Best tasting Sea-Buckthorn (Seaberry) and HoneyBerry / shade tole
Comments (12)I bought two Haskap(Honeyberry)subspecies,emphyllocalyx from Maxine Thompson,where she had a table at the Orchard Show in Canby,Oregon last Fall.She has done extensive work with this plant from Japan. I was hesitant to get Honeyberry from any seller because of some reports of them being somewhat sour.She said maybe people were picking them too soon and the Japanese ones were better suited to a more moderate climate than the Russian species. I have never tried a Honeyberry,but am looking forward to it.The ones I have are just starting to bud.I'm not sure if it's male and female that are needed for fruiting.What I think Maxine said,that it took two "different" plants.Maybe like Blueberries or some kinds of fruit trees. Here is Maxine's phone number and e-mail.She will be better to talk about these plants.She lives in Corvallis,Oregon.I believe some growers are working with her in other parts of the country,that she may refer to.

Comments (18)I thought I'd respond to your interest in some of the Honey line of nectarines. At DWN they grow more than 1100 different types of fruit trees each year and offering every product to every market is a great way to confuse people and dilute their ability to get the right fruit to the right markets. You are right, Honey Blaze is an excellent nectarine, one of the most widely planted nectarines in the world in terms of acreage. However, it needs a lot of heat to generate its true potential as such it has a limited geographic appeal as a home garden or wholesale variety. Honey Kist, which ripens roughly the same time, has more predictable flavor and a wider geographic adaptation which is one of the reasons it is available in their retail division. Honey May, is only suitable for very low chill locations. Honey Diva is a pretty late variety which will harvest in the mid to late September range unless you are in the southwestern states. Again, that limits who can grow it successfully. I'm confident that Dave Wilson has no less than a dozen sub-acid nectarines that are in Honey Blaze's time slot for maturity but every fruit has it's own limitations. There is no universal fruit for all locations, for all palattes or for the range in grower ability. Likewise, it would be impractical to offer all twelve selections at your local or mail order nursery. The staff of your local retailer would go crazy trying to understand the nuances of each variety. I'm sure that dividing the market amongst the dozen in the example will drive up the costs as well. But I agree, and submit that all of the Honies are great nectarines....See MoreWhole Salmon Fillet...... best way to cook it?
Comments (36)I am much too late to be of any help to starlightfarm with her salmon dinner, but here is a really good recipe for a whole salmon. Salmon Baked in Foil Source: Minneapolis Star Tribune 1 whole salmon, 6-8 lb and cleaned 1 c sliced carrots 1 c sliced onion 1 c sliced celery ½ tsp fresh thyme Salt to taste 8 peppercorns, crushed 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 bay leaf 2 c dry white wine Preheat oven to 400F. Cover a baking sheet with foil. In bowl combine carrots, onion, celery, thyme, salt, peppercorns, garlic, bay leaf and wine. Place cleaned salmon in center of baking sheet, stuff with vegetable mixture and seal foil tightly around salmon. Bake 50-60 minutes or until salmon is opaque in thickest part. Remove from oven and cool. Once cool, remove skin from fish and serve warm or chilled with Hollandaise or your choice of sauce. Makes 8-10 servings.

Comments (19)So sorry. Actually busy negotiating ;) Long story short we are hoping to close end of May. There really wasn't too much to negotiate on in the long run. We were focused on possible mold, possible termite damage, possible radon and out of code vent pipes. After all the research and inspections and (a few hundred bucks) we found out that the mold, termite damage and radon were non-issues and while the vents were not up to current code, they are not the owners problem because they were up to code when they were installed and per our plumber they could essentially be left alone. We are choosing to change it because any potential threat to our family's health is serious to us but that is not the owners problem. At first they said it's our problem, but we kindly asked them to reconsider and they agreed to split the cost. It's a total cost of $400 so it's not really that much in the big picture but anything helps right? I kind of wish we asked for other things like the electrical work to be done but I don't think they would have done it anyway. So in the end, it's all good and we are finally getting the house! Thank u to all for your words of wisdom!...See More- 5 years ago
