One other straightforward, hearty winter soup: Lentil Soup
I used to be debating what to do with my day.
Curling up with e-book in entrance of the fireplace had numerous attraction.
Or perhaps I might spend the day wandering by way of my cookbooks.
Or I might lastly dig into the stack of ‘fascinating espresso desk books’ I’ve been planning on taking a look at for the final 20 years or so.
So… What did I do?
I received out the seed catalogue after all, and deliberate my gardens for the spring.
Then I went on-line to my favourite seed websites.
I ought to have all my seeds right here in a couple of days.
Then I wait.
I’m planting the entire seeds immediately within the floor.
After years of gardening I do know that works finest. I’ve experimented, examined, and confirmed to myself many instances that planting the seeds immediately within the floor produces the quickest and strongest crops.
And but…. I’ve a tough time resisting planting the seeds in tiny pots of filth in February and nursing them alongside for a month or 2.
Final yr, my tomato seedlings have been 3 inches excessive in 3 weeks.
Two months later they have been nonetheless 3 inches excessive.
By that point I had gone to the market and acquired crops that have been 12 inches excessive.
Apparently, I’m a sluggish learner.
