    I have the full set of bowls with the largest being the size of the one your mother bought you. I use the largest to make bread dough. (six loaf recipe)
    7:00 Which shows me that planting mid summer is not a thing where I live. There's not a packet of seed to be bought! not even at the nursery.
    BTW you can plant parsley in late fall to grow the following year.

    Beans and peas add nitrogen to the soil .hence strong tomato growth.i do the same thing. I'm experimenting this year interplanting vining squash for cattle panel arches I installed a 1/2 inch irrigation tube above the arches. Keeps fire smoke off plants no bad things . Surprised cause I was told you have to water below. Above way better and air conditions my house when I open windows..double win

    Thanks so much for the explanation on the onions! I was wondering what are you doing when you started peeling them and wanted to scream noooo, but yeah, it totally makes sense. My onions bolted as well, seems I'll need to do the same. ๐Ÿ‘

    Check out Steve Soloman, author of "Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades" and either one of the founding fathers' of Oregon Tdrritorial Seed Company or a mere semi-contributor. Solomon has a strong and dynamic personality which led him to prove one could grow substance, back yard gardens north of Garden Grove, Oregon and seek short season veggie seeds. Each edition of his book is bigger than the previous and somewhere around edition 7 he caused jaws to drop while advocating little or no composted material in the garden. Very ear.y on he had excellent information about pests, viruses and illness including powdery mildew, and nutrition deficiencies. – I can't remember if it was him or someone else who recommended planting a strawberry plant or two every so many feet down the home vegetable garden rows as a canary in the mine to assess soil deficiencies. They tend to show up in identifiable forms which are all the more so identifiable because a lot of the indicator charts use (or used to use) strawberry plants in thier descriptions, drawings, and photos.

    I don't know if you spend any time on TikTok, but I started following funnyfarmdaughter and her mother's amazing canning skills! I think she has a youtube as well? Definitely recommend. And she recently posted something about preserving eggs that looked fascinating.

    Here's a tip to preserve basil: if you want dry basil, you need to harvest the flowers before they open and just spread them in a single layer to air dry for about 7 days. It will give you the best dry basil you ever tasted. As for the leaves, you can process them in your food processor with olive oil and store in small containers in the freezer (some people freeze it in ice cube trays and store it in ZipLock bags). I use both methods and use one or the other depending on the recipe I'm preparing

    I had a little giggle when i saw you go back and sweep, i knew you couldn't leave it.. Also, have you considered pickling your onions? They are the perfect size for that.

    OMG Becky! Harvest those pumpkin flowers when they are still closed and fry them! They're super delicious! Just search for "fiori di zucca pastellati" online for a recipe and you will eat something delicious! They're pretty common in Italy as a starter ๐Ÿ™‚ Great job in the garden, btw! ๐Ÿ˜€

    I love how you give lots of info and get right to the point without going off on a tangent for 10 mins or so lol. I still think you should get a couple of nigerian dwarf does for milk, cheese, yogurt etc lol.
