Has anyone seen Cut Flowers of the World (book) yet?
Comments (5)Well I actually requested that my library buy it and now I have a copy in hand that they purchased at my request. :) It's a well done book and covers a wide range of flowers but for me it doesn't go into enough depth. Specialty Cut Flowers by Armitage and Laushman is much more useful for me as a grower. I think that Cut Flowers of the World would be most useful to florists or individuals who are mostly interested in floral arranging rather than floriculture. I've included a link to a photo of two facing pages so that others can see a typical example of the format of this book. There are about 40 pages on care and handling of cut flowers (only 6 pages on cultivation and harvest) and then 329 encyclopedic pages in the format shown in my photo. It is nice to have good quality photo examples of the flowers but as a grower I also need in depth species specific information on production and harvest. Here is a link that might be useful: Cut Flowers of the World Example Pages...See MoreHas anyone taken a class here or know someone who has?
Comments (17)It is always a treat to hear David speak whether on horticultural topics or anything else for that matter. The first time I met Senor Bahia was when he was doing a slide show talk for the Succulent and Bromeliad Society at the Strybing Arboretum. He was showing gorgeous slides of places that he has traveled to that were jammed packed with 'succulent' horticultural treats. I have since heard him speak at various horticultural events sponsored thru the California Hort Society, On the various Hortisexuals tours and events , at the Arboretum and in writing here on The GardenWeb. He is an excellent speaker and when using slides to illustrate a point , they are beautifully composed and in perfect focus. He is considered "The" Horticulturist's Horticulturist. While on the last Hortisexual trip down to L.A., he was the most sought after person in our wild and crazy group for horticultural identification. And that says a lot considering whose who in that group.. ( some of the most knowledgable and talented horticulturists on both the east and west coast ) >>>> ( as a matter of fact Cady, I think you will be speaking with one of the east coast editorial Hortisexuals soon ) ,, good luck ! we'll put a good word for you....See MoreFound Painting books on sale
Comments (6)Way to go! I wish we had Hobby Lobby here in the NW. I am a self-proclaimed painting book junkie and can never have enough. I ordered several books on clearance or sale over the last 2 weeks. Be sure to check these places on-line each month for great sale prices on different books.... http://store.viking-publications.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=VFAP&Category_Code=Sale http://www.decorativepaintingstore.com/store_tole_decorative_painting/index.php?cPath=1...See MoreHas anyone found an acceptable GF bread?
Comments (35)I haven't read all the above posts, so sorry if I repeat anything. Nicole Hunn: Gluten free on a shoe string. She has some free downloadables including a recipe for GF English Muffin Bread. I have made many of her recipes including the dreaded Green Bean Casserole. I have made bread from her book but I have moved on. Sourcing issues. I like other types of recipes she develops. http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com Elanas Pantry. Full of really healthy and GF options. https://elanaspantry.com No Gluten NO problem, full of good interesting recipes. I have made bread from this group. Wonderful pie crust and pumpkin pie recipe, too. http://nogluten-noproblem.com America's Test Kitchen: How can it be gluten free cookbook. Made many breads from this book. They have english muffins too. They take the time to educate on why a particular ingredient works or doesn't. This can help you learn to convert a traditional recipe into something you can eat and enjoy. The ( or a or some) trick(s) to successful GF baking is or are: 1. sourcing some of the ingredients. Baked goods needs structure and without gluten for structure, you will need other things that act accordingly. Not all of these ingredients are at the grocery. I have found some at a big health food grocery or Amazon. Honeyville Grain is where I buy my almond flour. I keep it in the freezer with a 1/2 gallon mason jar in the Fridge for immediate use. Time. Same ingredients will benefit from a rest period to incorporate the liquid into the dry so you don't get a dried out loaf of tasteless cardboard. 3. Patience and sense of adventure. Changing our diets can be challenging at best and very discouraging at worst. I did it to improve my health which far exceeded any expectations I ever had. This is backed up by blood tests plus pleasant surprise by medical professionals. If you really don't want to get into all this because it can get expensive to get the right equipment and ingredients then Trader Joe's bread is totally acceptable. It has a decent mouth feel, doesn't fall apart and is affordable. I buy several and keep them in the freezer for sandwiches. I used to use Udi's for emergencies but it can be rather dry and does fall apart. So no more of that. I also like Food for Life Brown Rice Tortillas. I use them to make a flatbread to go with soup or a quick pizza. Hope all the GF'ers have a great day....See More
