Misfires

Misfires - Turnips

How to consume an overload of turnips at one meal a day? One night I tried deep fried turnip chips. Who knew they'd curl up with centers like flowers? They never did crisp so I tried some thicker -- no good at all. Made hummus to plop in the middle and they were delicious but sloppy. Back to julienned in salad, stirfry, and summer rolls.

Misfires - Mimosa

Rusty's mimosa has bitten the dust. Or not. I refused to look at it for a week then when I pulled it out the roots (a lot of them) were all alive. I'm sure I overwatered it. I put 3 drops a day on it and there's green down on the stem now. Should have remembered what survivors these things are. Now I'm torn between putting the rest of the seeds in the fridge until Sept and planting more. Afraid if I wait until March the seeds will be dead.

Misfires - Soy Sprouts

From HEB.
Soak overnight, put in a container with holes in the bottom, change water twice daily, and in a week you have sprouts.

First, I filled the container and THEN soaked... and didn't remove all the extras.

Things went well until I skipped changing the water for a day. Yeeesh. Thought I had one of those hidden potatoes in the pantry somewhere. Compost dump. Google has hundreds of sites with instructions and many use a 1 liter cola bottle with the top curved part cut off and cover it with cheesecloth. I may try that but am so bummed it will be a while.
