"If I'm using a recipe card, I use them to hold the card on a cabinet door handle"... My dad got tired of seeing clothespins on door handles, so he made a recipe card holder for my mom. I don't have a photo, but it was pretty simple - a base piece of wood about 4" square (could be round too), an upright dowel to a convenient reading height, cut at a 45-degree angle at the top, and then a clothespin glued onto the angled bit so the clamp part pointed upwards.

My dad read “Stalking the Wild Asparagus” back in the 70s (?) and came to the conclusion that the author enjoyed any weeds with garlic and butter.

We found that buckwheat needs to be raked in, not just sown on top. Raking is enough to give it a bit of soil over it for good germination. I actually like that it seeds itself (or I pull the seeds off to save them) - it fills in bare spots and attracts beneficial insects if I let it flower, otherwise easy to chop and drop when small.

Thanks!

First time seeing the phrase “buy access to this content” - could someone please clarify? Am I buying a pdf or other epub format? Or just access to somebody else’s cloud version?
Thanks!
