Thank you both for the clarification. When I read Hans' comment, I thought to myself, "Hmm... Well, they look pretty alive to me!" Glad to know that Dead Nettles is the proper name.

...Sounds like a potential name for a "regenerative gardening thrash metal band."

Looking good! Happy to see you keeping the fermentation tradition alive! Sexy jar, too!

That's what they all say, until they try the real stuff.

BRK #506

The past couple days have looked a lot alike. There's snow first thing in the morning and sometimes overnight. The mornings look fantastic.





Then, 2pm rolls around, and all the snow melts.



I spent most of the day indoors anyhow, transforming the Classroom's classroom setting into a work space again. I think things look pretty good in there.



Also: I'll be off-site for the next several weeks. See you all in March.
