7/10/09 and what has NOT been done ..
Comments (24)flood - a lot of what I have left to plant out are perennials, which I'll probably put in gallon pots to grow on and winter over. Thanks, proudgm! No, I didn't WS the fern - got it from Bluestone in 2004. Don't know the first thing about propagating spores and such ... The first pic at the top of this thread is the eastern end of my terrace, and was taken around 9:00 in the morning; you can see that it gets pretty good morning sun. The second pic is the western end and was taken around noon - full sun against the railing from about 11:00 or so. So, my veggies and as many sun-lovers as can fit go against the railing. Shade and part-sun plants go against the building wall. Works out pretty well. PV...See MoreRosemary, Garlic. Olive Oil recipes?
Comments (8)km, one good and easy way to use the oil with potatoes is to lightly oil and roast them. Start with about 4 pounds of any kind of potato. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Meanwhile, rinse the potatoes and rub them under running water to remove any grime, but leave the skins on. Dry them thoroughly with paper towels (kitchen paper) and cut them into irregular shaped pieces about ½" to 1" in size. Place them in a mixing bowl, drizzle with ¼ cup of oil, sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of salt, and mix thoroughly so that all the potato pieces are lightly coated. Transfer to a baking pan or roasting dish, spread them out evenly over the bottom and place the pan in the middle of the oven. Roast, stirring occasionally, for about an hour, or until they taste done (not crunchy and not burnt). Another nice thing you can do with your oil is to use it as a marinade for lamb chops or roast lamb! For example, start with 4 one-inch thick loin lamb chops and 2 tablespoons of oil. Remove them from the fridge, rinse with cold water and pat dry with paper towels, and rub them on all sides with oil. Let stand, at room temperature, in a stainless steel or ceramic bowl for about an hour. Heat a large skillet (frying pan) on medium-low heat for two minutes; add 3 tablespoons of oil, rotate the pan to coat evenly, and add the lamb chops. Brown on both sides, about 90 seconds per side. Turn the heat down to low (not too low; you should still hear them sizzle) and cook for about 12 minutes per side, or until the centers of the chops are light pink. If you time it right, you can have the lamb chops and the roast potatoes ready at the same time! Serve with a tossed salad (your oil would make a lovely dressing with red wine vinegar, but that might be overusing it on a single meal) and invite over your Gardenweb mates!...See MoreWhat is wrong with my Rosemary?
Comments (15)I did say MUCH of the US, not ALL of the US. Maybe I should have said PARTS of the US - there have been plenty of posts here over the years from people unable to overwinter rosemary. IMO lack of summer heat is not the problem. We don't get heat here anything like most of you and rosemary thrives. 70 is a pretty hot day over here - 80 is a scorcher. My understanding is that it is the winter cold which gets rosemary in parts of the US below z7. Most of the UK would be zone 8 ish, based on winter temps, not summer ones. An average UK winter seldom goes below freezing for more than a few days at a time. I have a rosemary which is about 20 years old and it has certainly never experienced a 'roasting' summer....See MoreWhat has fish oil (Omega 3) done for you?
Comments (26)I have heard and read from a guy that beat cancer without chemo and radiation that the stuff is soooo processed it causes inflammation!! The only type he recommends is by biotics research. I buy my vit d3 drops from them. seems good. better to go with CLEAN plant omega 3 and make sure your ratios are close to what they should be. Remove all processed foods with a HIGH omega 6 level because of synthetic ingredients/vitamins. For, they are SYNTHETIC and cause the body/cells HARM and DAMAGE. He says "Only flax, chia, sacha inchi, and seafood have more Omega-3 fats than Omega-6." *Otto Warburg info. Warburgs "The Metabolism of Carcinoma Cells" from The Journal of Cancer Research, 1925. "Commercially raised beef and chicken can have a ratio of as much as 15:1 Omega-6 to Omega-3 because the animals are fed grain based diets specifically designed to fatten them up." "The best building blocks of cells are unadulterated Parent Essential Fatty Acids Omega-6 and Omega-3 from organic sustainable sources. The rest of my fat intake comes from foods I consume in various amounts weekly: raw milk, raw cheese, raw pasture-raised eggs, olive oil, avocados, raw nuts and seeds, clean meats (organic grass-fed beef and lamb, organic free-range chicken, wild-caught alaskan salmon). I also take Parent EFA supplements daily. Udos Choice 3-6-9 Blend YES Ultimate EFAs" This is good information. Considering alot of fish are over processed and just full of harmful toxins. Why chance it, if you don't have to? Good luck and good health to you all. :)...See MoreCitrus-Steve
