Overwintering rosemary in a cold climate
Rosemary survives most winters indoors if it gets a bright window, cool nights and very little water. The usual mistake is watering it like a summer plant. Let the top few centimetres dry out completely.
Field Notes
Short notes on gardening, small trips and slow cooking.
A weekend on the lakes
Two days, one small cabin, a stove and far too many books. The ice was thick enough for long walks along the shore, and the light after three in the afternoon was worth the cold.
Rye bread, the patient way
A sourdough rye needs time more than skill: a long overnight sponge, a warm spot in the kitchen, and a full day of resting after baking before you cut it.
