2011 Spring Fling Thread III
Comments (129)Dawn, I was posting while you were, but think I answered most of your questions. Yes, I knew where the recipe came from but likely wouldn't have tried it if you hadn't recommended it first. My daughter asked me to make some for her and I think she took 8 jars home. I made a batch of the blueberry-lime also but none has been opened. Al loves blueberries, but is not a big jelly fan so he probably hasn't even remembered that I made it. The store where I went today is where I buy the clear jel like I used for my apple pie filling that I canned last year. I bought some at the Amish store in Chouteau OK, but the store I went to today has a better price. Actually I buy a lot of things there and I think today was about $130. I buy mostly bulk items but I love their cream cheese. I bought 7 grain mix which I sometimes add to bread, raw sugar, bulk coconut, etc. etc. Yes, it was a trip just for that reason, but the main reason was to be away from home and the telephone. Actually it only rang once before we left town and it was the Judge wishing us Happy Anniversary. She calls every year and someday I'm going to ask her, if she is just relieved that we made it another year and didn't appear in her courtroom in an official capacity. LOL She is very thoughtful and never misses a birthday or anniversary and never fails to send a thank your for every little thing. I should be so thoughtful. When I was a child, I lived in Wilson and one of my classmates' parents owned the local funeral home. After I was grown, my sister thought it was great fun to say , "The undertaker asked about you when I saw him." Another daughter heard me mention Baker Creek and ordered a catalog and was excited to know that she could find the tomatoes she was interested in. She just bought a new house and I didn't even realize she had a garden, but I picked up a few things for her: True Black Brandywine and Carbon tomato and Lipstick and Golden Marconi Pepper. She has already grown her plants for this year, but figured those four are sure to get her hooked on heirlooms along with whatever else I send. Actually I was happy with my answer that I bought a few, but after you asked then I had to count. Ugh, seems I have more than I thought but they are mostly Al's fault. LOL I bought Sugar Snap peas because I had a hard time finding a pack this year when I needed some. Seminole Pumpkin although I think I still have some from the swap. Al bought two packages of Tomatillo's which I had conveniently failed to buy because I don't like them, but I guess I have to plant a few now. He bought Tomatillo Verde and Purple Coban. Then he went eggplant crazy and I already had seeds at home. I suggested Ping Tung because I have been happy with those. He decided to add a few extra: Lao Green Stripe, Lao White, Malaysian Dark Red, Japanese White Egg, Florida Market, Louisiana Long Green, Rotondo Bionco Sfumoto di Roso, Jilo Tingue Verde Claro, and Long Purple. I hope he remembers next year why he is building a screen house to grow them in so the flea beetles don't kill them all. LOL I bought peppers but they are mostly just replacement packs since I rarely get around to saving seeds. Sweet Yellow Stuffing, Golden Marconi, Corno Di Toro Giallo (2), Odessa Market, Lipstick, and Santa Fe Grande. I picked tomatoes and so did he, but you probably won't have trouble deciding which ones he picked. Some are weird, one is an ox-heart..... Stupice, Prudens Purple, Dr Wyche's Yellow, True Black Brandywine, Black Early, Carbon, Black from Tula, Pink Grapefruit, Green Zebra, Mortgage Lifter, Red Cheese, Golden Monarch, T C Jones, and Huge Lemon Oxheart. More than one pack in some cases, and a free pack of Love-In-A-Mist. I needed the Sugar Snaps for next year and I wanted to get a Paul Roberson and some additional Black Cherry but they were out of both tomatoes. Please remember that this is my husband of 39 years today, who thinks I should only plant one or two types of tomatoes each year (but loves them all). He is also the same husband who thinks I should have everything I want, and will help me decide what I want in most cases, if I fail to choose for myself. Also, the husband who can't resist a bargain and enjoyed the fact that peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant had 'special pricing' today. I could open my own farmers market if I had a little land!...See MoreThe Catalogs In Today's Mailbox.....
Comments (48)LADYBUGS: Y'all, the reason lady bugs seem tardy has a biological basis that makes sense when you think about it, particularly earlier in the season. Mama lady bug does not lay eggs until an adequate food source already exists. Otherwise, she'd lay eggs, the little ones would hatch out, and there wouldn't be enough food for them to survive. If I see aphids at all, and I seldom do, I usually seee them early in the season. Usually, mama lady bug shows up about 5 to 7 days after I notice the aphids and the babies magically appear a few days later. After the baby lady bugs get busy eating, the aphids are gone very quickly. CATALOGS: I agree that those catalogs cause greenhouse madness and I love looking at them. I could look at them endlessly. Today in my mailbox I had catalogs from NE Seed and Seed Savers Exchange. Dawn...See MoreWalnut / Black Walnut Trees
Comments (63)Maureen, I would recommend contacting your extension agent or local forester for more information on who you might contact for potential removal/purchasing. Trees grown in yard or farmstead settings - unless carefully managed - will likely not attract a great deal of attention from timber buyers due to potential for old nails, wire, etc that may exist under in the tree. I'm in west central WI and had 4 20"+ Black Walnuts we needed to remove last year and we couldn't give away the trees (the trees were farmstead trees/woodland bordering trees). A local timber buyer had zero interest - even in just giving them away - nor did anyone want them for wood burning. We did end up giving some chunks of the logs away to friends though who wanted some for woodworking. While I like Black Walnuts in general, I do not like them in a yard setting as a selection of other plants are not tolerant of the junglone (basically a natural herbicide of the BW) produced from the seeds, roots, and leaves. Good luck!...See MoreLuncheon Menu?
Comments (42)Thanks again everyone for your input. Based on your suggestions, I changed the salad to baby lettuces (farm fresh!), added assorted rolls and butter from our wonderful bakery, and also picked up teeny tiny gourmet cupcakes (in grown up flavors like salted caramel, lemon, etc.). I also bought nice to go containers at the party store. I still had the fresh fruit platter with mango, berries, melon, the cold tandoori chicken, and the leek and goat cheese crustless quiche. But I also made a pearl cous cous salad, based on suggestions here. I served Panna water and Pellegrino sodas. It went well, and I was very glad for the excellent suggestions I got here. The teachers really noticed and appreciated that it was a lighter, healthier menu, and homemade. Since it was only 12 of them it was something I was able to do pretty much by myself so that's why we could do something a little different....See Moreearl
