We make about 6 cups which is the max our machine can handle. We store the batch in a loaf pan which works pretty well. Our favorite way to store the ice-cream is to reuse Oui yogurt cups, but it takes so long to fill those suckers!

A couple months ago, I finally had enough of reading ice-cream and “frozen dairy dessert” labels at the store. Finding real ice-cream without artificial additives and cheap ingredients is becoming increasingly more difficult. So I bought an ice-cream machine and have been making ice-cream instead. A little extra time and effort is totally worth the delicious results. So far we’ve tried chocolate/caramel, banana/rum, blueberry cheesecake, and maple with various additions. I haven’t quite made the time for custard style recipes or anything exotic yet.

Who else is experimenting with ice-cream? What are your favorite recipes?

I know how that goes! One shopping trip and $75 later, I’m wondering when will I ever plant all these seeds. I finally planted 2018 micro greens, spinach, and arugula a couple weeks ago. The seedlings are just starting to come up. Last year, I planted some cucumber seeds from mid 2000s and a few actually came up! 😳

I search for sprouts multiple times per day!

This! Back of the envelope calculation shows that the #Bitcoin network uses less energy than Americans use to dry their laundry. For all that energy, which one is more useful? 🤔

I used very large chips we had left over from clearing a portion of our property a few years ago. That worked well and I was glad that it lasted for three years without major decomposition. Seemed reasonably good at deterring weeds too, except at the edge of the bed. I topped it off with smaller chips this spring.

In 2021, I gave one acquaintance an opendime with 0.002 non-KYC Bitcoin, and he promptly added it to his Coinbase account. 🤦

Garden News:

The first flowers on the tomato plants have opened. Both were on the Super Sweet 100's.

I found two pepper fruits. One is one a Jalapeno and the other is on a Cherry Hot.

I found one of my tomato plants dead. After further investigation I found a cutworm. 😞

SS100 are the best!

Absolutely love the scent of these. The color is not bad either.

Anyone have a good alternative to perennial grasses for covering large areas? Anything fairly robust and low maintenance?
