Would you eat seminole pumpkin grown this way?
Comments (16)Hi writersblock. No, I have not tried Seminole pumpkin at all. Not sure if I would recognize one if it bit me, but I have had very good luck with sweet potato and white potatoes both in a large "tote" style container and in the ground. Their runners generally get to about 8 ft long. I generally plant the tote with 6 or 7 seed 'taters to use as a test bed before digging in my main bed, and you're right the vines will put down roots in fertile soil. For containment of the long vines I have encircled the large bed with a cheap roll of picket fencing and as the vines get long I just flip them back over on top of themselves. Right now they are stacked about 2 ft thick. This technique might work for you also. Before I forget to tell you, I have found a mulch that is great for all plants and I have used it with success this year. It's chopped straw (not hay) with a coating that glues it into place. Lets the water and air thru but doesn't blow away and the best part is that at the end of the growing season I just till it in to add organics to the soil. Are you aware of this product?...See MoreOh shoot, another would you eat?
Comments (5)Was it red in the middle? If so, it might have some proliferation of bacteria. Heat it to above 140ð F internal temperature and it should be fine. It's probably fine anyway, but if you have any family members who don't have the strongest immune systems (children, old folks, pregnant women, people who are ill anyway, etc.), you might want to be very careful. If it was well done, it should be fine....See MoreWhat Would You Eat With Salmon Patties
Comments (38)Lots of people who think they hate fish will eat the ones I make: salmon, egg, sweet potato, onion, parsley, almond meal, hot sauce, paprika, cumin, lemon juice. It always makes me laugh when I make something else for the fish/salmon-haters and then during dinner one of them says, "Do you have any more of those?" I usually serve them with rice and either a salad or sautéed greens....See MoreWhat Would You Eat With Liver and Onions?
Comments (48)My Mom & a few of my siblings had a blood disease known as Spherocytosis(sp) that causes a sever iron issue. Hmmm ... I'm not familiar with this, but many of my family members have Hemochromatosis -- a blood condition that is connected with excessive iron -- I'm wondering if these are connected conditions. What Hemochromatosis is: a normal person eats something heavy in iron, and his body keeps what's needed /discards the rest through the urine. A person with Hemochromatosis "holds onto" the excess iron ... it makes no difference to a young person, but between ages 50 and 60, the excess iron builds up to the point to make itself known: the most common thing is Cirrhosis of the Liver, but kidney disease is also common. The thing is, that excess iron builds up in the internal organs, and it causes cancers, etc. The treatment is simple: Give blood every six weeks -- other people can use the blood -- it isn't tainted in any way, and by discarding blood regularly, the iron cannot build up to problematic proportions (you may also be guessing that women are better protected from Hemochromatosis, even if they carry the condition). Yes, I am obsessive about giving blood. Are you, by chance, Irish? Hemochromatosis is almost exclusively limited to those of us with Irish blood ... but if you have a single drop of Irish blood in your body, your chances of having this condition are excellent. Anyone else of Irish descent, make a New Year's Resolution to be tested for Hemochromatosis in January! Back to liver ... my family has never been a big fan of either beef or calf liver, but we will eat chicken livers 'til the cows come home -- seriously, my three brothers would fight someone for a chicken liver. We LOVE our chicken livers. The secret: Never deep-fry them, as restaurants tend to do. Drench them in seasoned flour, then fry them gently just until done -- if you over-cook them, they are nasty. We always eat them with rice, gravy and peas....See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
