Morning Gardeners Colder morning high 30's today.
Even turned the heat on.
Plants are in the computer room.

I successfully resisted planting yesterday when it was 70, now since it's 30 again I'm glad.

Ah, but craving sweets is craving carbs, which is energy booting, empty calories and short term, but still a boost. Sometimes sweets cravings is also a craving for salt (odd I know) or citric acid (sour). So I try to find it in another source.

What gets me is when I think I'm just craving carbs, but its only specific. Like just bread, or only bananas. I usually realize after a while there was something in there I needed, but it takes me forever! I try to remember to go through my lists of other healtheir foods with similar nutrition. Like beans, nuts or fish often solves the bread one. But it's hard to remember sometimes!

Today, I got 7 eggs from my 7 Red Star Hens. I will try making Tonnarelli egg noodle, and air seal them in a mason qt jar after they are fully dried.

I started freeze drying lemon slices for my lemon water cravings....

I found buying trucitrus lemon packs was cheaper for me than buying lemons. I buy a box of 500 packets at a time. They come every 3 months automatically. LOL

Ahhh, I'm freeze drying lemons from my lemon tree but I get what you are saying... I also make my own zest and freeze dry lemon juice into powder so I can easily add it to stuff too....

Try burying iron nails or other scraps in the soil. That helps my hydrangeas.

I buried old iron nails and crooked screws around fruit trees. learned that from my grandparents.
