Did you learn anything new this year?
Comments (5)I also tried a mix of cherry tomatoes and it sold very well. People loved them and kept coming back for more. I had Black Cherry, IsIs Candy, and Dr. Carolyn. The Black Cherry is a for sure for next year and I will probably grow the others also. I also plan to grow some other different ones to add to the mix. Was planning on trying the yellow, red, and black pear tomatoes next year for a mix. I think people would really like those too. People always love our colored peppers, and were especially crazy about our purple ones (Islander from Johnnys). The purple ones sold out every week, and is another thing people just kept coming back for. I plan to grow those next year and add another purple variety also (different shade of purple). I also grew one type of green sweet pepper and people loved that also. I plan to grow other types of sweet peppers next year. I grew Bush Baby Zucchini (from Johnnys) and that seemed to do pretty well. DidnÂt grow too many of them since it was just a trial, but next year I plan to grow more of them. In the spring our salad mixes did really really well. We did not plant any fall lettuces and greens though because we have big plans for the area we plant them in and are going to be working on putting up a hoophouse, and rearranging everything. No one else at our market sells lettuce and greens which is why I think they sell so well for us. Well those were some of my biggest successes and I will have to post again about what some of my failures were....See MoreAre you making anything "new" for Thanksgiving?
Comments (47)bob_cville, I'm happy to post the recipe. It came from the New York Times in 2009. Fiery Sweet Potatoes Time: About 2 hours 5 pounds sweet potatoes 1 cup coconut milk 1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon salt. 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake potatoes on a baking sheet until very soft, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, peel and mash. 2. In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk with curry paste over low heat. Mix coconut milk mixture, half the sugar, half the butter, and salt into potatoes. Keep warm until ready to serve, or cover and refrigerate up to two days. 3. At least 30 minutes before serving, heat oven to 425 degrees. Put potatoes in a baking dish, cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover potatoes, dot with remaining butter and sugar and broil until brown and crusty on top, checking often to prevent scorching. Yield: 10 to 12 servings. Notes: I've made this, the full 5lbs, following the recipe up through step 2. I've frozen it in portions at this stage. If I'm serving it to guests, I'll finish it with the butter and brown sugar because it makes a prettier presentation. If it's just for DH and me, I skip this. It's good enough as is.

Comments (10)I've started some persimmon seeds indoors and hollyhocks,will transplant them outdoors later. Also a few Lycoris squamigera and chionodoxa bulbs. I planted several new german iris rhyzomes, a solid red and solid pink that may bloom next year. Last year we planted crocosmia lucifer, foliage came up, no blooms.... they should bloom this year.

Comments (22)Yep and it was good!!! Spinach Maria 2 pk frozen chopped spinach 1 pk 8 oz cream cheese 1 medium onion, chopped 1 cup Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon butter 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste) Instructions for Spinach Maria Cook spinach according to directions, drain very well (I let cool, then squeeze out the water in a paper towel or cheesecloth). Saute onion in butter until tender. Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Add spinach, parmesan cheese, and pepper. Cook several minutes more until well blended. Placed in greased casserole dish and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until browned on top. Cover with shredded cheddar cheese. Enjoy! I'm not a fan of cooked spinach, but I love this one....See MoreRelated Professionals
