Sundews are coming up in thick, glittery mats, and it makes me want cheese. Ever since I heard the digestive enzymes in the dew can be used as a rennet substitute, I've had a mission. Sometimes I'm slow with my missions (killed all of last year's experiment before it ever touched milk), but when I latch on like this, I never give up. I hear vegetable cheeses can be a bit bitter, but I eat dandelions, so I'm cool with that.
omg, but i LOVE cheese... googling this now, pls share source if handy
@fernfren I have no real source, I heard a mention during research for the coloring book (I still giggle at the thought of researching for a coloring book), so I dug around and found a few descriptions, but it was a hunt and I didn't save the links. I found it was usually D. intermedia and D. rotundifolia, as it was an English thing. They would line baskets with the leaves and pour milk over it. I checked for toxic sundews to see if I could try other kinds, found none, in fact...
@fernfren Last year I had a plastic shoebox, thinking the cover could come in handy when I want to keep bugs out, full of these little mesh pots, but the year was full of mishaps from lights burning out when I couldn't afford more to the time I didn't keep a close enough eye on my water filter and the minerals got too high. This is all that's left, I transplanted the stragglers and these survived the transplant. So, won't entirely be starting from the new seedlings, but close.
