Comments (46)Joe, I found this recipe on the web last week and tried it with the first butternut from my garden. My husband says it is the BEST squash dish he has ever had! I am inclined to agree even though I have never been a big squash fan. My advice: reduce the oil to 2 Tbl., reduce the bacon to 3 strips cut in slivers, and enjoy! http://www.food52.com/recipes/7438_savory_and_sweet_butternut_squash On another note, I did not intend to plant butternut! I bought seeds for two different winter squashes but the vendor must have mis-labelled one of the seed packets. In any case, if you grow kabocha, I have a kick-... recipe for that too. Here is a link that might be useful: Savory & Sweet Butternut Squash...See MoreSpindly Tomatoes - doomed or not? + Peppers/Eggplants Growth?
Comments (48)So I'm back - yeah my last post made me feel kinda bad because I feel like I failed.... but hey that's how you learn. I'm going to continue the process - until late May - at which I will come back for advice again before purchasing plants from store. Unfortunately every nursery I call tell me the same thing "We are not sure what we're getting this May. We should have some variety" - EXTREMELY vague and I did make 9 calls - all the way to 40 minutes out of my home location. So - in terms of my peppers/eggplants... frankly when I replanted them - they barely had a stem on them - they did have leaves though - IF my memory serves correctly. So I'm not sure how much I buried - I do remember being a little surprised though because within a week their stem length doubled (I thought the transplant would injure them so).... their leaves didn't change much at the time. Either way... I'm scratching my head because the pictures don't indicate that... perhaps I'm confusing things. Eitherway - I am blasting them with the lamps and I did start with the fish feed (my cats were swarming around me) - how many hours of artificial lighting would you say they need? I hope they improve - I am seeing a marginal improvement with the peppers.. but not the eggplants. I will post updates. So my "real" reason for posting - well I have tomorrow (Monday) and Tuesday of and I'm ready to replant tomato seeds pending recommendations here. Again - the tomatoes are a little under 2 weeks old since re-rooting the cuttings. It's been about 4 days since my last set of tomato pictures - they've had their first fertilization 2 days ago and 4 days of light (directly under lamps + near window). I've noticed some serious improvements in some plants and others just crumbling. The middle of the tray - forgot the varieties - one is black kim I believe - anyway I definitely need to reseed. They are looking much more green (they are greener than the picture)/healthier - still could get a bit more green... anyway would appreciate any thoughts on them...See Moreis this peach tree doomed?
Comments (5)No, doesn't have to be organic, although I prefer that. I think I'll try soapy water spray, and A hose rinse afterwards. Only have a bilge pump in the ditch running off a car battery, so the hose pressure is very weak, this will be a PITA. It Might kill the ladybugs on there too....See Moredcarch7 d c f l a s h 7 @ y a h o o . c o m
