Will my basil die when the first frost comes...
Comments (7)Agree with the others, yes, basil will bite the dust. But, the good news is it is still possible to grow some in a pot for indoors. I do that every year. I think you still have time in zone 6. Basil seeds germinate fast in warm soil. Put a few in a pot and take it indoors when the weather turns cooler (before the frost) :) I use an 8 inch pot, deep one, because they really have a root system. Water every day during the winter and you will be rewarded. I usually keep mine going all winter long in a south window. Love the stuff. Ever make tomato confit? Put whole tomatoes, whole garlic heads, sea salt, pepper, and a ton of basil leaves in a big wide baking pan. Pour olive oil over all and roast uncovered in a slow oven for several hours. When the tomato skins come off, just pick them out. The garlic will just pop right out of the head, soft and yummy. You can freeze it if you like. It is so good on pasta, or used as a dip for garlic bread. Yum!...See MoreMy first purchase of the season - there WILL be more! :-)
Comments (17)kay - LOL it planted itself?? Musta been there for a little while... our's will be planted before the end of the week, I hope. That's if we can afford the soil and other supplies for the beds after I just spent almost $400 on those plants and the lilies I just ordered from Brent & Becky's! ;-) Also, I'm VERY happy that DH is so interested in these gardens... his mother used to be quite the gardener and she loved her plants so I think that's where he gets it from. He may try to hide it from me but I can tell he gets almost as excited as I do about plants! holleygarden - That's too bad that the JM that you tried to plant didn't survive... I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with your abilities as a gardener though... so don't feel bad. From what I've seen of the roses we bought online I'm pretty sure I'll love them too... we'll be buying more this week to fill out that bed so I hope I can at least get that BS under control before we plant. I will be getting rid of the foliage/canes that are infected as much as possible and then spraying regularly all season should help.... I hope! aimee - TY so much.. I've always wanted one. I'll be sure to post photos after everything is planted. Hopefully my lilies will show up this coming weekend so I can plant them too... got A LOT of work to do before we can plant anything though... gotta have some beds to plant in! ttfn Cheryl....See MoreMy first sign that Spring is coming
Comments (66)I know that it has been a lot warmer up here this year than in Colorado so this may just be some encouragement for some of you. And, I'm only going to make one more post on this thread because, it really felt like spring here today. The thermometer said 64°F, the warmest day so far this year. It has already started to rain so . . . it isn't all sun and lawn violets. But yes there are, at least 6 lawn violets blooming in my yard! And, in just about the warmest and most sheltered location hereabouts, I discovered the snowberry bushes were leafing out! Steve And life gets more exciting with each passing day And love is either in your heart or on its way. Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earth To be young at heart. For as rich as you are, it's much better by far To be young at heart. And if you should survive to 105 Look at all you'll derive, out of being alive. Then here is the best part You have a head start If you are among the very young at heart....See MoreMore first blooms on my roses
