Spring Gardening 2025 โ€“ How itโ€™s going


Early May is less than 3 weeks away, and a lot of planting is going to happen! I've got my community garden plot and my own backyard container garden for vegetables for the family. I started planning back in January. I set up that my goal would be to grow mostly vegetables that are storable - either by canning or just putting into the basement like a quick and dirty root cellar setup. That allowed me to figure out what to plant, based on the community garden plot and in containers. I also [โ€ฆ]

Michael / Chgowiz reshared this.

So, just in case, I downloaded the entire USDA guide to canning. I refer to it every year when I can. I expect canning more things this year and want to make sure I have access to safe instructions. I'm afraid it might get DOGE'ed

Today was sourdough baking day. Mrs. Chgowiz and I had two loaves in the fridge, ready to go after taking a "Sourdough 101" class on Wed.

Lost track of time on the first loaf, didn't hear the timer go off, so the crust got a bit toasty. The second one turned out fine. Can't wait to cut them open and eat them tonight!
