Ooooookaaaay Round 2! Transplanted all.of those morning glories that shot up into bigger pots.

Distributed Marigolds into Basil and tomato pots.

Got 8 cucumber shoots transplanted into their own pots.

Planted Hollyhock seeds and a varying variety of different tomato plants.

My craft room is over flowing!! I can't wait to get the greenhouse back up. Hopefully it will be done by April 15th!

Homemade Flour Tortillas!

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

1/2 cup lard, butter, shortening, or oil, room temp

1 cup warm water, approx. 110F

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, break the butter up into the flour mixture until it resembles wet sand, well incorporated.

Add the hot water to the bowl, and gently fold the mixture until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix or overknead, as this will cause the tortillas to be tough.

Once a soft dough ball forms, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rest for 20-30 minutes. Do not skip the resting! It is important to let the flour hydrate and gluten relax for a soft tortilla.

Once rested, cut the dough into 8 equally sized pieces. If the dough is too sticky to handle, work on a floured surface. Gently form small dough balls with your hands, and flatten them slightly to make disks. Lightly coat with oil, and cover with a kitchen towel or loose plastic wrap and let rest for another 15 minutes.

Preheat a skillet or dry pan on medium heat. Working with one dough ball at a time, flatten the dough with your hands, a rolling pin, or a heavy book and parchment paper until the tortilla is as close to 8 inches in diameter as you can get, pretty thin.

Cook the tortilla for about 30-45 seconds on each side, or until yellow gold spots start to form. If you're using the tortillas right away and won't be reheating them on the stove later, cook until golden brown spots form.

Place the tortillas in a folded kitchen towel to cool, allowing them to reach room temperature slowly and retain moisture. Store the tortillas in a sealed container, ziplock, or tightly wrapped plastic wrap for about 5 days, if they even last that long!

I love the diversity of self-sustainable life! I never have to do the same thing 2 days in a row! Every day I’m learning new things and gaining new skills, and each one I learn will provide me with a different option and gain in the future!

Last week I was all about canning sour cherries but this week I discovered some wild plums and figured I could make them into jam, so I started to get on that! But, then while removing seeds I realize they’re very watery inside, and that I could probably make a very easy freshly squeezed juice out of them, so I did! And guess what! It’s awesome! I got to try a new variety of fresh squeezed juice just because I accidentally discovered the fruit on my way foraging around! How cool is that!

And I’ll get a wild plum jam which is also an item that I’ve never seen, tried, experienced or is available at the store. That’s just neat!

I’m finding mint and rhubarb and eating cucumbers for the first time this year!

And then next week I’ll probably have bunch of tomatoes and will be trying out all tomato recipes I’ve been missing from last summer, and I might try new recipes too! And this year I will have enough green beans to try drying them, I am dying to see how that turns out. I’m already drying zuchinni because I found out this winter that it tastes incredible in a sauce!

And it’s not all food-related activities, last week I got some unwanted clothes from a friend, was able to keep some, and send some to other friends who I knew could use it - I also gained new sewing materials that way, and I could make another shirt now, or use it to put together a rug or a rope!

I also went looking into nettle more, and found out that old people used to use it to fight joint pain, and they would purposefully sting their wrists and ankles and pained joints with nettle, because it improved circulation and nerve function. I thought, well maybe that would work for me, and tried it on one wrist, and it was pretty funny because it only hurt for the first few seconds, and then my wrist didn’t exactly hurt that day, but it was prickly and weird and then I realized it was just one annoyance replaced with another, and this was probably a trick for actual old-age joint pain, not psychosomatic pain I experience. But I tried it and it was fun! I’m going to look into willow as a pain-relief next.

I also found out that in some cold climates, you can grow potatoes in the fall then keep them in the soil thru all winter, how cool is that! That’s something worth trying!

How exciting is that? Instead of having to repeat a job every day, to constantly be about new stuff, having a different type of activity and learning experience every single day? And all of the activities are volountary, if you don’t go looking for a specific plant or you don’t go planting it, you just don’t have that, and life goes on! None of it is punished, you cannot get fired, you make what you want to have and what you find fun to make. This is enriching life!

Just a boy trying to get his farm

[This is a sfw post outside of normal posting so if you're not interested go ahead or hi- if you're interested in fresh veggies just say so, that's why i'm here]

For those of you who do not know me, I grew up as many a thing, mostly- a farming boy. I have photos of me as a child in mountains of dirt, barrel racing, my rite of passage as a fourteen year old was chopping up my first tree into firewood for the winter.

Today I come to you as a simple PNW style southern boy who grew up simply, and wants to return to that.

My grandmother on the non-yeeyee side of my family, who raised me the other half of the time, NEVER understood what it was about me, dirt, bugs, and 'those damn boots'. -there is also a picture of me as a child brushing my teeth in my pj's and my pink sparkly cowboy boots posing as a gay man would as a female child. how did she not know- Anyway, I'm at a time in my life and my disabilities leave me to be able to do one thing.

Farm.

The problem is, even though I already have my winter crops sprouting, she doesn't believe anyone gives a crap about raising livestock and farm fresh greens. I also know how to run a 'bee farm', and I do landscaping as well. I also spent about a year straight on a hard-labor farm where I worked with breaking horses and I had a lot of achievements from that time of my life despite it coming from horrific circumstances.

This is a little all over the place and out of what I usually post, but out of sheer desperation to return to my roots and be able to make a comfortable living,

Is anyone interested in beets? I have potatoes and onions, fresh herbs, and I even can my own sauces. (surprise, did you know i'm also a trained chef? I've had a lot of work history for 21 y/o.)

Just trying to see on probably the most underutilized platform who has interest so I have a market to shove at my grandmother so she'll leave me alone and be my reference so I can get this dang land.

(Guts. Glory. Ram. That's the voice y'all gotta read this in)

Some of my Cucumber, Morning Glory, and Marigold containers:

My tomatoes were planted the same day as everything else, but none have even broke the surface yet. I really want to grow some of those zebra and black krims. Fingers crossed they are just slow to germinate.

Here are my Jalapeno, Serrano Chili, and Mixed Pepper plants (all planted the same day as everything else pictured):

Eggplant and Hollyhock plants:

I started getting my outdoor space cleaned up from a rough winter. It was incredibly windy in Wyoming this year. It's destroyed my greenhouse and most of the progress I made last year, but I got a nice head start on the cleanup on this set of days off.

I'm pretty proud of myself for being so far ahead on the indoor gardening season.

I noticed plenty of rosy red leaves during my morningly tomato-gathering.

I made a little wool foraging bag to wear on our belts/apron strings. it feels really nice and is the first thing I’ve made in a while that makes me excited about making.

the only downside is, when I stoop down to pick, my son reaches into the bag on my side and eats the tomatoes as quickly as I put them in 🥲
