Weather sucks big time
Comments (24)Those of us in Vermont are also singing the blues. It's been a terribly cold and rainy month to date and they are predicting light snow tonight. I have lots of warm weather plants scattered throughout the house and basement. I started many too early and, of course, they're getting too big. However, at least some things like this cold, rainy stuff. I have a large number of raised beds and they certainly have been useful this spring. Several weeks ago I transplanted seven varieties of onion seedlings, various brassicas (broc, cauliflower, cabbage, kale) and several varieties of head lettuce and they all seem to be doing quite well. I am also very pleased with the growth of garlic this spring with some of the plants almost up a foot. I experimented with gutter peas this year. I had never heard of growing peas like this. I moved the gutter peas to the garden early last week and have been enormously surprised to see how well they are doing. They were about three inches tall when I moved them out and grown at least an inch over the past 10 days. Unfortunately, the pea seeds I directly sowed in the garden soil two weeks ago have yet to be seen....See MoreWhat have you learned so far this season?
Comments (83)I learned something this season that I knew was coming down the pike but didn't know when, now I know when. For the first time in my gardening history I'll have to stop expanding the garden and start to shrink it next year. I've reached my upper limit on what I can successfully maintain and due to slowing down myself so goes the garden. Missing from next year's planting list will be Onions, Cantaloupes, and perhaps Butter beans. I'll still grow watermelons but on a smaller plot with smaller melon varieties, I just can't pick up those Big ones trying to tippy toe through vines without twisting my ankle or getting a hernia, ha. Will hold onto planting the main staples of the veggie world....as long as possible :)...See MoreCooking Burnout...anyone else??
Comments (37)I enjoy cooking but I have alot going on and there are times when I am pressured because I must have TIME to cook. I find meal planning helps as does the crock pot, making a meal that will feed us more than once (leftovers which is pretty easy since there are just two of us), etc. I do NOT enjoy grocery shopping at all. I try lots of new recipes - lately thanks to Pinterest and Facebook. Many are keepers although I've tried a few that were definitely not. Tonight is a chicken/dressing casserole with roasted sweet potatoes and I have not decided what other veggie - or perhaps I will do a salad instead. Keeping salad items ready and on hand is another big help for us. tina...See MoreWhat's for dinner tonight?
Comments (7)Baby spinach and arugula with roasted wild mushrooms, cured bacon goat cheese and a whole grained mustard vinaigrette....main course, Jumbo lump crab cakes served on a bed of risotto with caramelized onions and roasted asparagus. It was our wine and dine group Christmas dinner and everything was yummy. I brought half of it home and will have it tomorrow night for dinner. It's a good thing, too because I have a big day tomorrow with lots of running around to do after my luncheon....See Morejessicavanderhoff
