Oh, I forgot about the #tomatoes - I grabbed about a pound from the various indeterminates. The Romas are about to get ripe! The earliest of them are yellow now.
There’s a goth jay who lives in the big Doug fir in the pasture, and they’re in heaven now that this #sunflower is ripe. Between nice soft sunflower seeds and the scavenged chicken scratch, they must be running out of spots to cache food 😂
The established winter #brassicas are still doing great. No signs of whatever the evil white moths are sometimes laying on them - I think between the chickens and the wasps, they don’t have a chance. Pictured are Brussels sprouts, #cabbage, and #cauliflower.
I’ve got another planting of brassicas coming along in the grow tent inside. The warm weather should turn mild again tomorrow (I’m sorry if it’s 108°f where you live) and I think I’ll start hardening them off soon. Now that I know how tasty the chickens think they are, I’ll plant them in already caged beds. The newest ones are mostly winter cabbage, and I’m betting on a mild enough fall to get a nice late crop.

@gardening I’ve gotten the last of the #garlic hung to dry and replanted the garlic beds in winter #brassicas. And by Jove, I’ve almost grown my first ripe #tomato!
I’m not a fan of instructional videos in general, but I forced myself to watch most of a three minute video to learn how to hang the garlic. I’ll just leave the link here!

I ended up with one bed of Brussels sprouts, a bed and a half of cabbage, and a bed and a half of purple cauliflower. The Brussels went out last week and they transplanted fine and are gaining in size. Hopefully today’s babies will take hold just as well, and then all I have to do is defend them until winter. No problem 😂
I harvested some cabbages because the worms/beetles/bugs are multiplying like crazy & the cabbages are getting ready to bolt. Mulch your #brassicas with #wool. Way less bugs in the plants mulched with wool! #GardeningMastodon #food

Amazing colour on this Jersey Kale leaf.
Temperature changes may have stressed it.

Now recovering after my first proper gardening session since surgery. Achieved my priority task of pulling/digging up the white butterfly sanctuary aka the kale patch. Every few years I decide to have another go at growing brassicas. Every time I’m reminded of why I stopped in the first place 😆 #gardening #brassicas
Started hardening off some more #seedlings such as broccoli, beets, bok choy, and Chinese cabbage. #greens #spring #gardening #brassicas #foodsecurity #food #sustainability

@Rowley_leigh's 2020 book, No Place Like Home, features a lovely section on sea kale (Crambe maritima). Apparently it can be grown in the #PacNorthwest, but it's tricky. Anyone have any luck growing it around the #LowerMainland of #BC? #heirloomveg #Brassicas

These little guys have grown like crazy over the last two weeks! I think I will plant them outdoors in a low tunnel around March 1. #seedlings #GrowYourOwn #gardening #food #brassicas #greens

I have noticed that #FoodFolks are weirdly fickle about tech. Missing a certain amount of conversation I used to find, but I am committed to #CreatetheContentYouWantToSee
so here are a few #Food things.
I am #TeamPie
I once made cookies with antlers because #FoodHistory
I eat #leftovers out of a #delicup
#brassicas and #chicories are amazing
I am bad at #gardening but professional at #pastry and happy to share knowledge
I support local farms and that you #SaveYourSeeds
My #crudités are great

@gomichild Korean spicy #ramen, with pork dumplings, #brassicas & re-hydrated #fungus. Served with home-made #kimchi.

Who the fuck even does that? It's 100% edible FOOD, FFS...
(I've read that the leaves & stems of #brassicas are more nutritious than the florets, and I really hope #fitnessguy doesn't die from malnutrition and/or somebody running him over in the carpark.)
Hot take: romanesco is the most beautiful of all vegetables. #feast #brassicas #mocksgiving
