This is for sale, not just for home?

[-] tty5@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

I don't sell any. What we don't eat gets canned

~2000m^2 / half an acre.

It was a meadow slowly overgrowing with random trees 5 years ago, so it took quite a bit of effort to get there

Holy wow. I’m curious about the tomatoes, do you can them for sauce? I used to freeze mine with decent results.

I started making sun dried tomatoes and store them in olive oil, however I also am planting more tomatoes than last year so any suggestions/tips you’d like to share :)

With tomatoes as primary ingredient we make:

  • passata
  • pizza sauces
  • pasta sauces
  • salsas / nacho dips
  • sun dried

and they are added to a bunch of other things - e.g. some of the pickles

I would love to see your process, do you stream, at all?

full time job + garden + restoring the house I live in.. there aren't enough hours in the day

~~What's in the bottom left? Lemongrass?~~

Onion. Nice.

[-] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

unless you're selling it, you won't ever need to grow lemongrass more than once in your entire life.

last year I got enough to harvest and mill an entire 32oz mason jar of lemongrass and still had enough stalk to freeze. all from a 1ftsq plot.

tempting to start extracting oils from it though.
