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...

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:)

what to plant to fill in durning the winter months?
Q
Comments (10)
Hey Nell, I just got back from my neighbors where I took some cuttings for his gardenias. I plan on using most of them as foundation shurbs but I do want to save a few for my tropical area. I love camellias too. I haven't found anyone who has one I can take some cuttings from yet. Setcreasea? I haven't heard of it before. I will have to do a search for it to see what it is. I plan on using a lot of pansies in my front yard so I don't really want any in my tropical back yard. My husband and I have both been wanting to get a loquat tree. Do you know when the best time to plant then is? Gurley, variegated cast iron plants? I didn't know they came that way. Ahhhhh, I would like those. Any idea where I could find some? Thanks All! This has been a great help! Kaye

Is muhly grass messy?
Q

They grow wild on my land. There is a huge clump on a bridge embankment on my neighbors. It is a monster and nothing is done to it. It does not die out in the middle. The seeds are not very viable for long. The universe has to arange it self perfect with rain at he time they are setting seed because they do not stay viable for long. I have collected them and tried germinating them and it is not easy so I would say that you should not find it a head ache spreading everywhere. It grows to different sizes depending on the type, depth of soil and amount of moisture. Some clumps, I trim if I am bored and out looking for something to do but I let them all go with a ragged spring time head because I am lazy. it is a strange plant. It will take shade and dry soil but you might not recognize it. It likes stream beds and seeps out in its native habitat. Ranchers use it as a sign of where to dig for a spring. If it is a good sized bunch out on the hill, there is probably a spring not far away.

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!

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.
