I have never tried using salt but the meat has to be done in a pressure canner, unlike a water-bath canner for doing most vegetables.

That is good to know about fasting. I do long intermittent fasting but drink the kombucha and now the kefir. Thanks for letting me know.

It looks like a lot of hard work to keep the trees trimmed. I hope you didn't hurt yourself with too many aches after all that. Have a wonderful, peaceful weekend. ♥

It was a big undertaking to prepare that garden. I can't wait to see how it all fills in and flowers for you. Well done!

Thanks, Edith I try to make the recipes simple and easy to follow. Be well and have a great weekend.

I do my best to find ways to improve my health and the fermenting seems to be working very well for us. ♥

I am so impressed @apanamamama I have been doing 2nd ferments with Kombucha but just started with the water Kefir. I like it so far but am trying to find the right combination of flavors. I have let some

You have a wonderful collection to enjoy, well done!

I love that they have cats at the ice cream shop. It looks like they have a lot of varieties to choose from. I would love a strawberry cone right now. ♥

There are four different reasons your pepper plants may have black or brown spots. It's typically the result of sunscald, blossom end rot, anthracnose, or bacterial leaf spot. Neem oil and baking soda

Nice to see you got a good harvest on the beets so far. I know it is a lot of work to put them up but boy are they worth it. Stay cool in this humidity and I love that Larry is enjoying watching the chippies.

I had to harvest the other cabbage as the white moths started laying eggs on them and I found some holes starting. Made fried cabbage and coleslaw out of them. There is always something to do each day.

I agree, growing your own vegetables is very satisfying.

I put it into the fridge when it starts to get a little tangy to the tongue. It will slowly continue to ferment in the fridge.

I agree, this year is my first time with this variety and it gets huge.

Perhaps it was the type of cabbage as I did not have to massage it at all. Usually with the regular cabbage I did. I have three more that are almost ready, yikes.

Yes, the large leaf helps to keep the sauerkraut under the liquid.

I usually do about a tablespoon or less to lightly salt the cabbage. I always use sea salt.

That is good news as I think the strawberries would do well in the tower gardens. I will have to find some this fall to plant. :-)

I think there are probably more mice and moles than that snake can take care of, lol.
