Growing Armenian Cucumber And How They Taste
Also known as 'Yard Long Cucumber'. Light-green, ribbed, cylindrical fruit 20-60cm. Thin, soft skin, so no need for peeling. Best results when grown on trellis. Armenian cucumber plants prefer to grow in full sun for most of the day. The fruit is most flavorful when it is 12 to 15 inches (30 to 38 cm) long. Grows quickly. This cucumber is actually a melon, but is grown & eaten like a cucumber.
It is the very first time for me to grow and taste the Armenian Cucumber. I am very amazed with this plant and I will add it to my list of regularly grown annuals in our food forest.

Sauerpawpaw NOT Sauerkraut Part 2 of 2 - Fermenting Green Pawpaw Papaya ...
Easy to prepare, delicious and super healthy. For the first part, check this link: https://youtu.be/BJHwSw1UUl8
Clean your hands and nails before you start to do it. I better say it here at the beginning :)
Sauerpawpaw Fermented Pawpaw Papaya The Recipe:
1. Green pawpaw or papaya, skinned, cleaned and shredded on the largest holes of your shredder
2. Salt, 1 flat tablespoon per 1 kg shredded pawpaw
3. Garlic, cleaned and chopped or shredded on the smallest holes of your shredder.
Mix shredded pawpaw with salt and garlic in a large plastic bowl while pressing and squeezing it with each move with your hands. Press to the bottom of the bowl and leave covered for about 30 minutes. Move and press it into a fermenting jar firmly so the entire juice stays on top of the jar. You should have enough juice to cover the shredded pawpaw in the jar. If not, boil one cup of water with one teaspoon of jar, cool down and add to the jar.
Important: No pawpaw pieces should float on top. All your fermenting veggies should always be kept under the juice so they have no air contact.The best is to cover the pawpaw with some clean cabbage or kale leaves. I have once kept it under the fluid with some celery sticks. it works as well!
Let it ferment until ready. It takes about 10-14 days. Keep in fridge from then. Enjoy!
DIY The Best Natural Organic Fertilizer And How To Use It
Once you started to use this fertilizer, you will be amazed about the result! Especially if you don't have the best and richest soil or you just started with growing veggies, this simple and natural fertilizer will help you to grow the best, strong and healthy veggies.
Tips:
Tips:
- Important! Never put any manure on top of the soil. The manure, especially if not composted long enough, may contain bacteria and pathogens that are harmful to humans, such as salmonella and E. coli. If you put the manure on top of the soil, your plants and produce may get contaminated and you may get sick. The roots need it, not the top of the plant.
- The tub where you prepare your fertilizer needs to be water tight so no water can get in or out.
- Place the tub in a far corner of your garden where you usually don't sit. It might smell at the beginning if the lid is not 100% air-tight.
- Once you start use this fertilizer, you will be amazed about the result.

How To Build A Simple Mesh Greenhouse
This video shows how we have built our mesh greenhouse from scratch. To build it, we have used the following materials:
5 slippers 3m x 250mm x 50mm (for the veggie patch walls/edges inside the greenhouse
22 pcs size 4.80m x 70mm x 35mm (for the frames)
12 pcs size 4.8m x 100mm x 12mm (for the veggie patch walls/edges attached to the frame and outside where these two different nets meet.
The net is a High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE is used to make bottles for fruit juice, milk, water and kitchen cleansing products, 50 mesh 80 GSM so totally save for growing veggies. If you are in Australia, you can contact me if you want to buy this mesh.

Rosella Jam Recipe Quick And Delicious
Rosella is an amazing plant. You can eat the leaves, the calyx are great for tea, jam or to add into dishes. After trying few different recipes how to do Rosella Jam, I have found my own way to make it simple, quick, easy and delicious. There is no need to cook the seedpods to add some pectin into your jam. The calyx got more than enough of it as well.
Ewa's Rosella Jam
Remove the seedpods from the Rosella calyx. You can cut or blend the calyx into small pieces if you like but I like my jam with some bigger chunks in it.
Take 1 1/2 cups of raw sugar, 1/2 cup of water and juice from one lemon per 4 cups of fresh Rosella calyx. Cook it on low heat until reduced to your liking :) Check the consistency on a cold plate after 15 minutes of cooking. Most of the time I'm having about 6 cups of fresh Rosellas to cook and the jam is ready to fill into the glasses about that time.
And here the video how I do it:
Tips:
- The best way for me to sterilize the glasses and lids is to rinse them with boiling water after cleaning them.

Melt butter on medium heat, add onions. Cook for a couple of minutes until the onion becomes translucent and start to smell nicely. Add garlic and all spices and cook for about 4-5 minutes while stirring until the spices start to release their beautiful flavor.
Add the meat and all veggies, stir through and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir in between. Add coconut milk, curry leaves, salt and pepper. Bring to boil, reduce the heat to very low and simmer until the meat is tender for about 2-3 hours or longer if you cook it in a slow cooker. Mix the sour cream with little bit of water and stir in just before the end of cooking time together with spinach leaves.
Serve with rice.
