I have no idea what this is...could it be a vegetable?

I have no idea what this is...could it be edible?

Don’t you just love Spring?


Sprouted bread

I tried making Essene bread using this recipe here: http://earthstar.newlibertyvillage.com/essenebread.htm I sprouted organic wheat seeds that I ordered from Mumm’s

I quite liked it but my family didn’t care much for it :) I think I’ll try a different recipe next time, I’ve seen some that add flour and yeast.

Btw, I absolutely love this blog A Handmade Life Step-by-step on the path of simple living. Check out her recipes…

This avocado tree that I grew from a seed is all of a sudden starting to grow a lot of leaves at the top of it.


The lemon trees

The 2 lemon trees are doing great. The one that gets more light is doing better and will be blossoming again soon.
