Monday, February 27, 2012 Future Harvest Yesterday I extracted these wild blueberry seeds from a small portion of last summer's frozen pickings. After a cold dormancy of at least 90 days the seeds can be removed, dried and eventually sown. I hope to successfully start a number of seedlings to eventually set outside. I've also ordered some older, bare root plants from a local nursery for delivery in May, just to be on the safe side.
Sunday, February 26, 2012 Korvapuusti This was my first attempt at the Finnish cinnamon roll called Korvapuusti. They are passable, but I will need more practice as the dough was not quite what I had hoped for. These are quite tasty, nevertheless, and made for a relaxing afternoon following yesterday's exertions on the brush piles.
Saturday, February 25, 2012 Fired Up Not much, but a little snow did fall yesterday. It was enough that the fire warden gave us a green light to burn today. I was beginning to think we wouldn't have a chance this winter. Four of the six brush piles were eliminated with Ian and Lisa's help. Baldr helped too, of course, in his own way. In this picture he is off hunting squirrels. ;)
