Mint Julep Juniper
Comments (15)jeeeez ... we must be hard up for conversation ... we will even re-argue prior conversations .. lol .. i said, with the qualification of 'speaking generally' : most shrubs take to rejuvenation pruning but conifer/trees do NOT ... speaking generally ... === e.g. to prune a lilac ... which i presume we will all agree is a SHRUB .. we remove 1/3 of the plant at ground level .... that is rejuvenation pruning by definition ... but if you do the same to a juniper .. you may or may not have the success you would with a lilac ... and the way to research such things.. beyond asking us ... is to understand that words mean things.. and you have to understand such word usage.. to do the research .. trust me.. i spent the first 20 yeas of my garden life calling EVERYTHING that was not a tree/perennial/annual a shrub ... and i really didnt start to 'learn' .. until i understood that the use of common terms such as shrubs ... does not really lead one to insight into what any given plant is .. nor where to go with it.. should something need be done with it ... so all i was trying to do.. was edumacate the OP a bit .. so that should we fail to answer her question.. she could do her own research ... what i couldnt find.. was an old article on the amer. conifer soc. website that spoke on how to prune conifers... regardless... glad i could roust you all from your mid-winter slumber ... even if it was just to rehash an old conversation ... marg... you need to find out why it is browning ... otherwise.. simply cutting off the brown.. may NOT solve your problem ... check out the link.. ken Here is a link that might be useful: link...See MoreOther than tea-uses/recipe for mints?
Comments (15)you could make mint oil, add equal amounts of mint leaves and oil into the food processor and chop fine, Use this in your cake recipes, brownies, breads, etc. mix it with other herbs and make a pesto, you can strain it and make it into a bread dipping oil. refrigerate any leftovers, it keeps almost forever. steep mint and other herbs in wine vinegar, do not boil. my favorite is orange mint, orange zest, thai hot peppers, and lemon thyme, with a bit of ginger root. add a bit of sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and concentrated orange juice and use it for a chicken maranade. mint is excellent with lamb. use it in a salad 3 tomatoes chopped 1 med onion chopped 1 bunch or large handfull of mint, chopped 5-8 green onions or scallions, thinly sliced juice of 2 lemons salt put all ingredients in a bowl and chill for an hour, serve with grilled chicken or fish Tomato soup with couscous 2 Tbs olive oil 1 onion chopped 1-2 carrots diced 14 oz can italian chopped tomatoes 6 garlic cloves chopped 6 1/4 cup veggie or chicken stock 1 1/2 cup couscous, or alphabet noodles 2-3 sprigs mint chopped 1/4 tsp ground cumin 1/4 bunch cilantro cayene pepper to taste salt and pepper cook the onion and carrots in oil of about 10 minutes until softened add the tomatoes, half the garlic, stock, couscous, mint, coriander and spices bring to boil add remaining garlic and simmer for 7- 10 minutes until couscous is just tender serve hot Chopped Veggie Salad 1 each red, green, and yellow bell pepper seeded, and diced 1 carrot diced 1 cucumber diced 6 tomatoes, diced, I prefer romas 3 garlic cloves chopped fine 3 green onions or scallions sliced thin 2 Tbs chopped cilantro 2 Tbs each chopped dill, parsley, and mint 1 hot pepper chopped fine 3-4 Tbs olive oil juice of 1 lemon salt and pepper to taste add all ingredients, toss, and serve chilled mint can also be added to any green salad...See Moreroses roses everywhere
Comments (5)Also, I found out that its original name was "emerald mist" and that apparently cold weather can make it turn a dull gray- but I live in Pasadena, TX, so it doesn't get too too cold. I wondered if anyone has grown this variety?...See MoreLooking for a green rose
Comments (4)Email Jerry at Jerry's Jungle. Ask him the email of his pal Merrill. I went to one of Merrill's plant sales in SW Houston. He is a super sweet guy. And Merrill had some old antique green rose for sale. It was NOT fragrant and it was just plain strange looking, not really much like a rose in the flower part, but rose leaves. He had prop. it from an old rose at his family's homestead....See MoreTNY78
