You can also freeze starter if you bake very infrequently, but I find it does fine in the fridge so long as you feed it at least once a month.

Do you mind me asking..

if it’s a tomato plant..did you take all the seeds and ferment them first?
If you don’t then most won’t sprout..you have to get rid of the out coating.

sincerely,

Boston Area Farmers Markets: 2011 « eyes wide stomach — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 03:23:01 +0000

[...] It’s been a very rainy April this year in Boston: over 4 inches have fallen thus far, with a bit more likely before the month is over (last April we got under 2 inches). It’s what we’ve heard is supposed to happen this month. April is wet, and then, just when you can’t stand it any more, things turn beautiful. If you’ve been around the greater Boston area in the past few days, you’ve likely already noticed this phenomenon coming to pass: flowers are blooming, tree buds are blossoming, green shoots are appearing in spots which before were dominated by browns and grays. It’s official: May is upon us. It’s ridiculously exciting, really. It means that the sun will once again warm us. It means that chirping birds will once again wake us. It means that… oh man: Farmers Markets are back. If you’re not a frequent Farmers Market customer, 2011 is the year when you’re going to become one. It can’t be overstated how important it is to support local farmers and sustainable growing practices, and purchasing food at Farmers Markets is the most direct, simplest, and easiest way to do this. The Farmer brings his or her produce to Boston, and you buy it from him. That’s it. There’s nothing else to it. You can talk to them if you want. Or, you can just buy it and leave. There’s basically no more important thing you can do as a food consumer than to directly withdraw your money from the corporate/multinational food system and place it directly in the hands of a local grower. That’s all the power you have, and it’s more than enough to make a difference. When you stop buying eggplant grown in Chile and start buying eggplant grown in Massachusetts, less eggplant will be grown in Chile and more eggplant will be grown in Massachusetts. You don’t have to overthink it: what you do makes a difference. People define how the world works. So, act how you want the world to act. Let’s have local farms. Let’s exercise greater control over our lives. It’s better. So is the food. Here, then, is your 2011 Opening Day Schedule. Don’t see anything here in your area? Leave a comment! We’ll help you find one. Or head to the official Mass Farmers Market website and search for one near where you live, work, or commute. The Boston area has a lot of Farmers Markets; everyone, including you, has the ability to get to one on a regular basis. If you can go to the grocery store, you can go to the Farmers Market. It’s slightly less convenient, but it’s way, way more fun. Go with your girlfriend/boyfriend. Go and meet a new girlfriend/boyfriend. Go after work. Go on your lunch break. Go on a weekend. Find yours, get to know it, fall in love, never look back. (And it always bears repeating: Haymarket is not a Farmers Market). [...]
