I finished my garden escarole with home made Cornish pasties, first time the crust was a success.
Today… raspberries and dandelion blossoms, grew one, foraged the other…

We canned 54 quarts of applesauce in September. As of this morning we have 11 left! My daughters are 5 and 1, so we’re making plans to can 100 quarts next year.

I wait until the lemon is entirely yellow. With ‘Meyers’ I wait until they are golden yellow.

Went fishing this morning… waded 3/4 mile of river… caught one black perch (rock bass)… had a couple other hits… felt like black perch too. Still to cool for the smallies I guess.
Did locate some really nice shagbark hickory trees… and found a few nuts still…
Some with nice broad shoulders…
The works of HIS hands…
One of about 20 sunk… the rest are bad.
Back in Dec was finding a high percentage of good nuts… but early March most were bad.

TN, if you find nuts laying around that late you know squirrels and deer know there is nothing in it.
@aap… Yes… I figured most of those were bad by now… 1 out of 28 good… March is definately too late for foraging hickory nuts…
But now back in December I found hundreds just laying out on the ground and 90-95 % were good nuts.
I am mostly scouting for shagbark trees at this point and found some nice ones… and one with larger and more broad shouldered nuts than most. May be a extra meaty nut… I will for sure collect more of those this fall.
Also… whether I catch fish or find good nuts… I just plain old love getting out in creation.

I ate some of my Rising Sun Fuji and some of my Idared that I had in my fridge since the fall. Fuji were better than the Idared.

the hunger gap kale, red vein spinach, and cabbage florets that all grew under the snow. (it’s been night freezes and warm days for a month now…) also early pea greens mixed in. then the last of the potatoes from the shed (I grow a bag in there over winter) and a single breba fig, from the babied plant that has two more figs on it ripening.
eggs from a neighbor. this was breakfast. it’s gonna be canned/dried stuff with some radishes and lettuce for a few weeks now. I canned a lot of elk stew last fall so that will hold us a while.
