Forgot to mention we also do run a weekly microgreens harvest which makes for all year kickass salads

Decided to take a picture of the basil i have going right now.

I forget the types but it's 4 of one type, two of another. These are in the grow tent i plan on doing the mj in one those seeds pop

I'm doing my first brew now. I underestimated the size of my brew pot and had a nice mess of LME burned onto the glass stove. That took forever to get out.

But hey, hopefully this oatmeal stout turns out well

I find that every hobby I have, I've learned from endlessly scouring other blogs and forums, so really me creating another blog would just be adding noise.

Also, I think for anyone getting into it, my main advice is that a lot of the fun is failing, learning from that failure and making small improvements the next time. Once I get a routine down and a workflow down, it's cool but also becomes boring and I seek something else to do. That's probably how I ended up with so many things going on :D

Kratky method hydroponics - https://www.epicgardening.com/the-kratky-method/

It's pretty much set it and forget it for the life cycle of the plant. Of course it depends on the plant and the size of the bucket. I've successfully grown lettuce, bok choy, basil and mint so far in 5 gallon buckets and a fluorescent grow light panel. I have 3 plants growing per bucket.

With the back yard, it's just a large back yard and the wife used a sod kicker to remove grass all along the fence and we put in raised beds. We have about 8 raised beds, each about 4x4, that e grow in and then we also have trellises around the yard that we grow things like squash, cakes, beans, etc on, directly out of the ground

Fermenting. Kraut, pickles, cauliflower, hot peppers to make my own hot sauce, horseradish, garlic honey, etc

Kombucha, water kefir, milk kefir.

Sourdough. Made my first caraway seeded sourdough rye today. Chefs kiss.

Growing mushrooms of the legal and illegal kind.

I'm doing a first attempt at brewing beer as well as wine right now.

Just put some mj seeds in a paper towel. Decked out the basement for a full grow.

Raising chickens for the eggs, a lot of which I also pickle.

Gardening with my wife. We mainly only ate our own back yard goods this summer and fall.

I'm going to try to make soap this weekend hot a mold kit and some sodium hydroxide.

Growing plants in a kratky hydroponics system. We made so much pesto this year from that.

And I still somehow work a 40 hour week :D

2,50,000

...no

"Second job" sounds cooler when you call it a side hustle

I'll take it if you're not gonna eat it

Do you know hamas?

Look at mr. Never-Burned-Liquid-Malt-Extract-Making-Wort over here

I have Twitter installed on my phone

I got a CRV hybrid that gets 2mpg less than my wife's 2012 civic manual

Wisconsin here. I drove a dodge shadow, a grand am and then a civic. Only the grand am sucked in snow and that was due to garbage tires.

Where is this winter hellscape you speak of

By doing what?

I got mine at Costco. Flu shot in one arm, covid in the other

...I doubt that

lol black guys don't exist on the internet. They're all out ice skating

And here I'm like that would be a great initial fermentation bucket for beer
