scapes...i'm gonna have A LOT. what to do?
Comments (9)I cut my fattest garlic scapes into little pieces, blanch them in steam until they change colors, and freeze in little bags so they are ready to use from the freezer. I like them better than either onions or garlic in egg dishes, and my newest trick is to include them in buttered breadcrumb toppings on casseroles. The skinny little scapes from my smaller varieties we use fresh. They will keep in the fridge for a month. Do cut off the flower end, which is too tough to eat and can make refrigerated scapes lose their crisp texture....See MoreWhat to do With a LOT of Meyer Lemons?
Comments (21)Hi, Patty, I am SO jealous of all those beautiful lemons, and Meyermike and all of you others who post those lovely photos of your lemon trees. I hope mine will look like that again soon.....a few years ago, when I wanted to make Limoncello, I went to every drug store, grocery store and big box stores around here, looking for vodka, and everyone looked at me as if I was strange. Finally, in exasperation, I asked, "well where DO you buy liquour here"? Apparently, only in ABC Warehouse stores, contrary to Mich., where you can buy it almost anywhere. Sorry, for going off the subject. Johnmerr, hello. Saw boxes of Meyer Lemons at Costco and quickly checked to see if they were yours! One day soon, I'm sure. I finally repotted my Meyer Lemon again, and it seems to be doing a little better. The leaves are still yellow at the tip (will they stay like that, or will they turn all green if the cultivation is all correct?) I thank you all for your suggestion to move it to dappled shade. I still have not joined Photobucket to try and post photos. Soussan....See MoreSweet Olives/Tea Olives
Comments (4)I have lots of these. At first I planted them all in the shade, or in partial shade (that's what the gardening books said to do). I noticed the best ones were the ones in the most sun, so I put 33 of them around my rose garden to enclose it. The rose garden gets full sun and these sweet olives really took off. You can really tell a difference between the ones that get enough sun and the ones that don't. We are talking 4 times the difference in size just based on sun. So maybe that's the answer, but it's probably not the answer you wanted. They WILL survive in the shade, as you well know, but they have less leaves and less blooms and almost no growth. My soil is really acidic, but I don't know what kind of soil they prefer. Clematis, for example, prefer alkaline soil but mine are doing great....See MorePIC Olive green plaid fabric/floral area rug/ baybronze olive pa
Comments (13)The rug is Kensington Chocolate ,made in USA, distributed by Oriental Weavers of America, purchased at Lowes. If we stay at this home another year maybe we will be putting in a wood floor which we are currently doing in the bedrooms. I need the open floor space for my grandson, so I can't put a coffee table in at this time, there would be no place to play!!! The tiled entryway still needs a rug, should I buy the same rug in a smaller size?? Thanks for everyones suggestions, I'm still thinking..I'm bummed that I lost my fabric sample for the panels while shopping and my fabric is on backorder. Hopefully it is the right choice for panels, I doubt I'll find something better shopping, but I'm enjoying the search....See More- 10 years ago
