Loquat tea? (tea from the garden)
Comments (14)Atreelady, something ALWAYS eats my seeds when I direct sow into the ground, and when I try to raise them in pots for transplanting later, I have problems with damping off and other, more mysterious, conditions. The seeds germinate just fine, but somewhere between popping up those first two leaves and being ready to go into the ground, I usually screw it up. (I'm quite sure it's ME. I mean plants have been growing from seeds forever, so it can't be THEM.) I still try them out from time to time, with occasional successes, but generally, I will buy the 4" pots of herbs and annuals instead. It's worth the 88 cents not to go through the aggravation. Plus, I really love the instant gratification of something full and green going into the ground. Marcia...See MoreTea: VC tea, Worm tea, & etc.
Comments (5)First, the reasons I switched from 5 gal pails to 1 gallon milk jugs: 1. I can brew 5-1 gallon jugs at a time...or less, if I want to. (Sometimes I just keep brewing continuously) 2. Because aeration bubbles are vertical, aerating a milk jug with 2 aquarium pump hoses disburses the O2 thoroughly thruout the brew. With a 5 gal bucket, it's harder to spread the bubbles evenly. (If I had 10 hoses in a 5 gal bucket, it would be difficult to have them spaced evenly) BTW, I don't use tea "bags", or O2 diffusers. 3. During the brewing process, I can take the hoses out, put a cap on the jug, and shake it up a little. 4. I COULD brew 5 jugs by staggering the start times (hence finish times). This is really useful if you wanna quit for awhile...or a couple of whiles. BTW, I used the aquarium pumps to de-chlorinate the H2O for tea production but also for my wife to water her plants with. Just started the brews in the pic @10AM. Tea time @10 tomorrow.... cb2...See MoreBlack tea vs green tea
Comments (2)Lately I have been drinking oolong. I like the taste. As I understand, it is between green tea and black tea. For me, green tea doesn't have much flavor, but I have drunk a lot of green tea....See MoreDo these "tea" spoons match my Tea Strainer?
Comments (8)In the midwest -- Kansas and Missouri and in two different places probably several years apart. If there is a bin of silver, I'm always pawing through it! I wanted some 5 o'clock spoons and found these somewhere. I really can't remember where or even how much I paid for them but would guess not more than $10 for the six of them (and probably less). The tea strainer which I thought was a pea spoon I got somewhere else. Probably paid $10 to $15 for it because I thought it WAS a pea spoon. Didn't know either were sterling -- just liked the little spoons (and they had initials engraved on the back -- I'm a sucker for engraved silver) and felt I needed some so I got them. I did notice eventually that they looked like they were the same pattern but I didn't investigate further as far as marks, etc. I was happy with what I had. And I use them -- they are my go to coffee/tea spoon for when I have company....See Morergreen48
