Week 3 - Salad Table still going a little slow, but it's almost time to start thinning out.

Last night I made my first batch of raw sauerkraut!
I loosely followed this recipe.
What's interesting is that 4lbs of cabbage, 3 carrots, and 3 celery sticks were packed into this 1.5L jar with room to spare! I ended up adding purple cabbage on top to fill out the jar a little more. I have a sparkling grape juice bottle on top to weight the cabbage down and keep it submerged in it's brine.

I also made my first batch of Kefir - an ancient fermented milk drink.

And today I harvested a few cherry tomatoes from my aquaponics. 
You don't get much during the cold season so it's not really worth the effort to keep summer crops over winter.
