What do you think: 1) should I let myself accomplish the tasks in any order as I feel like it during May, or 2) should I order the list in a certain way now and then keep myself to that order during the coming month?

You may want to stop the wild carrot flowering if you are intending to save seed from your own carrots. I don't think they will necessarily improve your carrot genetics very much. The above website describes them as woody and to use them for flavouring stews. I have heard that the seeds may contain a sunscreen oil and were chewed as a contraceptive (don't eat them if you may be pregnant!).

I've heard somewhere of making pickles with melon rinds. That said, I think that was a "sweet" pickle, as opposed to a fermented pickle, and sweet pickles aren't a healthy enough food group to want to be eating too much of!Rachel Lindsay wrote:(The other big waste item we have right now is melon rinds, but...other than composting those, which I already do, I couldn't think what to do to reuse those.)

My brother-in-law gave us a Ninja Foodi. I guess that's what they use, and have loved. I haven't used the pressure cooker yet, but one sister tells me I really need to. So I will, before May is over!Jane Mulberry wrote:What type did you get, Rachel? I'm thinking of getting something similar for my Bulgarian house which doesn't have a large oven/stove since the old one died. I'd like to see if I can find smaller lower-energy appliances to use in its place.

This is a reasonable conclusion to make. What about a rock pile instead? Make it look decorative - or like an Inukshuk of sorts:Rachel Lindsay wrote:Day 23: Create a brush pile near the garden for wildlife habitat.
I started this today, but I do not think I will continue. If I leave it in the front yard of my property, it will be an eyesore. If I remove it to the back yard, it will be nowhere near the garden, and will be unattractive unless I hide it behind the shed, where there is already a bunch of weird stuff.
