Human nature being what it is, I wonder how many of these well intended gardens will actually be harvested. I LIKE spending the afternoon evening in the garden. A successful one requires some work but mostly persistence.

Like Ladycook and add wet! Definately not spring like.

Rain in the forecast through Friday but we need the snow pack for summer.

6 tablespoons of kosher or pickling salt to 10# of shredded cabbage. Make sure it is thoroughly mixed. Then pressed into a sterile crock or food grade plastic container. A 5 gallon pale will easily hold 20#. Most recipes say to cover with a weighted plate <keep the cabbage submerged in brine> A...
