Carrots in Love

Photojournal:  A fun find.  Intimate produce.

Harvest Happens

There was a bit of a small hiatus of my blogging habits.  Harvest happened.  The kitchen is full of canned goods and lots of fermenting beauties.  

On my fermenting shelf right now is 2 different kinds of green tea kombucha, 3 bottles of apple vinegars, 1 jar of pear vinegar, 3 jars of smreka (fermented juniper berries) and a wild cultured cheese that we have been able to make (first by accident...and it's delicious and is very similar to a hard cheese or mozzarella before being pressed).  

We began a 6 gallon batch of pear mead.  It's bubbly!!!

I pitched it with honey yesterday and it went crazy.  Can't wait to bottle this and let it age for 6-12 months.

Herb Garden Planning

Before tending the soil or even setting our feet out into the still cold air, we pine over seeds, journal, books, plans, hopes and dreams.  

I don't like to do anything in an uninspiring atmosphere.  A floor pillow, a pot of hot tea and some beauty is what I need to get my focus.

Various notebooks for various stages of the planning process!
1 - Holds my todo list.
2 - Holds my ideas, hopes, goals, notes from books that I read.
3 - Holds the lists, schedules, folklore and doodles in a pretty format... the journal... the garden journal... the master!
