I've been using a lot of our frozen veggies in cooking - green and yellow beans are wonderful, bell peppers are not holding up as well for stirfry and I'm definitely not freezing broccoli again.
And speaking of broccoli - first set of seedling trays have been set. In addition to the broccoli, I have few varieties of salads, bok choy, spinach, onions, arugula. I'll be adding a tray every week to keep rotation going. I've also ordered more onion and leek plants that should arrive in March. And hopefully once the snow melts I can get my main garden tilled and seeded. Once the temperatures goes above 32 we'll restart our hydroponics - they were frozen solid when Mother Nature sent us plummeting down to 4 degrees at the end of January. Definitely catching spring fever now.
i've got some broccoli started under lights. silly me didn't think to spread out the harvest. i can't wait to get out in the garden. this weekend i poked around. some bulbs are already putting up shoots!
ReplyDeletei didn't have enough time in between last year and ended up with either large piles at once or none at all so hopefully i can keep it longer in rotation. and i found my potato bulbs sprouted too so they're ready to get into the ground now!
DeleteYour busy season for gardening will soon be starting. Are those hamburger buns that you made? Your stew looks yummy! Nancy
ReplyDeleteIt can't come fast enough for my liking. And no, those are just small breads as I like crust more than actual bread inside so i make them small - one meal serving.
DeleteIt sounds like we're on a similar seed planting schedule. Have you tried your frozen broccoli in quiche? We had that tonight. It wasn't bad.
ReplyDeleteNo, i haven't tried adding it to quich. Normally i prefer my broccoli just a tad undercooked so it's still crunchy. freezing it made it mushy.
