Idyll #486 The Wacky Weather Idyll.
Comments (102)Gooooood morning one and all, What a glorious day is on tap for today. PERFECT weather. Its currently 62 degrees outside and so dry and delicious outside I could swoon! Still dry but the sprinklers are running and if these cooler temps continue for a few days as predicted the watering will last for a bit. A person does not appreciate a 70 degree, dry day until dealing with an entire summer of 90 degrees plus temperatures. Doug is off flying. Hes working on a new certification and is learning to fly a tail dragger plane. Ill be content to putter about in my gardens until he gets home and then I think well take a drive or something, or maybe sit on the patio and enjoy the day. Saucy, yes, yesterday was also beautiful but I taught so spent the day in the basement studio. I had to drag myself down there! LOL Youll have to give us updates on the GG paths. Cyn, the only thing Ive held onto is a very small primitive rocking horse that Dougs grandfather made for Heather. Ill never have any grandchildren so I really need to find someone who could use it. Its pretty cute. ~~ Hope your headache is gone. ~~ I dont usually have any weeds in the beds because I top dress all of them with compost in the spring and when any new seeds would be sprouting the borders are all so filled in the weeds dont normally make an appearance. Ill get an occasional oxalis or crab grass in the borders but thats about it. I read an article once from a gardener in the UK who maintained a no weed under any circumstances policy and would police all his borders daily. He maintained that the more you do this the less of a problem they become because you get rid of them before they set seeds. Im so lucky to be able to plan my work schedule around the gardens so I have time to do the maintenance. Kathy, this was actually the hottest July ever recorded here. I wish Id kept track but I think at least three of the four weeks were over 90 degrees and last summer we might have had one day or so that topped 90 degrees. Its incredible and hard to believe you are having a really cool summer. ~~ Love those new lilies! They are such beauties! I especially love that last photograph. ~~ Im looking forward to seeing some new pics from you. Youve really gotten fantastic with your camera! Bug, glad to hear the travelers are all home safe and sound. Michelle, what can I say except I am staggered by your gardens!!!!! How fabulous! I absolutely adore the hydrangea/persicaria combination. In the third photo, is that Little Joe behind the phlox? Its perfectly sited there. And what is the grass and the gypsophila looking plant next to the variegated sedum? Ive tried growing that sedum several times with no success. Im guessing that garden gets full sun? Id love it if youd do a whole thread of garden pics for us. I so enjoy your beautiful gardens. OK Ive spent as much of this beautiful day indoors as Im going to so Im out of here and hoping everyone is enjoying a beautiful day. Deanne...See Moreanother wacky idea
Comments (8)Well the flap on the store bought kits are actually more rigid than the HFGH poly panel. so I dont think it will be a problem. These cats are skilled outdoorsmen and they will be fine. Last night I tried to lock them into the GH because I had my heat on and it was supposed to get into the 20's and I didn't want the boogers to freeze outside (they are not my cats, just indirectly cuz I'm feeding them) and I didnt wan to heat the back yard and let my plants freeze. anyhoo...I got them all in, tucked into their beds, and put clamps on the front doors to hold them together. I came back later to check on stuff, did NOT move the clamps, but there they were the 2 of them sitting outside, playing. I looked inside and out and could not for the life of me figure out how they got out? They must have pressed through the front door somehow. I never saw any panels out of out of wack. Beats me... I think the flap of the same material from the GH will be fine. thanks for your thoughts though :)...See MoreGrowing anything named Wacky?

Comments (4)We smoke our own pork jowl, so we use it a lot (it's a Hungarian thing, I guess :-) It's like bacon but with a very silky texture. Use it in place of bacon or salt pork for bean soups or split pea soup. A traditional use for it is in Cabbage Soup. Brown some slices or cubes of jowl, add a chopped onion, and saute until golden. I add some garlic, too. I usually add a couple of country style ribs (browned in the jowl fat). Add one large can of tomato juice with a little water (I rinse out the tomato juice can and add that to the soup). Add 1/2 head of cabbage (shredded or sliced thick - whatever you prefer) and simmer until the meat is tender. For texture, I add the remaining half of the cabbage and simmer more until the cabbage is just done. Good stuff. Lucky you!...See Morenicole___
