It´s all about pruning and training of those lanky roses
Comments (64)I have a question about Gertrude Jekyll. I pruned mine after its last flush to about 2-2.5ft and it looked pretty tidy for about two weeks It's since put out a couple of basals and new growth that has to be 5ft at least at this point. Gertrude Jekyll on 8/2/16 Gertrude Jekyll 8 days later As you can see, my GT is looking kind of gangly - Clearly I didn't prune it hard enough! My question is is it necessary to wait until after the cane blooms to cut it down? This is sitting out in front of a window at my apartment, and is kind of an eye sore to look at, plus, I don't want to draw unwanted attention. If it helps to know, I'm in NC zone 7b. AKA humid and hot!...See MoreIt’s a planting frenzy!
Comments (52)Ingrid, I am so shocked. You do have eagle eyes :) . I did not made that but order it Bec I wanted savory dish and I knew everything will be sweet. It was all gone and it was delicious made by the owner . I thank him for that. My favorite was scones with whip butter made with oranges skin and something. I will be getting the recipe next time. Vap, my friend from Pennsylvania made Pizzelle sprinkle with white sugar powder. It was the best one I ever tasted in my life. The store ones taste nothing like homemade. Mandy moved back to PA about 5 yrs ago. She loves to cook and bake. I called her Mrs. Claus Bec she is so kind, loving, big heart, Rosy cheeks and very, very motherly. Actually, everyone at work including guests thinks she is Mrs. Claus. I was reading on Souvenir Umi and looking at pics. I am not good in this at all but hopefully I learned to be skillful one day. jin...See MoreIt’s finally backsplash time!
Comments (1100)Flo, that's the Nabi Jewel. I have a sample of it. Pink, I also have a sample of the blue macaubas and white marble in the basketweave. (Esplanade Winter Lake? ) diff color, but this is how the layout looks it's gorgeous. I have a sample in the black and white option, and the Linen one,,far left. you can see the Nabi Jewel 2nd from right they only give you two little bars for a sample. Order one full sheet if you really want to see how the tile will look. that's what I did w/their black/white , Cindersmoke, or the Black Beauty. the other blue/white is pretty. But they are both expensive, sign up for their trade program. you get a nice discount. they have this design too. this is no cheap date tho. that's why I mentioned the trade discount Nabi Argyle. comes in diff colors do you like this kind of tile layout pink, have you also looked at encore ceramics? they have some beautiful blue glazes, all sorts of shapes/sizes, and you can blend colors. look at Rain in the chevron. man it's pretty or imagine this, but in these diff blue crackles, or mixed w/the marble. they can do 3 or 4 colors Lapis and Azul wave ignore the shape, but look at the color blends. so pretty peacock and light azul in the flame wave or these color blends. (they literally have 100 diff shapes and sizes) larger chevron in Ocean gradient blend...See MoreIt’s Time to Think About Thanksgiving Menus
Comments (51)While we don't have much variation year to year, I do love the meal. We do our turkey on the grill and have for the last 20+ yr. It is amazingly moist and flavorful. No sweet potato casserole, just baked sweet potatoes (my preference). There is always green bean casserole though and roasted brussels sprouts (this recipe sometimes changes) .. also corn. I make creamed onions-- I can't really eat more than a bite because of the milk but it's a very old family recipe and it seems only I can get the thickness and garlic-white pepper-black pepper ratio just right. I don't care for our stuffing-- it's boring and just not worth the carbs/calories. I also usually pass on the mashed potatoes though they are delicious. I load up on the veggies. I am sure many of you will cringe but most of us like cranberry sauce from the can lol ... but we also have my Aunt Ruthie's cranberry walnut salad. The gravy has a wonderful taste from the charcoal grill .. and some of us like it with the roasted onions, carrots and celery included. It used to be a treat my dad would save just for me (the veggie lover) but now my sister and a few others love it too. Of course there are breads and rolls. We don't do appetizers -- it's just too much food. We do start with bloody marys in the morning as I help sister prep and cook.. then move on to cocktails or champagne by afternoon when guests start arriving. There are always MANY pies. I very much dislike pumpkin pie and rarely have room or desire for dessert but the selection is mind numbing. Always a peanut butter pie and usually a couple of apple pies, blueberry, raspberry .. I like a pumpkin roll but don't make one every year. A very traditional, not-so-fancy meal. If I could change it at all ... it wouldn't be much. I'd make a more interesting and flavorful stuffing and add something with wild rice. I'd love a soup too but logistically, it wouldn't work well. PS. It is getting harder and harder to get the onions for the creamed onions. We have tried fresh pearl onions, frozen but the absolute best are Aunt Nellie's Holland-Style onions in a jar. I just ordered 6 jars! I don't know if the recipe is swedish or ukraine (i should research it) but it is from that side of the family. Dad loved them and some of the rest of us like them-- but they are a prized leftover because they are great to add to soups....See More- 4 years ago
