A surcie from Sleevendog...Welcome to California, yeast & seeds!

3 years ago

Once the envelope got a little rubbing alcohol spritz, I opened the envelope that had travelled across the country! Guess what I have in my hot little hands? Yeast from sleevendog, *and* also the wonderful surprises of seeds (with cute round labels)! Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and thoughtfulness! I'm so excited!

Thank you for the delightful surprises! I am enthralled with the pea shoot blend that includes Feisty, and am looking forward to planting the Red Rambo Radish and the Red Acre Cabbage as well.

Thank you thank you thank you so very much!!!!!!

Oh, what a nice surprise!

Red Acre cabbage? I have Golden Acre cabbage, I wonder if they are "related"?

Enjoy your seeds and your yeast.

If you use a saucepan type Foley food strainer with the crank on top, its usually easier to soften them. That design is very slow and today the side crank type food strainers are much more efficient. You do NOT need to cook the tomatoes, or even expose them to any heat whatsoever to fun them through a Villaware/Roma strainer. I usually will cut them in halves though, just to dig out some of he watery liquid and some seeds. Doing this easy step helps to give a thicker sauce, which would probably need less cook down time. The exact same question has been asked here many times in the past, and some people insist on cooking or blanching tomatoes prior to straining. It is not necessary and is just an extra laborous task that can be eliminated. The food strainers will remove all seeds and skins, and these get pushed out the narrower end of the conical sieve. For a harder thing like apples, it does make sense to partiall cook them but even there you can leave skins on, but dig out the seeds. Apples are quartered, and seeds removed, then a partial softening will help to get them through the strainer. This method is for apple sauce. If your not familar with a Villware/Roma fod strainer, suggest that you do a search for the word 'Villaware', as it will bring up thousands of posts, as well as photos of the machine.

The mix that I made and sprayed may have deterred the Bermuda grass a bit, but it enhanced the growth of other leafy green plants that are not necessarily natives as well. Since the Bermuda is mixed with these other plants, it is a little difficult to see. I've decided to continue to dig it out where possible and over fertilize where it is growing through the pavement to 'burn' it out since it has set seed. At this point, I feel the spray may have been more effective if I had been more persistent with its use, at least once a week. Terran

Morning all! Fran, I put in a bit more postage than what it was for me to mail my package to you. I don't think that I'll get back what I sent because we have a lot of veggie growers here, BUT if by chanace you dont have enough postage I'd be happy to send more if you need it to get my package back to me. I'm so glad that I bought the veggie seeds, I could almost hear how excited people were when I offered them up for grabs! Thank you to anyone who sent flowers in for me, I assure you that every single seed will find a good home. Lisa

A fun candy to have ingredients on hand & pull out when you have a group of people hanging out together. When my kids were younger their friends loved to make this & take some home to their family. Of course, eating mistakes is part of the fun! Christmas Pretzel Reindeer Recipe *fun for kids of all ages to make & eat! You will need: Pretzels (2 inch size work better than the ones that are dollar coin size.) Melted White Chocolate/vanilla almond bark (your glue) M and Ms Whole Almonds To make a reindeer: 1. Melt some white chocolate according to directions on the package 2. Lay the pretzel on a sheet of parchment paper 3. Fill the three pretzel holes with white chocolate using a teaspoon. 4. Place matching M and Ms in the two smaller holes for eyes setting on white chocolate. 5. Place a red M and M just below the eyes, in the larger space, for the nose. 6. Put almonds for ears above the eyes and a little to the outside 7. Break pretzels to form antlers and set then between the ears. Let it set up & store in an airtight container. I couldn't find a photo of it this morning, but found one on someone's blog. The angle of the antlers make each one slightly different. Here is a link that might be useful: photo of reindeer treats

Sooz, that was really generous and sweet of sleevendog! You'll love the red acre cabbage, they grow fast and are tasty, and the stems are purple : ) The leaves are tiny, and make a nice crunch. I think Johnny's has the fiesty seeds back in stock, in bulk. I have so many Thomas Langston peas I'll have to wait awhile to buy more peas. I ruined my gift packet of fiesty by letting them soak 3 days, they turned to mush, sadly.

Whatcha making with your yeast?

Thank goodness it made it, 😜

I think shipping may be back to semi-normal.

It is a pretty micro. I don't grow cabbage in my summer garden. Takes up so much room and cheap in my markets. Micros all winter pack a very healthy punch. Much more than market grown.

Please remember, those I have sent....these seed kits were for charity Fall/Winter/Spring seed kits. Some make cookies, cakes...I make spice blends, salsas, and micro kits.

My employer, when I worked, paid for all of it. Gave me a P-card. ...They are cost/money so dumb. They gave me 500 a week, lol. Oh no, I spend 500 a year. Buying bulk. They paid for my freezer. I'm straight forward honest. 90% goes to charity, 10% re-stocks. 5% is in my spice cabinet. Win-win.

If I send you seed, I have not paid for it. It is paid by my work p-card. My work does not care how I share it.

For the record as most might know now, NewYorkers are abrasive straight forward. No BS. Say it, straight forward.

If you follow my NY governor, Cuomo, we are are he says, no BS. Follow the facts.
