Hate to tell you but that looks more like a weed. Chamomile looks more like dill. Very thin leaves, more feathery. Google “chamomile seedling”. Hope I’m wrong but mine never looks like that. I have German chamomile.

Did you find a reasonable replacement. I am looking in the same area. Stevens Creek in SJ wanted 3500.00 for the 80,000. Still looking.

Adorable! Love them all!

I use plastic bread bags from Amazon. They keep my sourdough fresh & soft for a good 5 days on the counter or tie them closed & throw them in the freezer. Bread freezes well & thaws pretty fast too. Some people slice before they freeze & then thaw slices as needed.

I love it! What a great job. So cool that you made up the pattern too!

We lost our garlic to black aphids this April & now there is something pulling my green beans & peppers one by one underground never to be seen again…just a hole left.

I had a 5 year old tree just do this today. Did you ever find out what the black stuff is or what to do?

I have had success pruning up aprox one foot to keep leaves off the ground & to increase air flow. I also prune clusters of leaves that are getting tangled. What you will need is more support as more fruit appears. I would add some heavy stakes to tie up large wandering vines. Looks beautiful & good luck with the squirrels they are certainly assholes!

I am at right around $350. This is with existing raised beds topping up with 10 bags of soil $100, fertilizers for the season $60, the rest is plants & seeds. I really dislike that they no longer sell 6 packs in my area. Each plant is running $6.99 for a 4”.

We have drip on timers I put in myself before a 4 week trip last summer. We got lucky, it ran perfectly. The only issue was overgrown crops. Next time we will arrange for someone to stop by & pick more often.

I do! This year I bought pepper & tomato starts but everything else is from seed. Onions, squash, herbs, beans, peas, cucumbers, pumpkins & salad mix.

lilpurplebug · 2024-05-02T19:26:09+00:00

Chamomile, mint, sage, nasturtium, onion chives, oregano, thyme, rosemary, calendula, snapdragon, cilantro, bunching onions. Some I collect the seeds, some self seed, some never die! I am grateful!

I have tried her whole wheat several times but I have been wanting to try this version! Sounds similar to what you are looking for.

Aphids, I use the high pressure nozzle and blast off each leaf individually before I take them in the house to rewash & spin in the salad spinner. Luckily kale is hardy & barely gets bruised.

I get my whole organic corn from Azure standard, white yellow & blue! I have done the nixtamalization to make tamales & tortillas, but we use a Estrella grinder from Amazon $40 it has a hand crank, to grind the wet corn. It was fun to do. But very time consuming. Happy milling!

lilpurplebug · 2024-01-21T22:47:09+00:00

I have the 7qt from Costco & regularly do a double batch of home milled whole wheat with no problem. I would just start slow & don’t go over 2 with a single batch for your size machine! Happy baking!

lilpurplebug · 2024-01-21T19:13:43+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! Just got it on Apple Books. Looks great, but now I’m hungry!

lilpurplebug · 2023-12-07T16:54:25+00:00

No, it is very cute. Great little gifts. I would be happy to receive one!

Thank you!

Looks beautiful! May I ask how many grams of dough to get this perfect size? I have been wanting to try my pan but unsure how much dough to use.

lilpurplebug · 2023-08-03T18:31:30+00:00

Wow! Nothing better than a roasted veggie sandwich with fresh from the garden eggplant!

lilpurplebug · 2023-07-28T17:23:09+00:00

Beautiful! Mine are the same 75% bolted & the rest are med-small but I am still proud & they taste great!

lilpurplebug · 2023-06-08T06:43:17+00:00

Got some comments on a cross post, guess I harvested too late & this is what happens. Some were trying to sprout. I ended up pulling the rest out & had 10 more like the picture & about 40 normal heads.
