?Our spring harvests are still looking a lot like winter harvests around here!
.
? No complaints at all, there’s just so much to love about cabbages, cauliflower and broccoli, and at least there’s a hint of spring with asparagus and snow peas to be picked daily. ???

▶ Follow @GardenActivist ◀
Sugar Creek, MO: A family in Sugar Creek, Missouri grew the beautiful vegetable garden in the photo above.They’ve been given four days to tear out the entire garden or face a fine.
Why? Because it is in their front yard, and city officials and a few neighbors don’t like it.
Nathan Athans said he planted the garden in his front yard because it gets optimal sunlight. His backyard only gets sunshine for about two hours per day, and only in certain areas.

Fermenting 3 cornered garlic – our favourite Spring weed. The plan is to make a garlicky paste for the times when onion and garlic are scarce, a paste which is also chock-full of probiotic goodness.
.Basically we gathered, washed, chopped and blended the leaves, adding a bit of 2% brine to aid the blending, and then added another two teaspoons of salt for good measure.
.Now the whole brew is sitting on our bookshelf where it will ferment at room temperature for a week or two until it’s sour and fabulous. Then it will go into the fridge to halt fermentation and get used as needed. That’s the plan, anyway. Based on previous experiments we’re pretty sure it will be great.
.Viva la lactofermentation! #permacultureskills #wildfermentation #eattheweeds

We harvested the rest of the potatoes today. I think we have enough to last the year. Last summer we grew way too much potatoes, but not enough carrots. This year we have lots of carrots, which is good because it’s my favourite vegetable in cooking. I enjoy this slow learing. It’s a practice in patience, growing food. I have to wait a whole year to give it another try. I’ll harves all of the carrots tomorrow, and I’m looking forward to it! ??? #gardenerslife #organicgardening #growyourownfood #permaculture #økologiskhagebruk #dyrkselv #potatoes #carrots #økologisk #kjøkkenhage ? -

Did you know that wood chips can be magical? It’s true. They may not look very exciting, but they are actually awesome…
.It’s the time of year to prune and chip the nitrogen-fixing wattles, planted in the orchard between the cherries and nashis and peaches and apples. The wattles sapwood has a special layer in it that fungus love (the ramial layer)… and when this is laid down as fresh wood chip under fruit trees, it hugely supports the fruit trees growth by creating healthy and fungally-dominant soil beneath it.
.And the pruning releases nitrogen from the wattles roots into the soil, too. Lo-fi organic orcharding with function stacking and closed loop nutrients. Come on peaches, we’re ready for you ? #Melliodora #permacultureskills

October is traditionally the time when you plant garlic. Each individual clove makes one…

October is traditionally the time when you plant garlic. Each individual clove makes one full bulb after about 7 months in the ground. There are two primary types of garlic that you are going to plant, hard neck and soft neck. Hard neck garlic has woody stem going through it as seen by my finger and on the bulb on the right. The soft neck garlic on the bottom of the photo has more of a layered stem that is never hard. Hard neck garlics typically need a colder winter and are the varieties that produce the culinary treasure of a garlic scape. The soft neck varieties usually do better in the milder environments and have a tendency to store a little longer. We are gonna plant both and will keep you updated about the progress! Have a great day All! ✌️? p.s. the purple hard neck variety is an Asian Tempest from @bakercreekseeds and the soft neck is an early California variety from eBay ? -

Last winter was my first time growing fava beans and the only regret I…

Last winter was my first time growing fava beans and the only regret I had was not planting more, so for this #throwbackthursday let me tell you why I’m planting twice as many this year.
Take a look at this picture, you might see a plant that is months away from bearing its first edible beans, and you’d be right, but there’s more to favas than just the delicious beans.
First of all, they’re easy to grow. Just pop the seeds in the ground in fall or winter and let nature do the rest. If you’re in a dry climate you may need to water them periodically.
As they grow the plants will actually take nitrogen from the air and transfer it to their roots, making is available for your soil and future plants.
But my favorite thing about favas is that the entire plant is edible! Now I wouldn’t recommend chewing on the stock or any thick stems but the leaves, young shoots, flowers and young bean pods are all delicious raw or cooked. Last winter we couldn’t get enough fava leaf pesto.
And that my friends is why we’re planting twice as many favas this year!

Harvested and krauting the last of the beetroots (grated root & chopped tops together) to make way for spring plantings…
.Chop it, grate it, generous sprinkle of salt, a bit of a massage and a bit of a pound (see stories), then once it’s weeping, into jars topped with a whole leaf to submerge it all. Leave it out on the bench for about a week, then taste and when suitably sour, eat with gusto or refrigerate for later. Simple and delicious probiotic goodness? #permacultureskills #fromtheearth #wildfermentation

?Our forest of garlic! ?
.
The bulbs are beginning to thicken up nicely now…. it won’t be long until harvest time! ?
.
This variety is called Italian purple.. ? and it’s a firm favourite for growing here. ? ?
? The tricky part is to plant the garlic early enough so that it can be harvested in time to use the bed for our summer plantings.??? Looks like we’re on track this year….

?Have a wonderful Saturday my friends! ??
