Happy New Year! And radishes...

4 years ago

Happy New Year everyone!

Here are my pets facing 2022 on this morning’s walk. There seems to be a certain amount of alert anxiety in their stance. Kind of how I feel.

Radish festival - I have never heard of this but I want to go. Amazing!!!

Looks like fun and colourful too! What a great way to integrate an area's food!

Now I really want some radishes!

Happy New year to you as well! Cute pets!

Edited to say Pets. Meant to say Pets but wrote down pups probably because I was letting out my pups who were demanding to go out into the snow :-). Only one cat tries to go out every time. She's not allowed without the leash.

The snow and pets look lovely! We don't get snow very often.

Happy New Year to you too!

Katy, Logee's is certainly an adventure in itself. I've been going there for years. My first times were when Joy Martin was running it. Even squeezing through the aisles single file is worth it. So many exotic plants growing over, under and around! It's only about a 40 minute ride for me. I don't know of any other greenhouses that have that kind of variety. The botanical center at Roger Williams Park here in Providence is big and interesting. There's a $3 admission though. Lunch afterwards would not be a problem. Providence has tons of great restaurants. Maybe some others here would be interested in one of these or something else. Bill

Happy New Year to you, too! To take more pictures. There really is something to having an annual video diary of the garden. The Juniperus scopulorum I planted as 6 inch seedlings in 09 are now 5 - 6 feet tall. I have an apricot I planted as a 2 ft whip 2 years ago that's now approaching 8 ft. These are wins I should celebrate more! Last night I downloaded a couple of maps of champion tree tours in nearby towns. I plan to visit them over time. I'm hoping that will help me learn to work smarter, not harder by choosing trees that will grow here. And yes, worry less! I think that's on my list every year. Barb

Happy New Year!

@yeonassky - it really looks like fun. I think it is a possible future eccentric garden party activity.

@Islay Corbel We still get snow but not as much as in the past. I actually prefer snow to ice/sleet/rain - although I don’t love it when we get several feet at a time. Once the temperature gets well below freezing the air is drier and it is more comfortable to be outside. And a good layer of snow keeps the house warmer.

Oh my! Lobster rolls! Yum. I was dragged somewhat unwillingly for a long long wait for lobster rolls during a Downeast birthday adventure a few years ago. I love lobster but mayonaisse not so much. So I have always avoided lobster rolls. Red’s is an iconic lobster roll place and they make the buttery kind (no mayo). They were messy, decadent and delicious. These look fabulous.

I am planning some fresh spring rolls with microgreens. I am still working through my Christmas mass production. I was thinking with tofu or poached chicken - but maybe some lobster....

OMG! The closest i've come is the pedestrian radish rose. That is amazing! Thank-you!

The pets look at ease waiting on the commander’s speech. ;)

"I am planning some fresh spring rolls with microgreens. I am still working through my Christmas mass production. I was thinking with tofu or poached chicken - but maybe some lobster...."

I've been trying to get to spring rolls for a month now. Or sushi. We have had oysters every way i can think of since christmas. Spring rolls i like shrimp. Or hot smoked salmon. Will be excellent with all our microgreens. I have the ingredients for both.

I'm an in-betweenie about lobster rolls. Connecticut goes way overboard with the butter. Too much on the bread and way overboard in the toss of the lobster meat. NewEngland goes overboard on the mayo dressing. I butter and toast the spit-top bun. (the inside) Gently warmed lobster meat, not hot. Tossed in a bowl with the most scant of dressing using some horseradish, a tiny pinch of tomato from the tube, lemon juice. And the inter tender core of celery with the leaves. Half a shallot, both minced fine. A green onion to the table. The smallest mayo for creamy. No capers, gerkins....

My BIL is a great cook but he butter bathes everything from eggs to steak and overboard with mashed potatoes. I like a pat of softened butter, but melted it is just greasy to me.

Cool radish festival. A;ways impressed with the Mexican celebrations. So colorful. Have not heard of that one!

Love the pets!!! Roxie liked going out in the snow on the balcony. If she was ever off-leash, she'd probably have been off in a shot.

Her footprint heading out.

That looks like my driveway right now, and we're headed towards another 8-10". It's been in the single digits, so my cat asks to go out, gets to the open door and starts yelling. He's been on the porch once, for about two minutes, complaining the whole time. New kitten made it out once. He knows better now, lol.

Happy New Year!

I share the apprehensive sense of anticipation.

Here's hoping for a better 2022. Sadly, it's not off to a great start...

We got a 1" dusting the other day. Here in NC it is only a bit every other year or so which suits me fine. I grew up in Toledo where I believed it was cold from September to Easter, Went ice skating on the Lake on Thanksgiving days - it was so cold and we scraped snow off to play. Memories are warmer than reality.

About radishes: Those little people made from them are fun! But, give me a fat half dozen, mandolin sliced thinly as paper, on heavily buttered crusty white bread with a dash of Kosher salt, and maybe some tiny chives. Heaven.
