I bout some black sunflower sprouts and wheat sprout to cover crop our beds this year so the girls will get some fresh greens this fall, but I love the idea of planting them a lettuce bar. I started canning this year, but I’ve been reading up on water glassing and I am definitely going to try that once we start getting eggs in regularly
Thank you, I was already reading away last night
I was already a part of a couple local facebook groups, but a lot of the posts contradict themselves, or the people in the comments can’t agree on what should or shouldn't be done, and it doesn't seem like anyone monitors to make sure accurate information is given so I’m kind of excited to find all these articles.
We're so happy you've decided to join us
It’s been so fun to learn but it makes me sad that so much of the knowledge is lost. Both my grandmother’s passed away when I was little and my mom had no interest in learning so everything they new ended with then. I started buying books and collecting supplies so I could teach myself. Sourdough was the easiest for me in the bread family for some reason. Then I moved into pickling everythingHi and welcome to BYC
growing and preserving your own food is a wonderful thing. So is cooking from scratch. There are many of us who do that.
but quickly moved into jams, jellies and marinades. Last weekend I made pizza and pasta sauce and it was phenomenal.
There are baker's threads, recipe threads, home preserving threads and many more out here. I have two hot water bath canners, two pressure canners, a steam juicer and two dehydrators. Wish I could afford a freeze dryer.It’s been so fun to learn but it makes me sad that so much of the knowledge is lost.

I got everything to learn fermenting but I am still in the research phases of that.
Youtube has been my BFF lol
I have been looking at the freeze dryers too! I dehydrate alot. My husband and kids love the fruit leathers and jerkies, but I would love a freeze dryer. We are doing solar this year so I can’t justify buying a freeze dryer also, but I definitely think it would be worth the expense with all the food you could put up with it.
