The afternoon of April 4, 2025. This is a sample of what the garlic space looks like in the vegetable garden. The soil probe is eight inches into the soil. Most of the garlic is waiting for warmer soil before surfacing. These two garlic shoots have experienced freezing temperatures. This is a no-dig garden. #gardening, #minnesota, #zone4b, #garlic, #growyourown, #fermentation

Un dibujo sensillo que tenia en el fondo del cajón de los por si acasos por que aún no tira la tableta.

Chefs, cooks, I need your help. I am looking for an accurate, simple chart for measuring the various forms of #garlic and #ginger. Minced vs powder, for example. I am looking for a chart that YOU yourself have used. There are a ton of them on the Internet and the advice varies. #cooking

#garlic planted at the very last possible moment last fall is starting to break ground.

This is on some new property we've not really started on yet and the pH is in the low 5s. This bed got heavily amended with rabbit manure and we'll do foliar fish fertilizer as well to give them a boost as they grow out. I was obviously advised to Lime but it's way too expensive and I am more interested in working with the biology to buffer the pH instead. It's a slower solution but I believe the right one for us.

January 19, 2024. The garlic ferment is on day four. The heady scent of fermentation that echoes roasting garlic is just starting. The last of the 2024 crop is all in the fermentation vessel. This is an annual gardening milestone! The individual garlic cloves release the skins easier after a few minutes of blanching. #fermentation, #garlic, #kimchi, #minnesota, #growyourown, #gardening, #nodig, #Zone4b.

January 6, 2025. Fermented hot sauces are still important. This is Sosu from the Kirsten Shockey book. The paste is the balance of our 2024 hot peppers, fermented 2023 garlic paste, palm sugar, and fish sauce. The fermentation started October 24th and ended today. Some of the hot peppers were sun dried so the flavor is wonderful and complicated. It’s got more heat and less sweet than gochujang. #fermentation, #minnesota, #growyourown, #gardening, #nodig, #zone4b, #garlic, #Gochujang.

I harvested my tiny crop of garlic today. Look at those wild curly flower stems! I grew just 6 garlic plants this year, in a repurposed recycle bin, and got larger bulbs than I have got growing them in the ground. These are from hardneck garlic that I bought from Twisted Citrus two seasons ago. I took the last six cloves from my crop last Fall and planted them.

December 1, 2024. We are processing raw chickpea hummus to enjoy later. The green chickpeas have been sprouted. The hummus will ferment on the counter to blend the flavors. The garlic and Rempah are garden fermentations. The tahini and dry spices are from the store. #hummus, #growyourown, #garlic, #Rempah, #minnesota, #chickpeas

Garlic has been planted and tucked snugly beneath some hay for the winter. 48 cloves planted! Had to buy a few bulbs this year to supplement the harvest for planting, but hoping this year to have a good enough harvest to be self sufficient!
