Up & Growing in the Hoop House




Despite the return of some cold weather lots of things are up and growing in the hoop house.

Solving water & humidity problems in the Hoop House



I have had an ongoing issue with water coming under the front wall and door of the hoop house and high humidity. I just tried a couple of solutions and they appear to be working. Time will tell.

We are having an unbelievable early spring warm sunny days and the snow is almost all gone. This is the last day of winter and I decided it was time to see how early I can get things going in my new Hoop House.

Crosby's Blueberry Muffins

recipes-blueberry-muffins.asp - Blueberry Muffins
Blueberry Muffins Ingredients:
3 cups white flour
1 cup white sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1⁄4 tsp baking soda
1⁄4 tsp salt
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1⁄4 cup Crosby's Fancy Molasses 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups wild blueberries
Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line muffin tins with papers. (I just butter them.) Combine and beat liquid ingredients. Sift and combine dry ingredients. Add liquid mixture to dry ingredients and mix just until the flour is moistened. (Mixing should be held to a minimum - a light stirring for 10 to 20 seconds. Batter will be lumpy and should not be mixed to the point of pouring, ribbon-like from the spoon, but rather should break into course globs. If the batter has been beaten too long, the gluten in the flour will develop and toughen the dough.)
2. Pour into muffin cups and fill 2/3 full.
3. Bake at once until golden brown,about 15to20 minutes.(If muffins remain in the tin a few moments after leaving the oven, they will be easier to remove.)
