GM ☕️. It’s #coffeechain time. Enjoying some Chocolate Cherry Coffee this am. Smooth and yummy. #grownostr

GM All! #coffeechain Showing off that beautiful ear on this Artisan Rosemary loaf just out of the oven ❤️ #homesteading #baking #bread

GM All ☕️ #coffeechain. A gift from our local post office gardener a couple of years ago, Irises are showing their petals in salmon and shades of lavender #grownostr #flowers

GM All! It’s coffee time #coffeechain. Potatoes in bags waking up nicely 😁👋 #homesteading #garden #grownostr

Early potatoes 🥔 coming out. So exciting to to see these babies! That’s horseradish so big in the background. Tried neem oil for the harlequin beetles on them, though ended picking up insecticidal soap today. Hopefully that works better. #homesteading #garden #potatoes #grownostr

Greetings #nostr. Spent yesterday out starting a pear tree guild for two trees. Cardboard down. Compost and soil down. Clover seeds down. A little already sprouted buckwheat there too. Today was all transplanting brassicas (cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, collards, and cabbage) and some protective companions; lavender, sage, and oregano. Break time! #homesteading #garden #permies #permaculture

GN all. It’s been a rainy day, though a respite this evening. Taking the greenhouse overwintering Comfrey out to the porch tonight, before dividing it up outside among the fruit trees. Working towards permaculture guilds. Baby steps. #garden #permaculture #homesteading #grownostr

GM - Just out of the oven, 2 loaves of Rosemary Sourdough to cover next couple of weeks. Baked one in oval Dutch oven, and one in iron skillet. #sourdough #bread #homesteading #grownostr

GN #nostr Putting the sourdough in the fridge for the night and off to meditate and bed. #cat #homesteading #grownostr

Found horseradish leaves covered with these beetles today, nibbling away. Have them a good dose of neem oil spray to make them go away. #garden #homesteading #grownostr

#Garden day - almost 5 hrs, and got the plants 🌱 and seeds in two of the new raised beds. 2 kinds of onion sets, 2 types of parsnips, 5 kinds of turnips, 5 kinds of carrots 🥕, and 4 kinds of beets. All watered in 😁 after preparing soil last weekend. Looking forward to seeing them grow and then the harvest! Hope everyone is having a great weekend wherever you are. Off to fix some dinner, and it’s sourdough weekend, so, it’s stretch and fold for a bit afterwards. #homesteading #grownostr

GN #nostr Sleeping cat, sleeping Guinea keets, sleeping husband. Guess it’s time to start heading that way myself. 😴 🌧️🌱 Hasta 👋 #homesteading #grownostr

GM! It’s a Blueberry Pecan waffle morning, with leftovers for my dear husband. #foodstr #homesteading #grownostr

GM #nostr #coffeechain Taking the plunge this morning with Southern Pecan in the French Press. Sun is up and it’s a beautiful day. Expecting more winds today midday, so rolling out shortly to do what can in the garden. #homesteading #garden #grownostr

GM #nostr #coffeechain ☕️Getting started on planting root crops; putting in beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips, potatoes and some ground nuts (not peanuts). Excited to experience this one. Wishing you the very best for your day! Ground nuts are new to me, though long history. Per sowtrueseed.com, “Apios americana, also known colloquially as "Indian Groundnut," and by its indigenous name, "Hopniss," is found in indigenous diets from Canada to the Gulf coast. This perennial from the pea family produces both edible tubers and beans (seeds are edible but pods are fibrous!). Groundnuts can be planted with potatoes in the spring time. The vines can extend up to ten feet, with purple-pink flowers resembling wisteria from July to September. Fleshy tubers varying in size from one to eight centimeters in diameter can be steamed, roasted, boiled, mashed, or can be dried then ground into a thickening powder for recipes. A bit sweeter than potatoes, but with lasting heartiness, possibly related to the high protein content (3x more than a standard potato).”
