It's been 5 months since I've blogged. To be honest, I lost my mojo when autumn came. We got 2 new household members in October, then the holidays hit, then the snow and frankly, I've been pretty holed up. But the days are starting to get longer and I'm getting a hankerin'.
I did manage to kill my worms over the winter. I'm not sure if I should have taken them from under the sink when it got colder or if being under the sink with several household chemicals did them in, but they ceased producing castings and then...well, kinda dried up. I'm going to hit it again, this time with a larger bin hoping to be able to harvest castings in time for our spring planting.
I am looking forward to trying my hand at canning this year. I bought a book (which doesn't necessarily predict any activity on my part. I've also got books on raising Alpaca, making soap and keeping bees..none of which I've actually made any motions toward doing)and I'm planning to do tomato sauce at the very least. I've got this fantasy about having people from all over the community come and bring their harvests for "Put Up Days" where we all prep and can and freeze to our little hearts' content and then trade off goodies. Doesn't that sound fun?
