1. Brown rice syrup can replace corn syrup in many recipes that have a strong enough flavor to disguise the brown rice flavor, which I find to be very mild.
2. It's time to plant peas. I'm going to plant sweet peas and snow peas. I will train them up a naked canopy structure. It has lost it's fabric by being outside in one too many storms. It is a 10' x 10' frame that I will experiment with growing vegetables on this year.
3. I made yogurt for the first time and am waiting patiently to see if it worked. I even took a long walk and admired the blue color of the bluebirds flying from the small trees down to the fields.
Here is the directions that I followed.

The whole preparation went surprisingly fast. Results to follow.
I had also attended a small garden class given by the local Master Gardeners at our nearby community center. I will forward the class notes when I receive them. It was recommended
to draw up the garden plans on graph paper before you begin.
4. Plant alyssum with tomatoes to discourage tomato worms!
I also need to look at my journaling from last year to remember what a certain plant is, since it has lost all its leaves and doesn't look like it wants to come back. I picked up a small flat rock on my walk so that I can paint the name of the plant on it and put it in the pot so I can remember!
So excited that Spring is around the corner.
