땅이 얼기 전에, 내년 밭 준비를 시작해요 / 당근잎 말리고 당근 파스타 만들기 / 유기농 텃밭 브이로그

It's been a while since I've been digging. Winter is the season for shoveling (as I like^^) Before the ground freezes, I start preparing the fields for next year. I finally finished harvesting the beans. I planted a handful of beans and harvested this much. I remove the debris little by little whenever I have time. There are still crops to be harvested in the fields. But I am already preparing the fields for next year. Last spring, I dug a small hole here. And I piled food scraps and fallen leaves on top of it. About 9 months ago, I piled food and fallen leaves in a hole, one after another , as if I was making compost with food waste in a composter . And on top of that I planted pumpkins and paprika. Pumpkin Sweet Pumpkin Yellow Paprika Red Paprika Sweet Pumpkin Harvest Pumpkin Harvest Paprika Harvest Currently (late November), plants have grown well in this furrow all year without applying fertilizer. A small success So, next year I plan to plant crops in more furrows. However, we start making furrows earlier this year. So, I decided to give the food scraps enough time to ferment during the winter. The important thing is to dig a hole before the ground freezes. If you dig one furrow every day, it takes less effort. But the weather next week will be below freezing. The ground can freeze so I make a hole as quickly as possible. The depth of the pit is about two spans. Add perilla seeds into the hole. Bean stalks and perilla seed stalks are the best organic matter to add to the bottom of the fertilizer. This is the perfect posture for digging a hole.😅 If you keep shoveling even though it is difficult, you may become addicted to shoveling^^; At this time, I thought maybe I was overdoing it for no reason. But considering the weather today (editing), it's a good thing I worked hard this time (it's very cold). After making three holes, I harvest the carrots. Harvest is like a reward to myself after hard work. Today I harvested more carrots than usual. The reason is this. I'm following the comment about 'drying carrot leaves'. (Dryer) Turn the leaves over for 12 hours at 30 degrees and dry at 40 degrees for 5 hours . This is said to be used in place of parsley powder. Making powder I think the thick stems will be tough. So remove it. It has a similar flavor to green tea, so I think I'll try steeping it in water next time. But today, I'm cooking 'Carrot Pasta' with dried carrot leaves. I plan to season it with pollack roe salted fish. Olive oil + garlic Always the same recipe. I just added carrot leaf powder there. In fact, anything is delicious as long as you put pollack roe in it. However, I think it became a slightly healthier food because I added carrots and carrot leaves. Cheese is also good for your health, right?? (Please tell me it's true~😅) You can also add carrot leaves to our mayonnaise fruit salad, which is louder on the weekends . This has no special taste. However, thanks to this, it seems like a healthier dish. While I was taking a walk around my apartment, I happened to see a stone tomb. I think this is a brick from when the village road was being repaired. There are no stones in my field. So I really need these bricks. Since the bricks were thrown away anyway, permission was very easy. Starting today, we plan to move the bricks to the field little by little. At first, I thought, ‘What kind of windfall is this?’ But the bricks for the floor were much heavier than expected. I have no choice but to ask my husband for help. I'm thinking of stacking these bricks around the compost pit. My son helped me dig the hole. Introducing my first child. He started shoveling in middle school and is a so-called shoveling expert. Perhaps because he started gardening at such a young age, he never went near the vegetable garden during his high school years. 😅 I guess those days have passed now (the reward of raising a child^^) Thanks to my son, the rest of the hole digging was easily solved. There is a saying that a ancestral rite is held as soon as one sees the rice cake. While I was digging the hole, I asked my son to dig another hole. This is where I thought it would be a good place to bury the kimchi jar. It's a hill right next to the vegetable garden. When I dug, the soil was almost like humus. One drawback is that there are too many tree roots in the soil. Since the soil is good, I was thinking of planting vegetables rather than burying the kimchi jars. But plastic waste continues to come out. I thought it was humus, but in reality it was a pile of trash. In fact, this happens often in rural areas. (Sad reality) It was such a nice land, but I gave up. **For your information, waste plastic from agricultural use is a recyclable material that can be separated and collected. In the end, I found another place to bury the kimchi jar. (I never give up on burying a kimchi jar😊) This winter, my goal is to store kimchi without a kimchi refrigerator. Rain falling suddenly. There is snow news this week. And we also hear news of a cold spell. I haven't looked at cabbage in a while. Many other fields have already finished harvesting cabbage. But my cabbages are still growing in the field. They grow only through fermented organic matter, autonomous photosynthesis, and water. I see a few aphids. But now I think it's okay to just leave the aphids alone. Harvesting cabbage leaves to eat today These are not yellow cabbage leaves. However, green cabbage leaves also become sweeter as winter approaches. How great would it be if we could harvest cabbage leaves like this until spring? I left work today after harvesting just enough to eat. The garlic field next door is also preparing for the winter cold. I make a late-night meal with the cabbage I harvest. Dough / Flour + Salt + Starch + Water It tastes better if you use commercially available frying powder. However, it is delicious enough even with the ingredients available. Roasting until golden brown The eldest child is playing the role of older brother to the fourth child^^ On a cold night, cabbage pancakes are the best snack. This is how we end our short day in early winter. The weather changed completely in one day. 'How do birds withstand this wind?' I always wonder about this. A pheasant couple blocking the front of my vegetable garden. It rained overnight. And there's news of heavy snow tomorrow (I'm really glad I dug the hole in advance) Pouring the food scraps on the bean stalks (self-mosaic ^^) Actually, when I started making compost with food waste, I didn't hate the smell or the look of them so much. .(It's even good 😅) I won't be throwing away food scraps this winter. And we plan to work hard to fill this hole. Add oyster shell powder. Don't forget ^^ Don't let rain or snow get into the fallen leaves! After a few days, its volume will decrease significantly. Then, put food waste on top of it, then add fallen leaves... If you've seen my composting video, you'll know. There is a most important purpose for me in making compost. It cleans up trash (organic matter). A clean garden after harvesting and removing the remaining organic matter. And now I'm leaving work too. Thank you for watching today~❤️
