So...
Friends of Farmers,
It is winter here in the frozen tundra of Minnesota. Yet a certain farm consumer has been leaving hate comments regarding the lack of blog posting. SO! I thought that I'd oblige and post today since there have actually been brief farm-related activities. Mulching the strawberries so they don't die? Nope. Moving the last of the tomato cages indoors and taking down the fence? Not that either.
I'm taking a short break to make green tomato chutney from a recipe a preschool teacher where I'm collecting data gave me. Pretty sure it's from the Moosewood Cookbook. Check this, though. Not only does it use the green tomatoes that haven't ripened yet, but it also uses that damn coriander, AND the cayenne pepper that worked so well as rabbit deterrent. Seriously, folks. The coriander. Is in the pan. Flavoring something delicious. I may not hate it as much as I originally thought...
[Farmer update: I just finished eating it, and it is the best damn thing I've had in a long time!!]
Farm Vitals
Yesterday's high: 33F
Yesterday's low: 20F
Warnings: Telepathically encouraging the Farmer to spread the damn mulch.
Mood of the farm: What farm?
Reason to consider a new career: I'm pretty sure farming involves more sleep than my current gig. Or at least better sleep...
