We simply covered it with a layer of hay. We're glad it came through winter fine, but it really is time to get it all dug. After it is dug, it can be stored in the fridge sealed up for a time. We've been storing what we harvested in the fall in moist sawdust in a cool outbuilding. It can also be frozen. And we've been dehydrating it lately by peeling and shredding then drying. We use it in stir-fries and make a ginger/turmeric tea. It is a pretty new crop to us, though, so we're still exploring how to enjoy it.<p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942264005108679386.post-57024634582372702082023-12-14T12:18:00.000-08:002023-12-14T12:24:53.951-08:00Yacons<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ZGDbuXUs6wzVybWAiJlcYi1GcniTfWhza3bRLNpA47q7y2kjC5Rlz3jb10B769xjDWt1uJpkEXWdvY1G7gbpb8LyVxPseHnEL-wV91aYzrgZvC7OlWR5HZSbxG2JLKeWMKHgWDBSpeo-tE2FYRDBCLz613ERpWZLCltaKhxBerUN6PdyBhaU9ZmCeuqV/s4000/012.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ZGDbuXUs6wzVybWAiJlcYi1GcniTfWhza3bRLNpA47q7y2kjC5Rlz3jb10B769xjDWt1uJpkEXWdvY1G7gbpb8LyVxPseHnEL-wV91aYzrgZvC7OlWR5HZSbxG2JLKeWMKHgWDBSpeo-tE2FYRDBCLz613ERpWZLCltaKhxBerUN6PdyBhaU9ZmCeuqV/w400-h300/012.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">whole yacons, dehydrated pieces and slices of fresh yacon</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p>We mostly eat yacons fresh.

Che fruit is sweet but with no noticeable acidity, which appeals to some people but other people find uninteresting. (Our own family is divided.) The taste is sometimes reminiscent of watermelon. They look kind of like an extra-large, solid round red raspberry. They have no seeds or pit so the whole fruit is edible. All we've ever done with them is to eat them fresh as a snack.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942264005108679386.post-48859905339585039652023-09-13T10:21:00.000-07:002023-09-13T10:21:00.510-07:00Eggplant<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn2ooHR3BH8hqG0sK2PK9KyZTnrJIBFndrEoJuJTccRcl1IcSZzIY68CBNqQbl_tWpp_pY0nGWe1zZ9jkgytZlvMBPNV-0LbiVnxbw4wgjV_kUgNrGUc7gOYQ5GxmiH13J6cpAavNKKbaWa7H10qZIN23UI-sZGw9jDOtJV-KrxVjEdeEabGht7hESdHRI/s1620/eggplant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1215" data-original-width="1620" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn2ooHR3BH8hqG0sK2PK9KyZTnrJIBFndrEoJuJTccRcl1IcSZzIY68CBNqQbl_tWpp_pY0nGWe1zZ9jkgytZlvMBPNV-0LbiVnxbw4wgjV_kUgNrGUc7gOYQ5GxmiH13J6cpAavNKKbaWa7H10qZIN23UI-sZGw9jDOtJV-KrxVjEdeEabGht7hESdHRI/w400-h300/eggplant.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Antiqua, Rosita, Florida Market, Casper, Ping Tong Long</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942264005108679386.post-87000212254784009972023-09-08T20:44:00.009-07:002023-09-12T19:34:48.949-07:00Cushaws<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIuYz2n0XBGC5J3ti4kFLMqlNrejwr8WkBkVMRQnk3vvPMR-7a5wcOJKZo03nRoAvLhxLtxXm7bcnmEn9UDPDZ8PpQGhenrRZ_xxL4lho1pmmEkOr44xGx13jS_RUOOuflnCtCkdZkys2vrV6C3200dsNAulIMdKjnkycHtQyH5dgZjcNPDTlwVvIoRPJf/s4608/DSCN6971.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIuYz2n0XBGC5J3ti4kFLMqlNrejwr8WkBkVMRQnk3vvPMR-7a5wcOJKZo03nRoAvLhxLtxXm7bcnmEn9UDPDZ8PpQGhenrRZ_xxL4lho1pmmEkOr44xGx13jS_RUOOuflnCtCkdZkys2vrV6C3200dsNAulIMdKjnkycHtQyH5dgZjcNPDTlwVvIoRPJf/w400-h300/DSCN6971.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBJoSwe5W2WKbWvS8lbbtreAdzfXSTDFpg0NqqAlLa3tgpWBeaReM244YnDeQ5WwC4SqgFGG8BvOTOqET_Jv8CUnnJZZ6fQ_Om9HJyIrdTrjVjgtlx0yeBfEtBUuD1D_NgaBFfLXLfoMaSlNKstNy8tPWFpUnbeYneqm0VYCXxGys23UjZqnvxpfikV_c-/s4608/2023-09-10%20002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpl1i0Vija9JWBrL3Aj5QO3XHEvDPVLY6937ZlghlqbqCKet5xV_dBxFaw5gvJLyiavZDGzCNqJtP8gr5PLClhDi88AbYnBUx6N58DMSkxgXZkaCFDPnzEndKEgiOydBwjbi2SE3A60NENtWDtOI1COfnv6xo7zaZQ2bEC4AtvoTFE9DfLeXRTsuH99hWp/w400-h300/2023-09-10%20001.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrIt4YLFEM2GISVcri9xfWlv8T9Vn1NJAG1NgiUcZz6390yK_poB5pLTwy0AI5Ylx-JRXEBdCwMWBHpMS0Q6J-F_U2rIGhoqnvP1Js79KR9P5BgyjFMoWftiln5kzSWxBE3F9Y6lCdV0PH7yTNqqiosK_69xR0POuao_IiLD_keRJ7QXqI-avYoFdW_F6y/s4608/2023-09-10%20002.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrIt4YLFEM2GISVcri9xfWlv8T9Vn1NJAG1NgiUcZz6390yK_poB5pLTwy0AI5Ylx-JRXEBdCwMWBHpMS0Q6J-F_U2rIGhoqnvP1Js79KR9P5BgyjFMoWftiln5kzSWxBE3F9Y6lCdV0PH7yTNqqiosK_69xR0POuao_IiLD_keRJ7QXqI-avYoFdW_F6y/w400-h300/2023-09-10%20002.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia;">The seed for our cushaw pumpkins originally came to us from a friend in the Brushy Mountains (the same friend that got us started growing the heirloom field corn variety we've been growing every year for going on 20 years.) This variety makes large (mostly 10-20 lb) pumpkins that are kind of pear shaped. The skin is creamy white with green mottled vertical stripes. The flesh is much paler in color than other pumpkins (like the large Cranford Woodleaf pumpkins we've sold for a number of years) but we've really enjoyed them as pie pumpkins. We also enjoy them cut up into cubes, tossed with butter and salt and then roasted. The taste is also milder than other pumpkins. These cushaw type pumpkins have a fair but not outstanding potential storage life, maybe up to about 3 months.</span></div></div><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942264005108679386.post-58912441664549817952023-06-24T20:46:00.000-07:002023-06-24T20:46:53.282-07:00Carrots<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This week, garlic flavor comes in the form of garlic scapes and green garlic. <br /> Garlic scapes are the immature flower stalks of hardneck varieties. These are a really convenient way to add garlic flavor; simply chop them up and use as you would garlic -- there's nothing to peel or remove, but the entire scape is good to eat. But garlic scapes have a really short season. As soon as they start growing on the plant, they need to be pulled off so the garlic will put its energy into making a garlic bulb instead of a flower. So that means a lot of garlic scapes all at once. They do last at least a couple weeks in the fridge, but to enjoy them later, we've found a number of ways to preserve them. First, they can simply be chopped, put in a bag and frozen. Then when ready to use, just pour out the amount you need since they don't stick together in the bag. Another way we enjoy them is as a pesto. Process them in a food processor with other pesto ingredients then use fresh or freeze for later. Finally, garlic scapes dry well. Chop into 1/4 to 1/2 inch lengths and put in the dehydrator. Dried scapes can be added to soups or powdered in a coffee grinder -- we have a separate coffee grinder for spices that's never used for coffee -- for garlic scape powder.<br /> Green garlic is simply immature garlic bulbs. It has started to make a bulb but it is not cured (dried). Depending on how mature it is when it is pulled, the whole bulb and stalk can be chopped up. If it is more mature, it can be used more like regular garlic by separating out the individual cloves.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942264005108679386.post-81488946425616305052023-05-03T04:33:00.001-07:002023-05-03T04:33:27.739-07:00What to do with garlic scallions<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbPNnLfX9NRFk6YBtsFXzK6N727zQTRWBY25ZWSMOm46p1MZtNjO1i4Kc1GwMhUd8G4A8aoaqsVkOKvrcr9vdDs7QBeiBIf9RkKvu1y-RsNkpHiaz-eUoJoLHgFlOvvjaddRYxjDVfxpPgDxiwr7_IvUFPSeSOBKxj6LfOHNubXRTD8krXWQ3sb3-mxw/s3264/2012-01-01%20001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbPNnLfX9NRFk6YBtsFXzK6N727zQTRWBY25ZWSMOm46p1MZtNjO1i4Kc1GwMhUd8G4A8aoaqsVkOKvrcr9vdDs7QBeiBIf9RkKvu1y-RsNkpHiaz-eUoJoLHgFlOvvjaddRYxjDVfxpPgDxiwr7_IvUFPSeSOBKxj6LfOHNubXRTD8krXWQ3sb3-mxw/w400-h300/2012-01-01%20001.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /> Garlic can be eaten at all stages of its lifecycle. Right now, we're at the garlic scallion stage: long green shafts with a white tip and flat leaves. Use it as you would an onion scallion and you're on your way to delicious food. While it has a noticeably garlic flavor, it mellows quite a bit with cooking, which means you can use a good amount without overpowering a dish. Raw, on the other hand, it has a very intense garlic flavor.<br /> Chop it coarsely and sauté it to add to stir-fries, soup, or pasta dishes. It will take a little longer to soften than an onion scallion would. Or chop it fine in a food processor. Add some oil and salt as you process to make a pesto. This pureed form is easy to add to a roast, in soup, or anything you want to give garlic flavor to.<br /> To preserve, chop and freeze or dehydrate. You can also freeze it already sautéed. Or freeze the puree in ice cube trays for easy flavor additions.<p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942264005108679386.post-15512139650816732023-04-29T20:13:00.001-07:002023-04-29T20:13:15.742-07:00Bedding up the sweet potatoes<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> We bedded up our sweet potatoes a few weeks ago. The process actually began last fall when we set aside our sweet potato seed. We choose fairly small, well-shaped and blemish free potatoes then simply put them loose in labeled paper bags or cardboard boxes. We then put them upstairs in our house, which stays fairly warm all winter. This is not ideal for eating potatoes, but for the seed potatoes it works well to get them to start sprouting. Around early April, most of the varieties have about an inch of sprout growth.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm37fbItB50BktqSVFNxfU1KAY8bGxki5_RJfEbwHtXS9w0E9g6aAmkXdaslJc5o7EdoQe6rXUIUZLxqEY5EQwo980owl6CxbvIVO8N1kxsawIzpD59WgCtQwbKH6HOQ_qBW90BMJEimWPWrBwZunk09fnx3UyTQhB-qzxrjG659awoTze1pZT9lsH3A/s3264/2012-01-01%20018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm37fbItB50BktqSVFNxfU1KAY8bGxki5_RJfEbwHtXS9w0E9g6aAmkXdaslJc5o7EdoQe6rXUIUZLxqEY5EQwo980owl6CxbvIVO8N1kxsawIzpD59WgCtQwbKH6HOQ_qBW90BMJEimWPWrBwZunk09fnx3UyTQhB-qzxrjG659awoTze1pZT9lsH3A/w300-h400/2012-01-01%20018.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> The next step is making our bed. We simply place cinder blocks in our garden, making sure the distance between the rows is the correct distance for our storm windows. We then fill the bottom with a few inches of aged sawdust. Next, we lay out the sweet potatoes. They can go fairly close together as the goal is to get a lot of slips in a small area. We grow about 30 varieties, so we use corn cobs pushed into the sawdust to separate the varieties. We then cover all the sweet potatoes with 4-6 inches of sawdust, making sure the corncobs are still above the sawdust level. We then water it well and cover the bed with storm windows.<br /> It takes quite a bit of monitoring to keep the temperature within a good range for the sweet potatoes. If it is going to be quite cold in the night, we'll add some blankets on top. On sunny days, we take every other window off to vent it or remove the glass altogether. It can get really hot really quickly if the glass is left on and we've accidentally burned sweet potato growth that was even an inch under the sawdust. It is also important to keep it well watered.<br /> From making the bed to having slips to start cutting takes about a month or so. Some varieties are really quick to slip while others are very slow. For the slower ones, we plant extra potatoes to make sure we have enough of that kind at planting time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> After we've cut all the slips we need from the bed, we usually let it keep growing all summer as we cut sweet potato greens from it. They are a delicious cooked summer green. Then in the fall, we clean out the bed, spreading the sawdust on the garden, feeding the old sweet potatoes to the goats and collecting any newly grown sweet potatoes to eat. We often re-use the bed for multiple years, but we always put new sawdust in it every year to prevent any possible disease carry over.</div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg55Afb7jT8kHxV3brdBOsLOgJ7QZjheWl5eFhH3JDHsANSn8YLiLjCSODj3fPSLC5Eu5xTVYm5qyQF780ZyE-lknrvfrAWFSgvvOeoYpw1_ayPYzs3qaAnbuv77NazXOndnud8jUqSo8aZbfAd7gwYT6IIwrvyIi5xzZQ_iUkux5aV26LeAwKws4hE4Q/s3264/2012-01-01%20017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg55Afb7jT8kHxV3brdBOsLOgJ7QZjheWl5eFhH3JDHsANSn8YLiLjCSODj3fPSLC5Eu5xTVYm5qyQF780ZyE-lknrvfrAWFSgvvOeoYpw1_ayPYzs3qaAnbuv77NazXOndnud8jUqSo8aZbfAd7gwYT6IIwrvyIi5xzZQ_iUkux5aV26LeAwKws4hE4Q/w300-h400/2012-01-01%20017.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
