Making carrot and coriander soup as part of #Easter dinner. You can tell it is an #English #cookbook by the shameful amount of #garlic. In this household garlic is a vegetable, not a spice. Or as @steggy likes to say “measure garlic with your heart, not with a spoon”

garlic!

This is our first year doing #garlic. A number of things we did in the fall did not really work out, so was very happy to see how strong and vibrant these are.

Ok. I need to give some vocal #gratitude to my #garden: that rich compost is nourishing 42 cloves of Sicilian #Garlic. They’ll be ready by July 4th. Hopefully shortly afterwards I’ll have tomatoes for a sauce.

I still don't know what I'm doing, but these plants look healthy enough to me? #Potato #Garlic #Gardening #Garden #Plants

The afternoon of April 4, 2025. This is a sample of what the garlic space looks like in the vegetable garden. The soil probe is eight inches into the soil. Most of the garlic is waiting for warmer soil before surfacing. These two garlic shoots have experienced freezing temperatures. This is a no-dig garden. #gardening, #minnesota, #zone4b, #garlic, #growyourown, #fermentation

Found in the fridge, going to plant them between the strawberries.

Beginning to look like a normal allotment, whatever 'normal' is....

GQT yesterday said that to plant outdoors, check for chickweed, man says if it is growing the ground is ar a decent temperature, stable and above 6-8C. None here at the moment so will wait to move out beans and other stuff, maybe, at the earliest, mid April.

Elsewhere in the plot, broadbeans are fine, also garlic and leek, some spuds are showing up, strawberries having a field day as I am moving them outside, in various places, theory being they'll spread and cover the ground, sort of weed contril

I remember reading somewhere online: Never use just one clove of #garlic. Even if you had a recipe called “how to #cook one clove of garlic” you should use 2.

Random #bitching...

I like #hummus. I happened to be at Sobey's and decided to get some, though it's not where I usually buy hummus. They had this brand, "Fontaine Sante" (sorry, I can't type diacritical marks), and I bought the roasted red pepper "classic natural hummus". It's this one:

https://www.fontainesante.com/en/products/hummus-rrp

It has the usual ingredients you'd expect - chickpeas, tahini, garlic, salt, lemon juice, oil - plus the roasted red pepper. Nothing unusual there.

And it's ... awful. Not only does it not taste like any hummus I've ever had, it actually tastes downright unpleasant. I'm going to end up throwing the nearly-full container in the trash, and I *hate* wasting food. And no, it's not past its best-before date or anything like that. It's fresh.

I feel bad, because it's a Canadian company, but this stuff is inedible. The brand I usually buy is Sabra, but they don't carry that at Sobey's, plus it's American. I can eat their stuff by the pound.

Anyone familiar with this Fontaine Sante brand? Is it always like this?

Tuesday March 18, 2025. A few garlic shoots are peaking through the leaf mulch. The soil temperature is 35 F (2 C) in the no dig vegetable garden. Garlic is our focus in the world of mutual aid. #garlic, #nodig, #gardening, #minnesota, #growyourown.

A simple drawing i had as backup since my pen tablet doesn't work yet :P

Un dibujo sensillo que tenia en el fondo del cajón de los por si acasos por que aún no tira la tableta.
