...
Ha ha, I was a valley girl when I was (much) younger! :w00t: I grew up in the San Fernando Valley before I moved on up to AK. I go back to visit family in the...

I'll be starting some of my own saved seeds in a couple weeks. The rest will have to wait until the seed order arrives in the mail.

I did manage to overwinter 2 plants (1 green bell and another...

This is a great thread! I've always wanted to tap birch for syrup and plan on giving it a try this spring, so any information out there for this newbie is very welcome.

I know birch sap is 100:1...

That is so awesome! You do beautiful work.

Yes, randy this time of year sprouts are my "go-to" green. They are really easy to grow and very tasty and nutritious. Not a whole lot left in the root cellar this time of year, but we still crave...
