Gardens shouldn’t be Pinterest perfect… they should be able to feed you! Our garden definitely needs some work, but we’ll make a huge dent in our grocery bills this year, which is all I really care about.

Inspired by It’s Jenn Again🌱 and her “ugly garden tour” last week 😛

You can always comment SMALLGARDEN to grab my printable garden binder ❤️ I know chaos gardening is real, but keeping things organized literally doubled my yield a few years ago.

I realize I’m way late to the game, so if you’ve tried one of these before I’d love to hear about your experience!

When I say gardening solves my problems, I’m only being a little dramatic 🌱🤍

There is actual research suggesting that exposure to soil microbes, time outdoors, sunlight, and physical activity can positively affect mood and help reduce stress. Maybe that’s why so many of us walk into the garden overwhelmed and walk back out feeling a little more like ourselves.

Kinda wild that one of the most powerful wellness tools available to us might be growing tomatoes, pulling weeds, and getting dirt under our fingernails.

What’s your favorite thing to grow when life feels especially overwhelming?

IT’S NOT TRASH, I PROMISE! 🍞

Yes, the black liquid looks questionable af, but it’s just h***h and is perfectly normal!

As long as it’s refrigerated and sealed in an airtight container, you’ll be fine for longer than you think. I’ve revived starter that’s been in my fridge for OVER A YEAR!

My favor kitchen tool is my funnel set from bc whether I’m canning, storing leftovers, or feeding my starter, it’s on my counter literally every day 😂 use code HECHES10 if you want one, too!

Drop your questions in the comments, or if you’re a sourdough regular, drop your wisdom!

Never a dull moment ✨

This week we made sprouts, used up some homemade jam and fresh tapped maple syrup in cinnamon rolls, planted tomatoes with only a balcony and no yard, and drowned a couple worms with our sweet Cheese Curd.

Who else did something fun this week?

✨ Apple Pie Filling (makes about 7 quarts)

🍎 10 lbs apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
🍋 1 cup lemon juice
💧 5 cups water
🍬 4½ cups sugar
🌽 1 cup cornstarch
🍂 2 tsp cinnamon
🧂 1 tsp salt

🍎Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice and set aside.
🍎In a large pot, whisk together the water, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened.
🍎Once thick, turn off the heat. Add the apples and stir to get them all coated in the goop!
🍎Ladle the hot filling into hot quart jars, leaving 1 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath.
⏰ Process quarts for 25 minutes (adjust for altitude if needed).
🍎When you’re ready for pie, just pour a jar into a crust, top with another crust or crumble topping, and bake at 425°F until bubbly and golden.

Future-you will be VERY impressed with past-you 😌🤍
