Corn in all its colors!

[chjarudiluna]

Many vegetables, most noticeably sweet corn and sugarsnap peas, are full of sugars that start turning to starch as soon as they're picked, so you will get the best and most flavorful experience if you eat them as close to harvest as possible.

Squash is full of starch that slowly turns to sugars once it gets picked, so you will get the best and most flavorful experience if you wait six weeks to three months (depending on the variety) after harvest before eating them.

Cold-hardy roots and brassicas are full of starch that turns to sugars after exposure to frost, so you will get the best and most flavorful eating experience if you wait to pick them until they've gone through multiple freezes.

You can watch the whole video if you want, but at 13 seconds when he pulls the blob out of the furnace and WHOOOSH it's suddenly a ghost?

Good stuff.

Corning Museum Instagram but their youtube has full demonstrations and livestreams.

Chris Rochelle Instagram has lots of neat things but mostly this ghost.

Harvest of the day 08/03/24 I think we've planted too many eggplants this year. Our eggplant patch is definitely thriving, 20 eggplants harvested this morning (3,3kg).

We're gonna give almost all of them to friends and family, other eggplants are coming soon.

Garden update 07/17/2024

It's been a long time since my last post about the vegetable garden. Truth is, we had busy days at work, and we will manage to have a really beautiful garden when we will retire (which is not going to happen soon enough)

This spring and beggining of summer have been different from the other years: cold and rainy. Even if the temperatures are warmer now (39°C forecasted this week), summer vegetables are late. I'm enjoying the few things my garden is able to produce: little sunflowers and plum sisters.

But, the heavy rain was good for some vegetables, as right now the yellow wax beans (and the tons of shelled peas and fabas we were able to eat this spring).

The watering system is highly functionnal and that is a really good thing, less work for us. Now, we are waiting for tomatoes, espelette hot peppers, cucumbers, eggplants and zucchinis to mature.
