We are in southern Minnesota Zone 4b. The grey headed coneflower plants are just starting to bloom. #nativeplants, #pollinators, #minnesota. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…y7dm The garden amendments are diluted in water and sprayed directly on the plants. The spray application is going to be repeated. The water dilution is different for the different home made soil amendments. We have the book if you need to confirm a number. I also see Broadfork is gone. I hope they are gardening the old school methods, no computers. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators This will be a fermented Zhug in 5 to 7 days. The cilantro, garlic scapes, and parsley were harvested this morning before the heat. The fresh greens are about 1,000 grams. The salt is 20 grams. Five heaping tablespoons of fermented garlic were added. A cup of fermented red pepper mash was added. Lemon juice, fresh ground toasted coriander and cumin seeds, cardamom, black pepper. The mix smells lovely. #fermentation, #gardening, #growyourown, #zone4b, #minnesota https://files.epicure.social/epicure-social/media_attachments/files/116/704/270/851/107/654/original/a7cc1f89b9836b3c.png npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators An Indigo bunting pair, it’s a bird call out.

The dragonfruit plant looks impressive. Is it proper gardening to count your dragonfruit before it’s harvested? #growyourown npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…c5pz @nprofile…fvgq This interior photograph shows the rectangular wheat straw bales, the wire mesh, and wet brown clay plaster. Timber framing is visible around the door and above the window. The clay plaster is mixed in a tub mixer and then applied by hand. The ingredients are clay from the site, rough sand, wheat straw and water. One label is cob material. The window shows the wall depth when using wheat straw bales for their insulation properties. #cob, #Zone4b https://files.epicure.social/epicure-social/media_attachments/files/116/511/960/394/011/027/original/d178ba8df71f8b42.png npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…c5pz @nprofile…fvgq I will share pictures.

The greenhouse space is upgraded considerably with a straw bale cob building, a mini split heating and cooling unit and solar. This is our first spring with these. Our home is mostly off the grid. The utility company is the back up to the solar system. We have been planning for a solar system for decades. The panels, batteries, and inverter systems are better each year. The system capabilities took a leap. https://files.epicure.social/epicure-social/media_attachments/files/116/496/199/070/885/807/original/99d678a5d17501e6.png npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators April 30, 2026. Gardening journal. Thank you to the soil. The planned garden planting includes beans, beets, and chard. The best of the Hidatsa Shield beans will be planted. The biggest Hidatsa Shield can be sorted by hand and eye. The seeds for the beets, Arikara Yellow bean, and Cherokee Trail of Tears bean are from Seed Savers Exchange. The soil temperature is 11 Celsius. The frost warnings are for two more nights. #minnesota, #nodig , #zone4b, #indigenous, #growyourown, #gardening, #compost https://files.epicure.social/epicure-social/media_attachments/files/116/494/138/114/082/213/original/b1fd255f702f7abe.png npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators Saturday April 18th. Garden journal notes. The perennial nettle plant is wonderful. This harvest aspired to be steamed with sambal kelapa spiced carrots. This is an early green for southern Minnesota. Also the plant spreads aggressively by shallow runners and deep runners. Also the common name is stinging nettles. #nettles, #growyourown, #nodig, #compost, #minnesota, #Zone4b, #gardening https://files.epicure.social/epicure-social/media_attachments/files/116/427/063/289/882/268/original/17cd745f84a163a8.png npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…fvgq Thank you for sharing video of the home made amendments.

The bloodroot plant is a lovely sign of spring. The plants make happy colonies, spreading by rhizomes and seed dispersal. The pollinators appreciate the early blossoms. And later in the season the ants like to carry the seeds off as treasure. #nativeplants, #pollinators, #minnesota, #zone4b https://files.epicure.social/epicure-social/media_attachments/files/116/394/513/366/947/542/original/3c0f8572c87ab8c6.png npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…hqtq The gardening enthusiasts are part of the fediverse!

However, this is our first miso. We will see. #fermentation, #minnesota npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…aahc Oh very nice. There are many miso recipes to try and share. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…aahc The plan is two months for the white koji and six months for the red koji. They are fermenting nicely on the countertop. #fermentation npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…aahc Hello! There are chickpea and koji rice miso batches fermenting in Minnesota and Adelaide.

I added 75 ml of spicy garlic carrot stick brine three times over the day for 225 ml more brine. That worked. Then a plate and a follower weight. #fermentation https://files.epicure.social/epicure-social/media_attachments/files/116/258/859/503/709/195/original/4c2354c5b2035c6c.png npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…hgtt We are going to ferment some onions today. The Yellow of Parma store well. The Ruby Red less so. These are from the 2025 season. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…6kyk The dry stone construction method is sustainable construction.

Therefore we could make a tiny legume meal. However, our history is these are for the birds. npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators March 18, 2026. Field notes. The wind and heavy snow of the weekend covers native plants. This round headed bush clover stem is sturdy, often lasting two winters. This stem will return to the upright position as the snow melts. These plants have lovely winter color and striking seed heads. The seeds are attractive, they are small legumes. #minnesota, #nativeplants, #pollinators, #megafauna, #Zone4b https://files.epicure.social/epicure-social/media_attachments/files/116/252/825/727/448/102/original/55cbe5773615d28a.png npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…ny5q We hear one in the morning time in southern Minnesota. #birdcallout npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…axdz It was a hard day of transplanting plants with thorns.

The billionaires and fossil fuel industry are racing to raise the temperature. They are inconsiderate. #noai, #nowaterfordatacenters npub1qudsy6yhehzm7n0hzp2cj2j9k7v8pvvcjkjz5j6ewfzx0wtd4kgqfw6xjj Pollinators @nprofile…r6lk As you share. Without insurance you don’t move.
