Today I found out that even with a salt brine for lacto-fermenting Everglades tomatoes, they still have enough sugar in them to let yeasts win the battle and turn the batch alcoholic. I knew some varieties of modern toamatoes were bred to be sweeter but these are supposed to be as close to wild as you can find anymore. Hmm, tomato moonshine anyone? #grownostr #growyourown #learnstuff …. Someday I’ll figure out what’s wrong with my other devices and actually post pictures with all this.
Then we’ll get more of the same ‘vid tactics of “stay home to save the environment! See how much you’re ruining the planet by using so much electricity you filthy first world spoiled brat!” - and that dialog ain’t far from actual stuff I’ve heard.
Yep, the folks I know who are, definitely do think that crowd is dangerously crazy and want nothing to do with them
Genius way to repackage the dried up slime at the bottom of the fridge crisper drawer where all the forgotten vegetable go to die and rot.
I’ll bet those would be good alongside an olive in a martini. Guess it’d need to be fermented first.
They are almost tart enough as they are to use for a garnish.
Needs those awful porn star dark aviator shades he often wears
Ye gads. They’re not even trying to obfuscate anymore. I’m sharing this here as these sort of things would turn my FB/meta (stopped using IG back in 2019) profile into a smoking digital crater over there. #grownostr #nevercensored #freespeech #sayiteveniftheyhurtyou

Or for those of us who tap the post button too many times when it’s slow (me!) and no one wants to see the same thing three times in a row.

I made this with MidJourney on Discord and ImgFlip which most just use for memes. If I was a graphic artist I would be using this tech right now, if I was a graphic artist not using this technology right now I would be pretty scared of my financial future.

Amazing how much difference there is between v3, v4, and v5. This looks like v3?
I got my degree in graphic design not long after the Macs came out with all the graphic design software. Even back then it was making much of what we did irrelevant. Been an arms race ever since. Unless an illustrator had an unique style, their jobs were toast. As for fine art, it’s helping people understand better that surviving and selling is marketing and not so much the art itself.
Yep. I didn’t make it very long on there. I let it slide soon after the nft thing. Yet another platform where I had hopes of selling my art that didn’t pan out. One of the crew (CXO?) was in the freedom cell I used to meet up with. In retrospect, it should have been a red flag to see how conspiracy nut/scammy he was in person. Long sordid story, but they were a big part of what tore up that meetup group.

Today we focus on three main plants and the progress of the garden as a whole. The plants we cover are...
Red Rat's Tail Radish
Tromboncino Squash
Mouse Mellon
I'll try to keep doing weeklyish updates on the gardens though the summer/fall.

Also, fwiw the radish pods generally do lose the purple and turn all green as they mature. The ones that get the most direct sun stay purple the longest.

What a coincidence. I just sat down to rest from gathering yet another load of radish pods, cleaned, sliced and now all set up in jars for lacto-fermenting. The first batch I did got put into the dehydrator and then ground up to make a radish/umami garnish powder. Saves space that way.
Understood, but hard to appreciate it when they eat the native anoles and green tree frogs. Fortunately my chickens like to eat the tadpoles and keep the population in check.
Apologies for the triple post. I wish the “post” button would gray out or do something to register the post when it’s taking time to actually post. #grownostr
Food experiments Du Jour. I bartered for some bicolor Shiso plants last year and didn’t realize how easily they re-seed. My lily pond was half hidden by Shiso volunteers, so I did some google-fu. Turns out the stuff makes an amazing tea and syrup. It turns a beautiful shade of fuchsia when a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice ups the acidity. According to Japanese tradition the now green wilted leaves can be salted and lacto-fermented then dried for a super nutritive addition to plain rice. Furikake is variations of this dried Shiso with sesame seeds and dried fish flakes. Because of the trace minerals and nutrients in these ingredients, it was essential to prevent “rice starvation” or beriberi in times of food shortage. I’m doing the keto thing so rice will not be on the menu. But, I did find out that dehydrating other lacto-ferments that didn’t turn out perfectly crispy will turn them into UMAMI BOMBS. My whole house reeks of failed ferments of onion, tomato, and radishes. The first taste test is pretty amazing. I can’t wait to see how the fermented Shiso turns out. It got me to thinking about ways to integrate dried lacto-ferments into long term food storage for extra trace minerals and nutrients in otherwise bland food. #grownostr #diy #homesteading #foodstr #growyourown
