      That's no ordinary "fieldtrip", San Diego to Unity Maine?
      That's an "EPIC FIELDTRIP!"
      You were literally on the doorstep of Johnny's Seeds and Four Seasons Farm,
      run by Eliot Coleman. Pioneer in the field of market gardening organically.
      IIRC, the original premise was to grow veg needed in restaurants and produce
      departments, year-round, instead of having to import them in from warmer
      climates/countries. Fresh veg, in Maine, in the Winter months!!!
      Then take a ride up to Wood Prairie Farm for your spuds and seed needs.
      Oh, and our house, should you ever need a place to lay your head down. 😴
      (Or you feel the need to experience the fine art of moving Winter precipitation around
      by hand.) 😲 lol

    If you like that birch syrup you should try mugolio or pine cone syrup, great sub for maple syrup, if you have access to pine or any conifer tree and lack maple trees. Easy to make and delish!

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  5 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      That sounds really delicious, I think I've seen people make that. Is it where you basically marinate pine cones in sugar?

    • @W1ND0FCHAN63
      @W1ND0FCHAN63 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      @jacquesinthegarden it is really good. It is basically marinating green pinecone in equal parts brown sugar and granulated sugar. It is really a fermentation process. Put green pinecone in a jar, fill rest of jar with sugar. Amount will vary on size of jar or amount of pinecone just make sure they are covered. Let sit for at least 1 month. I let mine set for 1 year for a more complex flavor. When ready to use put entire jar in a pot on the stove. Heat on low heat to melt the sugar that has hardened at the top and make sure to use low heat so you don't destroy the vit c. It is high in vit. C. It used to be used as an elixir to help woth coughs etc. Also next tip. Use a wide mouth jar or one of those crocks meant for fermenting. Makes it easier to get the hardened sugar out. After sugar has melted strain and use. I love it on pancakes. 😋😋😋

      Maine in the inland mid coast region, like where the MOFGA Fair is located, has the same temperatures as in Delaware in 1980. No more brutal winters with heavy snow. I moved from Orange County California to Delaware in 1982 and the real problem now is that the summers are brutally hot and humid. Winter is a relief, cold but the ground no longer freezes.

    Nice tour. We have family there and frequently talk about their high bush blueberries and bear that attack bird feeder and groundhog that tears up their lawn and power outages. Apparently they like it.
    I’m surprised you didn’t go to Johnnys Seeds, Eliot Coleman Farm, Woodprairie potato farm or Fedco.

      They were all on my list but this trip had other obligations, next time for sure!

    Next time you’re in Maine, stop by the botanical gardens in boothbay! It is gorgeous there

    From central Illinois, we still disc the soil in fields and larger gardens and food plots for deer

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The disk seems pretty ideal to be honest, not too damaging and great for texturing the soil .

    So how about a diy hobbit hole with a grass/wheat roof?
    I’ve grown tromboncino, it’s quite prolific and even overwintered and started fruiting again. I think my climate might be a bit warmer than yours. (Southern Queensland Australia)

      A diy hobbit house would be pretty epic!

    I’m excited for you and all of the things you got to experience. Be careful with the birch syrup around your animals. Xylitol is from birch trees and is deadly to animals so I’d assume the syrup is similar. Thank you for sharing with us!!

    Discing is the old way of chop and drop.

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  5 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      That is totally true, it lightly chops and incorporates into the surface soil!

    If you're interested in fibercrafts, why not try growing a patch of flax in the garden and trying to process it into some home-grown yarn?

    • @jacquesinthegarden

      That could be a fun thing to try out! Flax has beautiful flowers as well

    The winters in Maine aren’t as fierce as they used to be 20 - 30 years ago. No more chest-deep snow at Christmas, particularly along the coastal areas.
