anyone else super tempted to put out some of their warm season cr
Comments (30)its always possible, here in VA weve had snow in April, if it happens id cover what i could and bring the others inside. it wouldnt be a total loss. Most of my peppers/tomatoes are in containers. Corn was old seed and between you and i, not a variety i cared for anyways and i have probably 2lbs of corn seed that needs to be planted in the next 1-2 yrs anyways i guess it wouldnt kill me, just really pi$$ me off a little(more because its my own fault, and i should know better). Im more worried about another hail storm. had one last spring that just destroyed my garden, including my corn. then 2nd run of corn we had the hurricane......See MoreAnyone else like to go out and enjoy the Sunrise?
Comments (7)That is a very nice Rainforest Sunrise, Paul! I see a lot of flower buds. May I ask, what are the sun exposure parameters (in your zone 5) that it is doing so well in? I too am enjoying my (youngster) Rf Sunrise :-) Deb...See MoreAnyone else fall out of love with their build?
Comments (16)Yes, yes, yes, I have certainly fallen out of love with the build process (but, at the same time am really falling in love with what's finally starting to look like a home). Our tile install is taking forever -- we're on week 9 I think, and I'm only having three and a half baths and a laundry room tiled. I admit that the glass tile in the master bath isn't easy to install, but they just started that this week. I have no idea why the subway and octogon & dot tile took so long in the upstairs baths. I picked it because I thought it would be easy. It absolutely wore me out to visit the house and see mess up after mess up on the tile, or worse, to see no progress at all. The trim guy/cabinet maker is at the house too now, and he's working super fast and doing beautiful work. It's now fun again to track his progress nightly. I got so worn out on the build, that I've stepped out of the build process and am taking a "vacation" from it. For the next 8 weeks, DH is in charge of communicating with builder and subs. I just get to visit the house and tell DH what I like or dislike. We broke ground in October, were supposed to move in in May, and the most optimistic completion date is now early October....See MoreAnyone else pigging out on cherries?
Comments (23)We have eaten quite a few already. I love to go cherry picking, but the season where we usually go will be over by the time we can get there. The season here is just getting into full swing. Bought some sweet cherries and sour cherries this week-end at the market. The sweet ones got eaten as-is, but the tart ones I made jam, froze some, and made pie filling/sauce with the rest. That became cherry hand pies (cookie size, really too small and fiddly but look adorable), and cherry bars (same recipe, using the re-rolls of dough). There was way too much juice before thickening, so I drained some off....mmmmmmm - cherry syrup! Want a taste of heaven? A splash of this syrup over ice, then pour over some soda. Yummy. As soon as I saw the sour cherries I had to get some to make the filling, although I hate cherry pie. I thought "maybe I just always hated canned pie filling". So I tasted the cherry bars. Very good.....I still don't like cherry pie ROFL! But the taste hit the spot. And they won't go to waste. Dh and DD won't touch them, but the guys at work will be eating them out of the container before I even sit down tomorrow! Best way to pit tart cherries? Hold a cherry over a strainer in a bowl. Pull off the stem and discard. Push the straw through where the stem was until the pit pops out the other end. Drop the pit into the strainer. This way you catch all the juices that run off your fingers, and drip from the pits....See Morepetalique
