Sprout Jar/Rack/Tray Kit Update

You can go to my post HERE to see the jar/rack kit I purchased. I bought it on Amazon, but can't remember the brand etc. Anyway, I love this set! The jar lids are wide lids, and fit any wide lid 1 quart jar (came with 2 as well). The lids have groves to hold the jars sideways, which is needed to keep the jars drained between daily rinsing, and the tray underneath is perfect to catch any drips. I had been using a kitchen towel. Anyway, this was the next day after soaking and rinsing day 1. Works perfect, and no hassles trying to balance the jars on the counter.

This was 2 days after initial soaking. By the way, I soak for the first day, rinse and drain for the night. I rinse daily. I will be sprouting some microgreens for us soon using these. Current sprouts are lentils, I sprouted for the chickens. I take the black out cover off to rinse, then wipe the jar and cover again.

Day 3 after the initial soak and drain.

Day 4. All ready to feed to the chickens.

I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.

But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year. It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin. My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it! He joked I could not have it back. I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned: horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it. I then made horsetail salve. I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal. I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe). We'll see if ours works just as good. I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year. I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year. They a...

The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with. I made a salad and cleaned the beans. The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so. The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract. It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling. I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time. Update soon. Chit Chat © August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
