Doing fine here. Finally decided to stop harvesting the asparagus but it was a fine season. We had some every day and plenty in the freezer.
The only other thing I'm harvesting right now are the wild blackberries which are VERY good with all the rain, some strawberries that I put in mostly for ground cover (they don't grow well here) and plums. Still waiting for the thornless blackberries to come in as they are loaded.
Tomatoes are doing well as are the potatoes. The corn looks, at best, just okay. Have no clue.
The big success story is some basil. I had tried to remove a rock but it turned out to be VW sized so I filled in what I had dug out. Ran into a bunch of basil seeds I'd harvested from last years crop and kinda spread them around the loosened soil and bingo, a huge number coming up and an inch tall.
Also started up some homemade kefir for the first time. Had bought some at the store a couple of weeks ago and had forgotten how much I liked the taste so I got some "grains" and have already made a batch. Gonna be a lot cheaper than store bought.
I hope we get some blackberries this year! Two seasons in a row with not much to show. That summer drought a couple of years back really set them back.
Okay could you give some more details on Kefir? Where did you get the grains, and how do you make your own? I was looking at Walmart to see if I could even find some just to drink, but nada zip nothing, so I will have to make my own or do with out.
I make my yogurt in a crock pot and once a month I buy one 4 oz container for a starter, then just reserve half a cup for the next week’s starter.
