It rarely goes as planned and as some of you probably noticed, there was no weekly report on Sunday or newsletter yesterday. We have been at home with stomachflu so there has been neither time nor energy to write. But now we’re back on track!
Last week not much happened in the garden, but I sowed the first of the year’s seeds! It’s always a great feeling! It was chili, celeriac and leek. You can find more about chili in this week’s cultivation guide.
We continue to harvest leeks from the greenhouse and “shop” in the freezer and cellar. There will be a lot of beans, potatoes and carrots. I also got a nice head of cabbage out from under a lot of bad leaves. Often the core of the head of cabbage remains fine, even if the outermost leaves look terrible. I wish I had taken pictures or video, but that will have to be next time.
This year I have decided that we will not have a lot of home-grown food left in the freezer when the new season of harvest starts. It actually takes some time to adjust and primarily “shop” at home instead of in the store. There will be more seasonal food and less of the same all year round. This means that you have to think outside the ordinary, find new recipes and inspiration. Fun, but sometimes a bit difficult.
See you again in week 4!
Happy week!
