Anyone else with good spring sprouting?
Comments (4)After damp nights and sunny days I'm seeing plenty of flower buds and new leaves. In the veggie garden all the peas are up - as are the sweet peas (which are poisonous by the way, but mine always bloom after the edible peas die from the heat). The first of the rhubarbs has got its nose above ground along with rows of radishes. The highlights in the flower garden are the lilacs which after many many years have finally emerged covered in buds. These are the solid white kind, I dug these up from my parents yard in Oklahoma before we sold the house. I was about to give up completely but someone told me to change the soil ph to alkaline which seems to have done the trick. I'm happy see the large redbud tree covered with flower buds, they are notorious for being hard to transplant but I just couldn't leave it at the old house. It lived for one year in a pot before finally getting planted. It seems to be handling the transition just fine. For the first time ever the loquat tree is making fruit! whether these will fill out and avoid being eaten by squirrels remains to be seen. Last year I planted an olive tree that had just gotten too big to overwinter inside anymore. Due to the mild weather this winter it has survived and is covered with flower buds. It made ONE olive way back when I first bought it as a tiny twig of a tree, hopefully this year will be different....See MoreMy goodness, anyone else getting buds already on Christmas Cactus?
Comments (13)So nice to see buds! Sometimes I just enjoy the leaves and forget about the bonus around the corner. Love the new growth on Cristen Aurea Variegata, looks like she had her nails painted. Madame butterfly is in the lead with the largest bud of all my TC's. I have another hanging basket very similar in size just starting to bloom too. -Nancy...See MoreGood Grief!

Comments (17)Yeah, it's...interesting, to say the least. It really doesn't seem like Houzz and these garden forums are a great fit. And things seem to be getting worse. I hope they have some incentive to improve things, and ultimately to keep the garden forums alive. The changes that have been made seem to suggest otherwise. Do any of us actually patronize Houzz, beyond forum usage? I know I don't. In fact, if it weren't for the banner at the top of this page currently announcing a "rug sale," I'd have no idea what they sell, or even that they sold anything. Nor would I care. If you visited my home, you'd find that most of my furnishings are purely functional practical stuff, and I'm ok with that. Any "design" or "style" within my home is entirely accidental, LOL. (The fact that there even exists a forum devoted to "Design Dilemmas" perplexes me to no end; the only reason I know about it is that it keeps popping up and forcing me to de-select it in order to post in a gardening forum. Argh). My garden, on the other hand...now THAT's where I spend my money, time, and effort. And it's entirely for myself, not for "curb appeal" or for whatever other concern the recommended forums on this site keep promoting. Anyway, all grumbles aside, my real concern is that if we're all (from Houzz's perspective) a bunch of non-profit-generating dead weight, why should they care about keeping us happy? I do miss Gardenweb. Kinda like how I miss actual garden-related programming on HGTV. Hopefully these forums aren't headed for the same fate....See MoreGood grief - flour shortage!
Comments (134)Yes, you can make starter with grapes. Or whole grain. Or any number of things. Wild yeast is on them. It's all the same kind of yeast. The bread doesn't have to taste different if you use wild yeast (sourdough starter), unless you're trying for a yeasty taste. Commercial yeast is a different strain than wild. Regular bread will taste the same if you make it right. The real issue with using wild yeast is that the method is different and it takes a lot longer, and getting a good rise out of a new starter isn't guaranteed. All over the 'net, however, all kinds of people (especially young ones) are catching yeast and baking breads both sour and not from it....See Morelackboys3
