Comments (6)Hmmm let me think. They were about 6-8" tall from top to ground. Approx 1/2- 1/3 of the bottom was the green stalk, the upper portion was the "cone" of the flower. I cant describe the flowers well - but they were lots of small individual flowers or petals that made up the cone. I cant recall what the foliage looked like. Grandma lived in central Pennsylvania, zone 6a/6b. IIRC the flowers came in the spring when we would visit for easter. They were growing along the southern side of her house. The flowers were solitary in the sense that there was just one actual flower cone that was comprised by a bunch of petals. I cant recall if they were perennials - I want to say they are but am not sure. I dont know if they were from bulbs Thanks for the help - it's been 25 years. I would like to grow some in rememberance - Grandma loved those blue flowers, her huge peony and lilac bushes and always grew a bumper crop of zucchini.....thanks again for the help with such a vague description....See MoreCan ice cream bean trees can be rooted by cuttings?
Comments (2)I dont know about cuttings but from seed they grow very quickly and very big. The inground trees I've seen are giant. There must be some variability in the genetics though, one of the seeds I planted is big and very vigorous the other appears to be more dwarfed but still healthy. if you have access to a tree give cuttings a try but start some seeds as back up. -Ethan...See MoreIce cream recipes, please!
Comments (29)Here's an interesting one that I haven't yet tried, but we almost finished up the chocolate sorbet tonight, so I think this one might be up very soon! I found the main ingredient up in the Sonoma area (wine country) in Northern CA. This brand has a sweet, lovely taste. If you can't find it in your town, they do ship! They're a small family company too. Verjus Mint Sorbet Verjus is the tart, unfermented juice of unripe wine grapes. Verjus (pronounced Vair-Zhoo) literally means "green juice." It is an elegant and delicate alternative to both vinegar and lemon juice in cook. Because this sorbet is made from verjus, it goes well with wine. Check out Ice Cream, Sorbet, Granita, & Gelato Recipes for more recipe ideas. ________________________________________ 1 cup sugar 2 cups water 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves 1 1/2 cups Verjus* 2 tablespoons vodka * Verjus is found in specialty or wine stores. To learn more about Verjus, check out my web page HERE. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, water, and mint leaves. Stir until mixture comes to a boil and sugar is dissolved; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; place a fine strainer over a large bowl and pour syrup mixture through (straining out the mint leaves). Add verjus and vodka to the strained syrup mixture; stir until thoroughly blended. Let mixture cool to room temperature. NOTE: The vodka (or any other type of alcohol) is the secret to a soft sorbet. Alcohol itself does not freeze and adding a little bit keeps the sorbet from doing the same. Vodka is excellent to use because it doesn't affect the taste. Ice Cream Maker - Transfer mixture to ice cream maker, process according to manufacturer's instructions. Freezer Method - Pour into container, cover, and place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover and refreeze until serving time. NOTE: Can be prepared 3 days in advance. Cover and keep frozen. Makes 8 to 10 servings. Here is a link that might be useful: My Verjus choice...See MoreCA Kate z9
