Today's lunch was the last 2 pieces of bread I made last week (it's been in the freezer until this morning) along with the last tomato from the garden and the last few crumbs of an English cheddar. Homemade mayo! Trying to figure out how to get my mouth around that! Picture to follow...

My wish came true! Neighbors taking down tree!
Q
Comments (8)
Well, it was a real tree guy and when I got home from work I saw they didn't just take down the dying tree, but both trees next to it too! The whole corner is in the sun now! We moved the hydrangea and most of the hostas this morning. I'm moving the butterfly bush to that corner now and guess what's going in front of it??? :) In the spring we'll till the area and mix in top soil, compost, and dehydrated manure and my garden will be twice as large in the back!! I'm so excited, but who's going to weed all that?

Boxwoods

I wonder if, like lavender, there may be many different types of Box. Some hardier than others. I have seen a couple posts lately from people who were talking specificly about these. One person had a big collection of them. Perhaps if you could find that poster they would know more about how to tell what kind and how hardy. I live in the Northern Willamette Valley, probably quite a bit warmer than you in the winter, but mine have lived through several ice storms with no harm. I have seen them get burned from too much intense hot sun though. This sounds like a question for "BBOY", if you cant find those other posters. He seems to know a tsunamie of stuff about plants and zones:)

sealing and enhancing back splash
Q
Comments (0)
We moved into our new house last month with a few things left to be taken care of--one of which I thought was enhancing and sealing the tile back splash. Builder just informed me that was a "homeowner project". Great. I'm assuming these are like any other products--there's many to choose from. So, anyone care to recommend their choices? Any hints about doing it? Personally, I don't know why this isn't considered to be part of "tile installation" in a new build. Thanks!

plllog it does look purple in the picture! It's actually Lebanon Bologna between ham & smoked turkey. I was wanting to send out the tomato with a bang!

Oh, phew! I knew you wouldn't mess up your sandwich with a big schmear of lavender jelly, and it was too straight and flat to be red onion. Trick of the light is a much better answer. :) The sandwich sure does fit in with your tablecloth, though. :) A masterpiece!

That sandwich DOES kind of match the stripes in your tablecloth!

That tomato certainly did go out with a bang, here there is snow and it'll be a long time until I get another fresh tomato, so I'm envious.

It will be a long long time before we have any fresh tomatoes, too :-( I was so hoping to have tomatoes to Thanksgiving but we had 3 surprise days of below freezing temps. Bah humbug. The sandwich, though, was very tasty. I am planning on baking another batch of bread later this week, but Italian this time around.

sigh.....I remember one year I had a plate of sliced garden tomatoes on the table at thanksgiving. Admittedly they were picked green and ripened inside, but...this year the tomatoes stopped setting fruit about september 20th....too cool at night. going to be a long time before the next BLT with a garden fresh tomato.
