Plant Poaching
Comments (69)I don't think collected SEEDS in a public park or even a store's parking lot is stealing. They are ugly and any nursery/landscaper worth its salt would deadhead. Taking cuttings is another issue, though. Taking those things from a private home is creepy. BUTTT, I have taken cuttings and seeds from property way out in the country where the houses burned down YEARSSSS ago and no other homes were nearby. Those turned out great. Good thing I did that, too - a logging company came to one of those areas and tore everything down, even the VERY old apple tree...lots of nice shrubs gone in half an hour. I thought about offering to cut back the shrubs of those homes for sale that looked so unkempt. (and keep the cuttings, of course). But, I think I would've had to cut even the ugly shrubs, so didn't ask. I should've just asked. I have given away many plants. I often try to root many more cuttings than I need in case something happens to some. SO, the extras I give away. From now on, though, I will keep them to trade. I had a trading system going on with my family members for a while and we were all very happy with the results....See Moreeggs eggs eggs and more eggs...
Comments (4)WOW what a great find, I can't tell you what to do about the eggs on the leafs, I'm new to raising cats. I have been looking and looking for monarch cats and have only found 4 and one died, but our first one came out of his cyrisalis this morning. on the other hand we have had plenty of BST cats. good luck with all the eggs michelle...See Morepoaching eggs??
Comments (18)Well. I just tried the vinegar tip, the one about cracking the egg into vinegar. Lo and behold, probably the neatest free-form poached egg I've ever made! Barely any white feathering off the egg at all. So I repeated the experiment, replicating as closely as possible, without the vinegar. An even more beautiful egg! (The one on top, in the picture.) This one feathered a bit more, but not even close to unacceptable. The only sense that I can make of this is that since I knew I was doing these one at a time I used a smaller pot than normal. I did stir, so the smaller pot may have helped the effectiveness of the vortex. Oh and by the way, the age of these eggs? They have a pack date of 187 (July 5) and a sell-by date of Aug 18, so they're anything but fresh. I'd have to experiment more to come to a conclusion about the vinegar, but I can't help but question the age thing....See MoreVegetable Tagine With Poached Eggs from Aziza
