Marvelous -- I get the sense the first garden in this series is a "young" garden where the garden writer is still working on the bones, yet it will be mag one day. The 2nd one is obviously more mature and what I might imagine of a CA garden w/ a mix of "English" plants w/ the more exotic Z9 plantings.... sheesh, what an idea to put a water wheel in one's backyard! Lorepetalum Ch. is marginal here; I'd love to try it but doubt its winter ability -- farther south in VA it's no problem. These gardens are scrumptious. --cindy

The recipe was from Euell Gibbons (see link): " Euell relates, "I peeled the roots and cut the starchy cores in thin slices and put them to dry on clean papers in my attic. At the same time, I decided to see if the cabbage leaves improved by drying, so cut a number of the cones of tightly rolled leaves into thin slices and put them to dry on separate papers. While working with these products I was acutely aware of the skunky odor which seems to permeate every part of the plant. After a few weeks of drying the odor disappeared, and as with other arums, it seems that drying and aging dispels the biting pungency and acridity which makes them inedible in the fresh state". He goes on to relate that he ground some of the root chips and mixed the meal half and half with wheat flour for pancakes. When the familiar burning occurred, he dried the remaining chips for a total of six months for further aging! Again, Euell notes that he ground the chips to a fine meal, mixed it half and half with wheat flour. This time there was no burning sensation at all and the flavor was pronounced, but very pleasant, a bit like cocoa. By adding butter and maple syrup, the pancakes were "unusually good"."

No problem, Paula; glad you have an appreciation for my hijacking of your thread. You posted the following: "Indeed, you've been a member since 2001, what took you so friggin' long to decide to leave if you hate us so much. All of 34 eh? Your lack of wisdom unattained as yet is evident." Clearly you lack the intelligence to read and then understand what I wrote in my posts. Who do I hate, Paula? It's a fact that many Americans abroad make their presence known in a crass fashion. Saying that doesn't mean I hate all of you. As I said, some of my closest friends are American. Why have you asked why it's taken me so long to leave? Are you that stupid, Paula? I would have thought that it's obvious that my decision was swayed by the bull**** written by bboy and his self-belief that he actually knows what he's talking about. Yep, I'm 34 years old; can one not have wisdom at that age? I know plenty of much older people who are not wise. You know very little about me, so by making that judgement, it may well be YOU who has picked up no wisdom along the way, otherwise you would know better than to say such a thing. Amazing that you can judge based on a few posts. You must be a magician. One more thing, Paula, just to make sure my posts have the same consistent tone..... fcuk off with the other two morons who have replied to me. Offensive enough for you?

Fringed Bleeding Heart Here's a list of plants to try for the middle zones of 5, 6, and 7. The weather is less extreme during Winter and Summer than the other regions. Many, many plants will thrive and grow in this temperate climate. As alway, please do a bit of research to assure that the plants you would like to Winter Sow are appropriate for your zone and climate, and if you're ever unsure then do hold back some seeds to start indoors.
