OK Enablers. I need a smaller yellow than Mrs Dudley Cross.
Comments (17)Shopshops, I can't seem to pinpoint your gardening location. Blumenschmidt and Franziska can be persnickety, but they are also happy in the right climate. I have entertained growing them in PDX and know that they will not grow as well as they did in TX. As Molineaux suggested, some locations are prime for these two teas and as Ingrid suggested, in some locations these roses are bad to worse. Can hardly wait to hear about your choices. I don't have much garden time these days, so I'm gardening vicariously through the forum. Carol...See MoreI have been enables
Comments (6)Thank you all. On yes, I am having an absolutely glorious time on this forum. I am reading all of the old posts. I love seeing pictures of your beautiful plants and my "have to have it list" growing. Last night "Dawn" made it and I already know that sometime, someway, somehow, I will have to have Omoshiro! I have to have it! I look to read your posts and see your beautiful clematis. I can't do a lot but water and dream for the moment, but rehab starts Monday and maybe the thing will speed up then.

Comments (41)Peppi, Thanks for some levity! I was doing a search for 18 hour bread when this link came up and NO WHERE is there a mention of bread! I raise and process all the chickens we eat-over 75 last year...and those feet take time to clean and definitely make great stock. Unlike your purchased ones, my chicken feet are dissected at the base of the drumstick-so are probably twice as long as the ones you purchased. Am not sure how you stewed yours-as I have not come across the suggested posting. My main way of making any stock is the ASIAN way: cover all bones,onions, garlic, ginger,etc with water, bring to a slow boil, cover and turn off heat one hour. Bring to boil again, turn off heat and let set one more hour. For unfrozen chicken parts of six months of age or less, two hours tenderizes all. For 1 1/2 year old layers or old roosters (the whole bird or just the feet), I bring to a boil the third time, and let set one hour. I cool and then freeze the broth in 1 or 2 quart paper milk cartons. It's a treasure. When we lived in a village in China, the farmers sparingly got the most quick heat from their rice straw (fire fuel), and have used this technique for generations. Besides making stock from the poultry feet, the feet are considered a delicacy to eat...often with a soy and fish based sauce...very rich tasting! I have yet to see an English-Asian cookbook refer to preparing poultry feet. None of the chickens nails were painted! Actually, it was rare to see any Chinese women with nail polish. cella jane...See MoreDo I need a grape vine? - looking to be enabled
Comments (0)CecileSo these past few days I've been drooling over the Cecile Brunner pics on rosenotes.com Needless to say I am thinking seriously of pulling out the flame grape which has finally decided to cover the top of my treated pine arbour and replace it with a suitable climbing rose (one that's good for cutting preferably). The parrots beat me to the grapes, so a rose would probably a better use of the spot, and the 28s will be just as happy with Rose hips as grapes anyway. Id be happy if I could get CB to look like the one in the pictures, but is there another rose that would be even better? I think I'm in zone 10 (very light frost if any) and realy like the look and form of teas. Adam might be appropriate,but would it achieve the same look? My other arbour is covered with a white wonga-wonga vine which is smothered in flowers in springtime and a rangoon creeper which has taken five years to start looking like something, so a pink to apricot rose would look good. Yellow might be a bit of a color clash. And it has to be fragrant. What other climbing teas would do the trick? Or should I just commit to a life of trimming and go for CB?...See Moregumby_ct
