I made the first candling of my quail eggs a sacred event. Here are my egg babies surrounded by symbols of the summer prosperity of this house and the land. Brid and Myrrdyn both made their presence felt. Blessed Be! #paganism #quail #urbanhomesteading #summerharvest #quailsofmastodon #quails

An incubator containing 12 happy quail eggs and covered with flowers, fruit, and various symbols of our home's prosperity

Bought fertilized quail eggs via Amazon, and put them in an incubator. They should be hatching around June 19th. Follow me for updates! #raisingquail #quail #urbanhomesteading

Soup in the slow cooker.

Homemade red sauce for pasta tonight and as a pizza sauce tomorrow.

Sourdough pizza bases proofing tomorrow for dinner tomorrow night.

All of this from ingredients I got cheap because they're the seconds that the major supermarkets didn't want.

Also got a sprig of basil (I don't have my kitchen herbs in yet because I'm moving soon) and the remainders will get dehydrated and used to refill my herb jar.

I bottled my vinegar and kombucha today. The vinegar is going to mature for another 2 weeks before being capped, and I'm going to find a vessel at some point this week to make a cranberry vinegar.

This month's kombucha is plum. Next month's will be peach and mint.

Seems I will even need to net the small pot as he even tried to scrap and fit his bum on a small pot. This pussy likes to dig. He had a few goes trying to lift off the net but it’s well staked on. That’s my broccoli pussy, it’s not for your paws and bum! Eventually he got the message and pooed on our lawn, which is ok because that’s the wildlife area.
