Hey weed! What Hosta?
Did you know the shoots are edible....if you want to set your plants back that much!...just to keep this cooking related.

Weed!!!!!!

Nope - I did not get your email.....

That Seafire you sent me is the only one that the slugs still feast on! Everything else in the garden looks pretty good (or did until 18 straight days of 90 degrees and no rain) but that poor Seafire looks like Alpine Lace Swiss Cheese again!

Glad to hear you are still growing strong :-)

I'm pretty much betting it ain't that sorry a$$ Whirlwind!

Alexa: You didn't use the right email! Put a dot between weed and 30 please ---> weed.30

Lindac: Blasphemy!!

Hey I didn't invent that idea!
Think escargo....or escar-go.

Oops, Lindac: It's Blue Ivory.

I have to add this, and I will qualify it as cooking related too:

I am very close to buying a new house, and narrowing down my options. My top two contenders happen to be within 2 miles of the bakery that sells Maple Walnut Pastry. I think some of you will remember my post on that! If I buy one of those homes, look for me on the Diet forum :)

Hey, Weed! I'm glad to see you here, even if I don't have a single hosta and don't intend to get any. (to eat or otherwise)

Here, they are more commonly known as "deer bait".

The Maple Walnut Pastry? OK, now you have my undivided attention...

Annie

Another one waving hi! Come back and be bad with us!

I'm a fellow convert to Reynolds Wrap Release. I use it everywhere. Yup, there too.

Annie, I hate to disappoint, but I don't have a recipe for the Maple Walnut Pastry. It is only sold at one bakery in St. Louis, and it's a flaky/crispy croissant type dough, lightly filled with an ethereal goo that is reminiscent of pecan pie filling. It's one of those things that is so good that when I am eating it, I don't want anyone even talking to me so I can focus on how freakin' good it is.

Escar-go!

Oh geez, Weed, that's just evil. Nearly as bad as Jessica, sheesh, but I'm still glad to see you.

And it's 10 am and I haven't had breakfast.

Annie

I am also a lover of Reynolds Release. I especially love it for roasting veggies..it is like a miracle! Nothing sticks to that stuff!

Love that picture of Escar Go..it is adorable!!!
Joann

I love Blue Ivory and it has been on my wish list for a while..... I am getting mroe selective though.... how close is it in look to Aristocrat or El Nino? I love them both but do I need another look alike?

And I am comparatively lucky I guess.. I have never had actaly snails in my garden, but I have had the huge Banana Slugs that are about 4 inches long!!!!! yuck!!!!

Alexa, your garden looks so pretty. I have a hosta like that one. I have deer netting over it right now. The deer ate all my impatiens in the front, and nibbled the hydrangea. I "netted" all the rest of the deer candy before they came back.

Weed! So good to hear from you. Hope life is good. Or should I say goo-ed.

Alexa, let me echo Pam's sentiment...your shade garden looks refreshing and well cared for. Pretty!

Hi Weedy! We miss you 'round here. I hope whichever house you find has a great kitchen, or one you can mold to your liking. What's the name of the bakery? (If it isn't a secret.) Goo is Grood!

The bakery is called Breadsmith, and I'm just realizing now that it's a chain. Some of you lucky folk might get to try one of these Goo-lorious pastries! Breadsmith

Alexa, Blue Ivory looks to have a much wider white margin when mature. Here's a little {{gwi:1528297}} for you.

Heya to Jessy and Pam too! I am definitely getting a decent kitchen. The good thing is that I would prefer an old ratty one that I can re-do, so the homes with those cost less :) And if I buy one with a gas range, I can't wait to go over to the appliance forum and say that I'm switching to electric. BWAAHAHAHAHA!

Waving Hi to Weed! Great to "see" you again! Good luck on the house purchase. Post pics when you're in, won't-cha?

Oooh...I think I have seen a Breadsmith somewhere near here! I may meet up with you on the diet forum! LOL

Linda

Weed, that's where I first met you -- on the Kitchen Forum. I would love to be able to re-do a kitchen again, knowing what I know now. I would never ever get a porcelain tile floor, that's for sure.

Electric???? OMG, they will hunt you down.

Weed, if you do do a kitchen, try induction. It's electric with an attitude!

Hi Weed :)
