back to it

alright, so many things have happened since I last updated, including going to a tractor and chainsaw safety workshop where I got to drive a tractor and a skidsteer and where they used jelly packets to demonstrate why you should wear hard hats, and I saw my first firefly, and went mini golfing, and now it's shavuot and there are about to be tons of retreatants all around, but the most important thing is that I started sprouting!

I got a 'sandwich mix' from the co-op in great barrington and lauren is skillsharing me and I'm really excited about the whole thing. that's a picture from last night, when I started them soaking, and here's a picture from just now, as they've been sitting and draining all morning.

not so exciting yet, but soon there will be sprouts. I'll do a little run down of the exact steps soon.

oh also I went to a biochar workshop last weekend after spending my project time intensively researching it on the internet (taking notes and everything!) and now I can't wait to build a nested retort cooker. more on that later too.

it's lunch time!
