Hi Jess! So sorry that you had trouble with your goats, chickens and ducks! I've never heard of fermenting pickles, or anything else, except maybe sauerkraut, but have done this. I checked the link in the recipe for the crock and they were sold out then found them on the website. I may have to try this. Thank you for sharing!
check out Holmes seed company
goattastraphe LOL
Have you tried MIGardener for seeds?
Rolling laughing, I had a day just like that today, all day. But I did get some canning things done though. Glad it all worked out for you!
I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of this seed place.

Love seeds!!!
When my last Botanical Interests order arrived a few wks back, our son brought in from mailbox and yelled out to our daughter as he was bringing it in the house, "Hey Quinn!, Go wrap this for mom in Christmas paper so she can open it!!" Yes, it is always Christmas when a new seedbox arrives!!!
Ed Hume is a great pacific northwest company that my family has relied on for generations. Likely not a ton that is a good fit for your garden, but for people in "the frigid north," it's a great option as they specialize in varieties that thrive in our maritime climate 🙂
I’ve seen other you tubers ferment whole tomatoes. Maybe that would be a fun thing to do with your new crock.
Omg I love you!!! You’re family, your house and your garden is beautiful ❤️
I just got two seed orders in today. Oh the excitement! I feel ya sista!
Don't you grow fresh dill?! It is so much tastier!
My st bernard pins my cat an washes him till he's soaked or the rat terrier an the cat wrestle an body slam each other an play for hours,the most annoying before coffee is when the rat terrier an the st bernard wrestle an play an bark before coffee an during morning news.after news an coffee they can tear the house down!!
Hey Jess, those tannins are also good mixed with some water as a pre soak for tomato and pepper seeds.
Make a cup of black tea let it steep. Drink it or pour it out and then reuse the same bag for a second cup. The second batch of tea is when the tannins are released let this cool to room temperature and mix with water and use this to pre soak your seeds. This really speeds up germination.
I love coffee
We have muscadine leaves!
I heard to add a bay leaf for crisp pickles.
These multiple day blogs are so fun! It’s like keeping up with more of the fun things that you enjoy from day to day
Don't really have much success growing from seed. Only thing I successfully did was microgreens….
I've been making fermented whole pickles for about a year now and every time I've used a local orchard's grape leaves or foraged oak leaves I've dealt with mold. I cleaned the leaves with a vinegar solution first to mitigate that but it didn't do the job I guess. I don't have mold problems when I use black tea. I know surface mold isn't anything to be concerned about but I'd rather avoid it altogether. So I stick with black tea, which I always have on hand for kombucha anyway! Save the grape leaves for making stuffed grape leaves, and the oak leaves work great as a mulch since they don't break down much over winter and therefore are easily raked away when the first warm dry day of spring comes about 🙂
