Topic: fish
Today I made fish stock from the heads and backbones of the red salmon we dipnetted from the Kasilof River yesterday. I buried the bones in the rows of seeds that didn't germinate in my garden very well: some cilantro and thyme. Other cilantro did ok. Some of my seeds are probably too old and I should throw them away.
So now I have some room to transplant the greens that germinated very well and are too crowded. I'll wait a couple of days for the soil mounded over the bones to sink down a bit before I do the transplanting.
Over the years I've buried many a salmon carcass in this garden. I sometimes stick my finger on a pointy vertebra bone that hasn't decomposed yet.
