This is primarily genetic but if you have soil deficiencies it can cause this as well. When I was truck farming I sent a soil sample from every field every fall after the harvest. It is not very expensive and they can tell you exactly what and how much to add to the soil for over-winter. The soil was then perfect by early spring. A good lab can give you additions in organic or salt and sometimes long term recommendations like rock phosphate etc. I would highly recommend any outdoor grower in native soil start with a lab analysis.
I built an ice chest sous vide cooker. It cost me about $185 to put together. That is less than an electric water bath canner. It holds at least 12 pints with precision temperature control to pasteurize my pickles. It is also a big enough sous vide container to handle 3 full pork spare ribs at a time. I have not done spare ribs before because my container was just too small. I just pieced out a spare rib slab into four - 2 person servings, applied the dry rub and sealed them in individual vacuum bags to tenderize for at least 12 hours. I will sous vide them at 145°F for 36 hours. Then they get refrigerated overnight before grilling one of them with some sauce over a very hot fire. The others will go into the freezer as an MRE that can be eaten as is or finished in the oven or grill to get a bark. The recipe is from Serious Eats. There are many time and temperature combinations possible, this is his favorite.
Bacon and egg sandwich, fruit, granola yogurt mycelium, and a great double shot.
We were so hungry when we got back from the winery that a BLT with turkey was the fastest thing in the frig.
My mom got cupcakes from 2 places the other day and u gotta bring your own container so by time she got home she forgot which cupcakes came from where! 1 place they were bomb and other place was old and dry! She went back to get more 2 days ago and once home we realized she had mixed the places up and bought more nasty dry ones so went to the other place today! They are super fresh cupcakes that look like they were just extras from what was baked for the days supply! Pretty sure i got strawberry, chocolate with pink icing, double chocolate, and red velvet! Told him how bomb the carrot cake was the other day and since i bought some empanadas too he tossed me a carrot cake in!
Latest Farm Progress:
This month has been a serious struggle with cars breaking down, tractor tire problems, and various other financially and mentally draining things... But I am trying to keep it together! lol
Bought a new car... finally got it.... 6 days later the head gasket blew.... had to fix up the old car so it would pass inspection glad I kept it...
This whining is really just to remind you all... we all have tough days, weeks months, years... but we alos have food, a roof over our head... and live reasonably well and happy... there are many in the world with NONE of theses "luxuries". So when I have a tough day.... I always try to come back and remind myself of this.
