On taas aika omavaraistelija-bloggareiden #suuntanaomavaraisuus -postauksen. Luotseina Tsajut-blogin Sari ja Korkeala-blogin Heikki. Helmikuun omavaraispostauksen aiheena on omat kasvatusohjeet ja viimevuoden kokeilut. Olen omavaraistelussani sen verran alkuvaiheessa ett\u00e4 hirve\u00e4sti en ole viel\u00e4 ehtinyt kokeilemaan. Tai oikeammin voisi kai sanoa ett\u00e4 l\u00e4hes kaikki mit\u00e4 teen on t\u00e4ss\u00e4 vaiheessa enimm\u00e4kseen kokeilua. Koettelen l\u00e4hinn\u00e4 itse\u00e4ni ja omia voimavarojani puutarhan hoidossa. En siis koe ett\u00e4 pystyisin ihan hirve\u00e4sti antamaan ainakaan mit\u00e4\u00e4n kasvatusohjeita mist\u00e4\u00e4n. Muiden bloggareiden kokeiluista, edistymisest\u00e4 ja kasvatusohjeista voit poiketa lukemaan alla olevista linkeist\u00e4.

Palatakseni t\u00e4h\u00e4n omaan kokeiluuni niin kaikki on t\u00e4ss\u00e4 vaiheessa tosiaan enemm\u00e4n tai v\u00e4hemm\u00e4n kokeilemista. Yrit\u00e4n etsi\u00e4 sopivaa tasapainoa innokkuuteni, jaksamiseni ja luonnon kanssa. Kokeilen erilaisia kasveja ja testaan mitk\u00e4 sopivat parhaiten meid\u00e4n ruokap\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4mme, mitk\u00e4 j\u00e4\u00e4v\u00e4t k\u00e4ytt\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00e4 ja mitk\u00e4 eiv\u00e4t vain yksinkertaisesti sovellu tapaani hoitaa keitti\u00f6puutarhaa. Jotkut kasvit ovat vaikeita kasvattaa kolmosvy\u00f6hykkeell\u00e4 ja jotkut eiv\u00e4t menesty ilman kasvihuonetta. Sit\u00e4h\u00e4n meill\u00e4 ei viel\u00e4 ole. Jotkut monivuotiset kasvit vaativat talvettamisen sis\u00e4tiloissa tai kellarissa. Aiemmin sellaiseen ei oikein ole ollut mahdollisuutta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viime kev\u00e4\u00e4n\u00e4 en ehtinyt muuttorumban vuoksi esikasvattaa mit\u00e4\u00e4n taimia. Niinp\u00e4 ostin muutamia valmiita taimia kuten pensastomaatin, kes\u00e4kurpitsan ja myskikurpitsan. Vasta j\u00e4lkeenp\u00e4in kuulin Jovelan Johannalta (linkki Jovelaan postauksen alkupuolelta), ett\u00e4 myskikurpitsasta on vaikea saada satoa ilman kasvihuonetta. Vaan mit\u00e4p\u00e4 tekee myskikurpitsani! Kasvaa kuin hullu ja tekee kukkaa kukan per\u00e4\u00e4n. Valitettavasti suuri osa kukista oli vain yht\u00e4 laatua, enk\u00e4 saanut kuin pari p\u00f6lytetty\u00e4. Ehdin kuitenkin saada kolme mainiota myskikurpitsaa, ennenkuin syksy pakkasi p\u00e4\u00e4lle ja m\u00e4d\u00e4tti loput alut. Viime kes\u00e4 oli niin l\u00e4mmin ett\u00e4 myskikurpitsallekin piisasi avomaalla riitt\u00e4v\u00e4sti l\u00e4mp\u00f6\u00e4. Kuiva kuuma kes\u00e4 ei kuitenkaan ole edullinen avomaalla kasvatettaville kasveille, joten toivon ehk\u00e4 kuitenkin mieluummin v\u00e4h\u00e4n leudompia kesi\u00e4 ja pit\u00e4ydyn helpommissa kasveissa kunnes saamme kasvihuoneen. Viimevuotinen sato oli niin vaatimaton ett\u00e4 paljon muuta siit\u00e4 ei olekaan kerrottavissa. Villirukolasta sain muutaman lehden salaattiin ja pitsan ja leiv\u00e4n p\u00e4\u00e4lle. \u00c4idilt\u00e4 saamani ilmasipulin annoin kasvaa rauhassa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kokeilen uusia juttuja joka syksy my\u00f6s sienirintamalla. Olen jo vuosia pit\u00e4nyt tapanani opetella ainakin yhden uuden sienen joka sesonki. Mik\u00e4 sieni se tulee olemaan on aina v\u00e4h\u00e4n yll\u00e4tys itsellenikin, sill\u00e4 pitk\u00e4lti se riippuu siit\u00e4 mit\u00e4 sieni\u00e4 sattuu l\u00f6ytym\u00e4\u00e4n. Viime syksyn\u00e4 l\u00f6ysin vihdoin mustavahakkaita, joita olen yritt\u00e4nyt l\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4 jo useamman vuoden. Kuivasin ne emmek\u00e4 ole viel\u00e4 k\u00e4ytt\u00e4neet niit\u00e4 ruuaksi, joten en osaa sanoa siit\u00e4 kokeilusta viel\u00e4 mit\u00e4\u00e4n. Joskus uusi tunnistettava sieni ei ole sy\u00f6t\u00e4v\u00e4 sieni ollenkaan. Joskus sieni\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyy vain yksi, niin ett\u00e4 siit\u00e4 ei riit\u00e4 ateriaksi asti. T\u00e4st\u00e4 aiheesta kerron lis\u00e4\u00e4 joku toinen kerta l\u00e4hemp\u00e4n\u00e4 sesonkia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muissa kokeiluissa p\u00e4\u00e4sin ensi kertaa testaamaan kuusenkerkk\u00e4siirapin ja ruusunmarjasoseen valmistusta. \u00c4itini valmistamaa kuusenkerkk\u00e4siirappia olen kyll\u00e4 sy\u00f6nyt aiemminkin. Se on erinomaisen aromikasta kastiketta vaikkapa j\u00e4\u00e4tel\u00f6n tai jugurtin p\u00e4\u00e4lle. Siit\u00e4 voi my\u00f6s tehd\u00e4 kuumaa juomaa flunssan oireisiin. Kulkutautitilanteesta huolimatta olemme olleet yll\u00e4tt\u00e4v\u00e4nkin tervein\u00e4, eik\u00e4 vetoisien lattioiden ansiosta ole tehnyt mieli sy\u00f6d\u00e4 j\u00e4\u00e4tel\u00f6\u00e4. Siirappia ei siksi ole hirve\u00e4sti tullut t\u00e4n\u00e4 talvena nautittua. Ruusunmarjasoseesta minulla on ristiriitaiset tunteet. Sen tekeminen oli nimitt\u00e4in niin vaivalloista puuhaa ett\u00e4 en oikein tied\u00e4 huvittaako se rulijanssi en\u00e4\u00e4 toistamiseen. Ruusunmarjojen sis\u00e4ll\u00e4 on nimitt\u00e4in hirve\u00e4sti pieni\u00e4 siemeni\u00e4 ja er\u00e4\u00e4nlaisia karvoja niiden seassa. Siementen ja karvojen perkaaminen marjan hedelm\u00e4lihasta on ty\u00f6l\u00e4st\u00e4 ja sottaista. Siemenkarvat kuulemma \u00e4rsytt\u00e4v\u00e4t ruuansulatuselimist\u00f6\u00e4 joten niiden perkaamista suositellaan. Pit\u00e4isi keksi\u00e4 joku k\u00e4tev\u00e4mpi systeemi siihen hommaan sill\u00e4 pid\u00e4n kyll\u00e4 ruusunmarjojen mausta. Voisikohan niist\u00e4 keitt\u00e4\u00e4 h\u00f6yrymehua?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omavaraistelun ollessa kyseess\u00e4, tykk\u00e4\u00e4n kokeilla my\u00f6s muita juttuja kuin ruokaan liittyvi\u00e4. Olen kokeillut kotikosmetiikkaa ja pesuaineita, erilaisia uusia k\u00e4sity\u00f6tekniikoita ja niin edesp\u00e4in. Kun suosikkihuulivoiteeni valmistus lopetettiin, kokeilin tehd\u00e4 huulivoidetta itse, tosin jo useampi vuosi sitten. Se kokeilu ei t\u00e4ysin onnistunut, voit lueskella siit\u00e4 t\u00e4\u00e4lt\u00e4<\/a>. Jossain vaiheessa otan uuden yrityksen reseptiin tekemill\u00e4ni parannuksilla. Kosmetiikkakokeiluissa huono puoli on se ett\u00e4 todella pieni\u00e4 m\u00e4\u00e4ri\u00e4 on vaikea tehd\u00e4 ja kuusikin huulirasvapuikkoa kest\u00e4\u00e4 k\u00e4yt\u00f6ss\u00e4 TODELLA kauan. Ihan hirve\u00e4n ahkeraan ei siis viitsi koesatseja tehd\u00e4. Pysyv\u00e4sti k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00f6n j\u00e4\u00e4nyt kokeilu oli etikan k\u00e4ytt\u00f6 huuhteluaineena, vaikka se nyt ei varsinaisesti olekaan mit\u00e4\u00e4n omavaraistelua. Aineen joutuu silti ostamaan. Etikkaa voisi valmistaa my\u00f6s itse, esim SCOBYN (kombucha-sieni) avulla, mutta ihan niin syv\u00e4lle omavaraisteluun en kuitenkaan halua, saati ehdi upota. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again it is the time for #selfsufficiency posts by bloggers. Our group is host by Sari from Tsajut blog and Heikki from Korkeala blog. February theme is growinc\/cutivating tips and last years experiments. I am in such early stage of my self-sufficiency that I haven’t really done much experimenting. Or should I actually say that pretty much everything I do is experiment at this point. Mostly I experiment with my skills and energy levels when it comes to gardening. So I don’t really feel that I am able to give any tips or advice about anything yet. You can read about other bloggers experiments, tips and proceedings at their blogs. Links you can find below. I recommend checking them out, however most of them are in Finnish. There is enormous amount if information, stories and experience behind those blogs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To return to my experiment, everything is more or less experiment to me at the moment. I am trying to find good balance between my enthusiasm, my energylevels and nature. I am trying out different plants and testing which ones are best suited for our style of food, which never get used and which just don’t work with my way of gardening. Some plants are difficult to grown on our climate area and some don’t grow without green house. We don’t have one yet. Some perennial plants require taking them inside for the Winter or to the cellar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Spring I didn’t have any time to pre-grow anything because of moving. So I bought some pre-grown sapplings like bush tomato, zucchini and butternut squash. Later I heard that it is difficult to get harvest from butternut squash without a green house. But what does my squash do! Grows like crazy and opens one flower after another. Unfortunately most flowers were just one type. I was able to pollinate only couple of them. And then came Autumn and rest of the small squashes started rotting. However I managed to get three lovely squashes from it. Last summer was so hot that there was enough warmth even for butternut squash on open garden. Unfortunately hot and dry summer is not good for most plants so I don’t really hope for another summer like that. Last years harvest was so modest that there is not much more to say about that. I was able to get couple leaves of wild rocket for sallads, ontop of pizza and sandwitch. I got tree onions, which I got from mum, I allowed just to grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also try new mushrooms every Autumn. For years now I have had the habit of learning atleast one new mushroom every season. What it will be, is always a bit of a surprise even to myself. It depends on what ever I am able to find. Last Autumn I finally found hygrophorus camarophyllus<\/em>, smoky waxy-cap, which I have been trying to find several years now. I dried them and we have not eaten them yet, so I can’t really say much about that experiment yet. Sometimes new identified mushroom is not edible, meaning it is poisonous or taste is known to be foul. Sometimes I can find just one, which is not really enough for a meal. I will write about this more some other time, closer to the mushroom season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On other experiments it was first time when I managed to test how to make the spruce syrup and rosehip pure. I have tasted mums spruce syrup, so I know what it tastes like. It is finely aromatic and works lovely as sauce for icecream or yoghurt. It will also make soothing hot beverage for flu symptoms. Despite of the pandemic, we have been surprisingly well and due to drafty floors we haven’t felt like eating much ice cream. For that reason we haven’t really used any syrup yet. Rosehip pure gives me mixed feelings. Making it was really quite tedious job. I’m not sure I fancy doing it again. There is lot of small seeds inside rosehips and they are surrounded by some sort of little “hair”. Cleaning the berries from seeds and “hair” takes lot of time and is very messy. Apparently those little hairs irritate the digestive system so it’s recommended to remove them. I should figure out easier way of doing it though, because I do like the flavour of rosehips. Perhaps I could try steamed juice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to self-sufficiency, I like to try other things too, not just eadible plants. I have tried home cosmetics and washing detergents, several new handcrafting techniques and so on. When my favourite lip balm was cancelled from production, I tried making my own. Allthough that was several years ago. That experiment didn’t go exactly as I hoped, you can read more about it here<\/a>. At some point I will try again, with improved recipe. There is one downside on cosmetic tests. It is very difficult to make tiny portions and for example, 6 lipbalm sticks will last REALLY long time in use. So I don’t really want to make sample portions very often. One experiment which I have been using permanently since then is using white vinegar as fabric softener. That isn’t really self-sufficiency because I still have to buy the vinegar. Allthough it is possible to make your own vinegar too, for example with SCOBY (kombucha). However I don’t really want, nor have time, to sink that deep into self-sufficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
