I started a fun plant project this week!
About a month ago, my husband showed me a video about a bunch of rare fruits, and finger limes were included in the list. I had never heard of them, so I looked them up online and found that you could order them from a farm in California, and have them shipped.

I ordered some, and decided to try and save some of the seeds to sprout and grow my own...and EVERY. SINGLE. SEED. SPROUTED!! I now have 12 baby finger lime plants, and have 4 or 5 more limes in the fridge that I can get seeds from, so I'd say that was $25 well spent for one pint of fruit 😂
Plus, I get the joy and accomplishment of raising my own (hopefully).

I took a sourdough class last week where we learned how to properly care for and use a starter, and stretch the dough to develop the gluten and shape the loaves. The first loaf pictured is the loaf I took home from the class to proof in the fridge and bake later.

The 2nd loaf is the one I baked today. Being the rebel that I am, I totally winged it and deviated from the recipe I was given which used only white flour. I used 20% rye flour, which supercharges fermentation, and it gave me a lovely starter doubled in size to use for my loaf in just TWO hours after feeding! After my starter was ready, I mixed it with whole wheat and white flour, water, and salt, and performed 4 sets of stretch and folds over the afternoon before proofing it overnight in the fridge.

I'm absolutely loving learning the old ways of baking, although all this delicious bread may be detrimental to my diet 🤣

Finally finished the tractor for them, so we added some new members to the flock tonight! We now have Pilgrim geese on top of our chickens, ducks, turkeys, and quail. I wonder if I can say I'm fluent in fowl language now? 🤔🤣
Also, I got hissed at and bitten while picking up my first goose, so I'm starting to understand why they're jokingly referred to as "Cobra Chickens" 😅

We're only going to keep 4, and the rest of the ganders (the white ones) will be going to freezer camp after we fatten them up.

It's a good day when you score a vintage, unmarked Wagner griddle at a flea market for only $20!!

I had my last broom making class tonight, and finished the stitching on my long broom. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out for my first time.
Learning this craft has been really interesting and I'm excited to continue practicing and improving my skills in this dying craft.

Tonight was the 2nd to last night of the broom making class I've been attending. Tonight, we constructed these long brooms with woven tops, and next week we will be finishing them up by shaping and sewing the broom corn. I have loved learning this craft!

We got some rain today, but it was still a beautiful day on the homestead. The turkey poults were upgraded to a bigger brooder, and the adult chickens and turkeys are enjoying the green grass and bugs they find to eat.
To top it off, the clematis my grandmother planted years ago is in full bloom. It's my favorite plant on the property ❤️

This poor little ducky was so sad when his turkey hatchmate went to the brooder with the other turkey poults, so Adeline offered a cuddle buddy for him to try. He absolutely loves his new little friend ❤️

Spent some time this afternoon transplanting a bunch of ramps in our woods! I still have more to transplant, but in a few years, we should have some nice patches.

I also found my first, albeit tiny, morel of the season!
