All the world is a laboratory to the inquiring mind.

I finally found time to get the first of the January recipes up. I hope you enjoy them, they’ll “warm you up” without “filling you out”! I love cooking winter meals comprised of good things that grew in the summer garden. It’s so easy to freeze peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, broccoli, chard and more and have organic ingredients at hand for dinner time. No bland grocery store veggies here!
I tried something new today. It’s called “winter sowing” and you can read all about it at OurLittleAcre. I’ve grown self-sowing perennials, annuals and herbs for years by either scattering seeds in soil in late fall, sowing them in the snow or by planting seeds in pots that sit out, uncovered, through the winter. When early spring warmth arrives, the seeds awaken and sprout as they would if left to re-seed on their own. After reading Kylie’s post I decided to try winter sowing in milk jugs, too. I’m curious if the results will be the same…or better…than my “old” method. I’ll be sure to let you know…meanwhile why not try it yourself?
There are so many wonderful blogs I read that inspire me. Tonight I’ll finally add a blogroll to this site so you can visit them as well. Who knows what you’ll be inspired to try…
I’m so glad you mentioned Kylee’s blog! It’s always a source of inspiration to me, and besides that, she’s just awesome.
I agree! Readers, if you haven’t seen Kylee’s blog “Our Little Acre” please be sure to visit it. You’ll love it!
Interesting idea to sow seeds in milk jugs. Thanks Lisa for adding my blog to your blogroll.
Lisa, you’re so sweet to mention my post and I’m so glad you’re trying this! I hope you have great luck with it! It’s just a fun thing to do when you can’t get in the garden “for real.” And you’ll be amazed when spring comes and you see those green sprouts coming up when you look down that little hole into the jugs! Thanks, too, for your kind words about my blog. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you these last couple of months.
jodi, you’re such a sweetie and you’re always so kind to me. I treasure the friendship we’ve developed over the last few years.
