i love this thread, sitting in front of the fire thinking about what to grow this coming season and trying to figure a way to grow the stuff i use daily, plus the ongoing effort to change my diet to a more sustainable healthwise practice. thanks for this thoughtful thread even thou some is older posts, still valuable info. i feel i am always late to the party.
sunroots still in the ground i did hack down the stems but have't cracked the ground. never cared for their taste but a beautiful flower and makes a nice screen. i did produce sweet potatoes but they tasted awful like awful awful. shocking failure and after finally getting a crop it is awful! so disappointed I love sweet potatoes.
i still have carrots and potatoes to dig will but what i really want is greens... tender leafy greens crisp lettuce! been toying with growing micro greens in the house. been looking for garbage to repurpose into growing trays. trying to figure how to produce soil to bring into house that is not crawling with life. I hate for my earthworms and rolly bugs to get lost in the house.
think i need to plan the fall planting of cold hardy crops. been thinking need to develop a cold frame growing effort. i love kale but really must be more than just kale for cold growing?
i have amazing sweet corn in the freezer that i timed out on, loved it but the glut curbed my appetite, no glut now but still no desire to eat it perhaps i will thaw and slice off cob into a stew.
i have little taste for canned, fresh and nearly raw is my prefered version of my veggie centric diet
i feel so wealthy with a lemon and lime trees roosting for the winter in my garage loaded with pick at will fruit.
i have scrounged firebrick, vent tubing and a barrel i want to begin building my first rocket stove to warm a little greenhouse. with a heated bench i think i could start my own tomato plants.
