It is so warm and humid here. God bless those landscapers who are mowing the lawn during hot summer. Do you miss winter?
The winter photo makes me feel cooler...it's taken during our winter vacation
I guess summer is not so bad after all, I don’t want to have snow piling up to the second floor :D
3 ft lime tree starts having tiny fruits. After seeing Prue's balcony size lemon tree, it inspires me to get a similar size disease free lemon tree.
The raspberries start to change color, probably I can harvest fresh berry fruits for several weeks.
Surprise! The squash starting to bloom...soon we will have something to cook!
Checklist for growing our own sprouts:
1. A large glass jar or plastic container
2. Breathable mesh screen
3. Select seeds to sprout, it can be alfalfa, mung beans, yellow beans, green beans, radish (if you like spicy), or any other seeds.
4. Add 2 Tbs. of seeds in the jar/container
5. Soak seeds in 3 times as much water anywhere from 5 hours to overnight
6. Rinse the seeds in container and drain out the water through the mesh screen.
7. Place the jar in a dark cool place.
8. Lay the jar on an angle with the seeds spread along the side of the jar.
9. Rinse the seeds twice a day for about 5 days.
10. Check it after 3 to 5 days, when the seeds look long with two little leaves on top, rinse a final time.
11. Last step: place the jar in a sunny window for a couple of hours.
Now the sprouts are ready to use for salads, topping, sandwiches, cooking… good for our health :-)
