Quail Eggs! Tiny little delicious orbs packed with nutrition!
Did you know quail eggs are packed with some antioxidants and nutrients far beyond chicken eggs? 2x Iron, 1/3 more calcium, more protein, and much more Vitamin B. They are also high in HTL cholesterol, which counters bad LTL cholesterol. They have, Lecithin and Selenium for cellular repair, Choline for brain health, Ovomucoid to inhibit tumors, and Beta-Caratone (lacking in chicken eggs) which blocks free radicals and slows cognitive decline. And more! Look it up!
Don't give up your chicken eggs, but adding a few quail eggs to your weekly diet could make a huge difference!

So, it is the end of the season, and there is a mountain of gathering, cleaning, processing and storing to do. Today I have been dealing with BEANS. You know, all those green beans you let go to seed to cook up with a nice rib or simple hotdog on some winter day?

But this year, I cannot help but be concerned about a lot of things for a lot of reasons, and want to be as frugal as I possibly can. Fuel, food, everything is going sky high. You hear about the shortages of so many things, including grains. Not just for us, but for our animals as well.

So, okay, the chickens are not laying because they are molting, but I still have to buy cracked corn and grain for these VERY hungry birds, but the price may go up substantially because there is a shortage of soy beans. Well, soy is a bean, and I have an abundance of beans. Rather than just shell the beans and toss the pods to the compost pile, I decided to get the most out of them. This plan feeds us, the chickens and the house plants throughout the winter!

Shell and dry the mature beans to cook up for yourself. Eat the young beans, Put the shelled bean pods and in-between beans through a juicer and dry the pulp to feed the chickens greens in the winter.

Pour the liquid from the juiced beans into ice cube trays and freeze and use as a fertilizer for houseplants.

ZERO waste. Thank you, humble bean!

We went a little nuts when we heard seeds were considered "non-essential", and we planted about every one we had. We have tomatoes (20 varieties total), Hot Peppers (Cayenne, Jalapeno, more), a few Sweet Italian Peppers left, a limited number of vegetables (Squash, Okra, Celery, Cucumbers, Pak Choi, more), and herbs to include medicinal, culinary and garden helpers, as well as a few flowering plants.
Also have a few specialty plants by request:
Herbs: Arnica, Ashwaganda, Chervil, Clary Sage, Elecompane, Feverfew, Lion’s Ear (these are now over 8 ft tall), Lovage, Dwarf Moringa Tree, Perilla, Spilanthia, Tansey, Tulsi (Holy Basil), Yarrow.
Peppers: Ghost, Red Habinero, Tunisian Baklouti, Aji Colorado, Aleppo, and my own Mutts (Flavor of a habanero without the intense heat-4th generation).

Been working on salves and tinchers for a while to aid our ailing bodies. My sister encouraged me to jump into butters, and after a bit of trial and error, came up with a couple that are really nice for us. Seems a bit oily at first, but give it a few, and it has really been helping us. Just melts into even George's skin, which is about as close to armor as you can get.

Been playing with salves and tinchures for a while now to help with our aches and pains, but my sister encouraged me to try my hand at butters again. Came up with one we are enjoying. Just melts into the skin, even George's skin, which is about as close to armor as you can get. A bit oily at first, but give it a minute....All soaked in and supple. Butter made with Cocoa, Shea, and Mango Butters, Coconut, Jojoba, and Almond Oils, with Lyang Lyang Essential Oil.

Ok, call me nuts, but I am pretty excited about this... I have been trying to grow the "super hot peppers" for years. Started Ghost pepper seeds February 4, and noticed sprouting on the 10th! Transplanted 30 beautiful little baby's today. Now I just have to keep them alive and flourishing in northern Vermont in the middle of February. The capsaicin in these peppers are helpful in many ways: heart disease, blood pressure, cholesterol, formation of blood clots, and possibly even cancer. Not to mention, they just taste so darn good!

BEES.
Checked the hives a couple weeks ago and gave them sugar water. I was very happy to see them so active, and they seemed to be handling the fall "raiders" nicely with the reduced opening. The sugar water was almost out about a week after that, so I gave them more. They were not as active as the prior time, but it was also quite chilly, so no big concern. Went out Sunday to check for mites and see if a treatment was needed. When I opened the hive, not a sound.....so sad. I started disassembling the hive to find quite a few frames of capped honey. But still no bees. Got down to the base deep, still no bees. Pulled out a couple frames, and there were 3 mice staring at me. Their nest was just beginning to be made, so I knew they were not there long. Upon checking out the remaining frames, I have to believe the queen must have been lost several weeks prior, as there were not even any larvae. DARN IT. Did get some nice honey from the experience, but would much prefer having the bees.

Hilled the potatoes the other day. While doing so, I found waaay too many to those nasty bugs. I hate them, as being pesticide free, the only recourse is to "pluck and squish" a few times a day. Then I remembered what my friend, Kelly did one year. She buried them under dirt and kept burying them all summer. Shocked as seeing this, I asked her why she would do such a thing. Her wise reply, "If they can't find them, they won't bother them". Not sure how, but she did get a fairly decent harvest that year. This in mind, I thought I would try a much modified "Kelly move".

Things are finally starting to come in. We were able to send a nice but modest selection of veggies and herbs to the Freight House Market and Cafe today. That includes some really fine jalepeno peppers, along with zucchini, swiss chard, bok choi, beet greens and other things. We have munched on a few cherry tomatoes, and should see them really taking off in a week or so.

As offered last year, we can pick to order, and arrange a time for you to collect them. Message me and I can send you a list of what is available with current pricing.
