Next four days are forecast to be soggy. I broadcast 10 lbs of alfalfa seed on some
of the less productive zones in my pasture.  I have the mindset that if I keep puttin
seed out there eventually it may take hold and I will get a good stand of alfalfa.
What I planted last year is seeming to be pretty happy. That little experiment was a
success.... ;D

Squash Summer Tatuma (Calabacita) HEIRLOOM Seeds
Cucurbita pepo
50 days. This fabulous summer squash may not be well-known, but that is soon to change! With wonderful, creamy texture and buttery flavor, squash lovers will be happily pleased, and even squash skeptics may soon be won over. Also called tatume or calabacita, the Latin word referring to any small cucurbit, this squash is a favorite in Mexico and southern Texas.
 Fruits are best when picked at about 3" long. Vigorous vines to 12 feet thrive in heat, and are more drought toleratant than most squash; practically immune to squash borer insect.

This packet plants 5-6 mounds.
Days to Emerge:
5-10 days
 
Seed Depth:
1/2"-1”
 
Seed Spacing:
2-3 seeds
per mound
 
Mound Spacing:
3’-4'
 
Thinning:
When several leaves
thin to 2 plants
per mound
 

 

When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperatures have risen above 60° F.

When to start inside: Not recommended except in very short season climates, 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost. Sow in individual pulp pots that can be planted directly in the ground.

I like caraway in mine too. It's called "Bavarian-style" down here.
We have a brand Kuners here, that is where I first tried ^^^^ Bavarian style and won't look back!

Prepared 9lbs of sauerkraut yesterday.

I use an old ceramic crock. I sliced the cabbage as thin as I could get it, and layered the cabbage in a crock, applying Sea salt and tamping the cabbage with a wooden block as I added each layer. Then placed the crock, covered with a plate and a 10lb weight, in an old fermenter and sealed the bucket leaving the airlock hole just covered with a beer coaster. It will take at least a few weeks but I think it's perfect in six weeks.

Just in time for New Years!

Have you made it before? I plan on making some but maybe one head of cabbage to see how it turns out.
I make it every year around October/November so that it's ready by the New Year. It's easy and fun to do. So many dishes can be prepared with this old world food. Try it!
Ron, I woulda teased in a little caraway seed...just me...
