The peppers you see here is a Jimmy Nardello variety. It will produce a large plant with beautiful elf shoe looking fruit. They are great for Italian dishes. The last frost date for me is still a month away. I have a small greenhouse on the back porch and I am so excited for the minute I can plant my container garden. What vegetables are you growing this year? #IndoorGardening #StartingSeeds #VegetableGarden #ContainerGardening #PeppersAndTomatoes #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Clearing the dead nettle from the front plant bed. Look what I saw. #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Today I managed to decant some vanilla extract I started last year, start some vanilla sugar, and lemon extract. I also made two loves of wheat bread. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Happy St. Patrick’s Day all y’all!

Happy 24th Anniversary to my love, Wayne! We’ve shared some difficult times, but rarely a harsh word between us. ❤️❤️ #marriage #anniversary #HolsteinHouse #WV #USA #nostr #grownostr

Seventy-nine food boxes given out today.

Spent all morning in the backyard. Got the fence up for the garden. Added soil to the big containers. Late lunch and a bit of rest then back outside. I want to soak up this weather before the next cold snap comes. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Twice a year I go "radio silent;" the day my younger son was born, and the day he committed suicide. Here I spend some time telling you about his short life, and things leading up to his suicide. **WARNING** there are some graphic descriptions shared. Suicide is not painless. It hurts those you leave behind.

Good morning all y’all! Tried my hand at using the sous vide yesterday. I messed up not starting much sooner. I ended up finishing this pork butt this morning. What is your favorite thing to make using sous vide? #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good morning all y’all! 19°F on the Holstein House front porch. Inside the peas have sprouted. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #winter #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y’all! 🥶 Baby it’s cold outside! Stop sending snow my way! LOL Swept the front walk twice since 6 AM EST. Fine light snow you can barely see. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #winter #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #chickens #ducks

I am just finishing starting some seeds. I have some onions, lettuces, kale, peas, chives, parsley, and carrots. Normally you wouldn’t start carrots but these are in the peat pots so I’ll just stick them in a large one later. I do 99% of my garden in containers. I still need to get some Swiss chard, celeriac, and the regular kitchen herb garden seeds. #holsteinhouse #garden #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Back from the food pantry. Working on a second knotted throw. This one for the lady in the bed next to MIL, who keeps taking hers. Yes, MIL’s initials are on her’s but when you are in a nursing home where patients have memory issues, well. #holsteinhouse #craft #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

I gave him my heart and he consumed it! Beef heart. I gave him my beef heart stew. LOL #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr #valentinesday
