Will sorrel grow here?
Comments (5)boil baking potatoes and an onion in good stock. Add spices and salt to taste (I like a little chili and salt). When cooked, blend the soup with one or two handfuls of sorrel leaves, stems removed. serve immediately. the secret is to blend instantly when leaves and soup are in the blender. then the soup will stay a bright green. if you wait, it will turn grey. Baking potatoes are much easier on your blender than waxy. Sorrel soup with waxy destroyed our previous blender. I also add tallow or olive oil to the soup when serving. This is served in April and for Thanksgiving here....See MoreGrowing Sorrel
Comments (1)I am growing French sorrel, which is a perennial. I bought mine as a small plant and had it growing in the ground for about a year. It did well throughout the summer, and set some seed which I promptly cut off because I didn't want the plant to die or the leaves to become too bitter. Then I decided to move my garden so I dug up the plant and moved it into a large pot, where it is now doing very nicely. Last winter it provided fresh leaves all winter, and my only problem was finding someone who wanted to eat them. I now have a friend who likes sorrel, so that shouldn't be a problem. French sorrel is a very attractive plant and is not invasive, but I don't know about red sorrel. Edible pods that taste like cranberries certainly sound interesting, though....See MoreI'm growing sorrel!
Comments (14)LOL, was the plant where deer could get to it? I have deer crossing my yard regularly here and they LOVE it! Had to move it into the fenced in portion of the yard where my dogs are to prevent the deer from eating it all (The dogs have a lot of trees to 'mark' so the herbs are safe.) It is a perennial by the way--I started out with one small plant in '06. It came back in '07--with 4 'crowns', which I divided into 4 plants. This year it came back again and I separated it into several more, so I now have about 10, looking a little like green hostas....See Moreslow gardening in July...
Comments (39)Hi The Tradition I have been so busy today after I found a lost dog when I was walking on the trail this morning, she looked tired and sick. After she rested all day and we put posters on the trail and the internet for the owners to find her, we called the animal services so she can get the medical attention that she needs. Now about the Brogdon I got it in a nursery by my house called My Kids Tropicals, I got it in a 5 gallon pot, the largest one that they had and I don't remember what time of the year I planted but it was probably after we moved here around spring time. The first 2 years we did protect it from frost, after that never because it is big enough and like you said we have a nice microclimate with the 2 lakes around, my neighbors were telling me that last week they saw a 6 foot alligator hiding in the bamboo at a nearby house. The tree is very healthy and never needed any spray for bugs or disease. Hi Morningloree, very nice! Silvia...See Moreruth_mi
