Re-potted the apricot seedlings into 10” pots over the this past week. Some had succumbed prior; and a couple didn’t survive this round, so down to 11 healthy looking specimens.
Soaking overnight in the cast iron Dutch oven is a mix of home-grown dried lima, navy, Great Northern, and white greasy cut-short beans. Ham bones and scraps are ready & waiting in the fridge. A can each of black beans & red kidney beans; bacon, onion, tomatoes, molasses, and some other odds & ends will round out the mix.
They’ll cook all day tomorrow on the kitchen wood range; with temps down to 0 & a forecast high of 12, there’s no way it won’t have a fire in it!
That sounds great. We used to have a wood stove (not a range). After we finished the basement, we had no place to put the wood stove. I miss it though when the weather gets cold.
