I am delighted by the quanity and quality of the greens in the greenhouse this spring. Makes for some wonderful green juice drinks with the press. April 12, 2015
Greens coming on faster than I can eat them. Love it when this happens every year. Plenty of Beet Greens, Multi colored Swiss Chard and Spinach. My lonely Daiffodil is almost ready to bloom in the greenhouse. Outside zero tonight and -6 degrees tomorrow night. So thankful for greenhouse this time of year. Here is today's juicing greens.
The Greens keep coming in the greenhouse! Todays harvest in Southwestern Wisconsin Feb 10,2015. Made some more great juice today about 80+ ozs.. Would have been about one less pt without the Connors Diamond Juice Press. Wouldn't want to be without my press, better yield, better value and better tasting. Saving me time and money!
Good Ted Talk On the 'Power of Vegetables'
ttp://blog.ted.com/2012/08/09/10-talks-on-the-transformative-power-of-vegetables/ It's a new year,early January and it was about -10 degrees fahrenheit last night. The greenhouse is in an holding pattern, no growth and my access to fresh greens is getting slimmer and slimmer with each picking. The greens are very sweet with all the freezing weather, so very tasty just not as plentiful.
Time to start planning your early spring gardens. Greens tend to do best in the cool weather of spring and fall getting bitter in the summer in most places so get them in as soon as you can work the soil. Covering the soil with glass or plastic will aid in warming the soil faster making it possible for the seeds to germinate sooner and better. Fresh greens are hard to beat when it comes to something good for your body and soul, grow some soon! Wishing all a healthy, joyous New Year full of love and peace! Been busy working in the gardens. We finally had a rainy day so I took the time to take pictures of the new presses. They are all on the web site now so please go take a look at hydraulicjuicepress.weebley.com
I recently read an article in "All About Juicing" by Vanessa called "Unjuiceable fruits and vegetables. Don't juice these in your juicer." Winter Squash was one of them. I disagree with this claim. It is one of my favorites to juice. It adds a wonderful super sweet flavor and a very creamy texture to your juice. It is harder to cut the skin than most vegetables but if you use a Japanese vegetable knife it is not a problem. This type of knife will make all of your cooking prep work easier in the kitchen. Vanessa claims it is hard on your juicer to grind Winter Squash. I find it is easier and softer than carrots to grind. I think she has had little experience with Winter Squash and must have dull or thick knives.
I raise my own Winter Squash. They are about the least labor intensive vegetable to grow. Very little care and time to grow them. I cure them and store them on my tile floor in a pile. They keep about a year so I have a supply all year long. They are a staple in my juicing, alway on hand. They are very good for you with all the beta carotene and many vitamins in them. I wrote her to rebut her claims but she didn't publish my comments in her comment section. It is sad that her web site makes claims which deter people from experiencing the joys of juicing this wonderful vegetable. Give it a try I think you will like the taste of Winter Squash, I sure do! Fourteen new presses are available on my web site at hydraulicjuicepress.weebly.com. Come check out my latest presses online. Some beautiful figured woods in both the standard and large presses, all unique. Get one now while the selection is still good!
Been quite sometime since I posted a new blog, summer is a busy time for me. Presses have been selling very well and I am nearly out of stock. Will start a new batch next Tuesday, hope they will be done by end of September. Let me know if anyone has any request for certain wood combos or all of one wood species. Will be making both large and small hydraulic presses.
Enjoying the fruit of my labor with fresh peaches, pears, plums, tomatoes of all sorts, cucumbers, melons, zucchinis, onion, potatoes and more. Had a funny thing happen to last years storage potatoes. In lower level of barn under blankets, no water or light for a year formed hundreds of beautiful tiny potatoes. |
