STORIES OF BASIL,LAMBIC AND CORN

OK thanks JJ, I have blue columbines. I try to dead head them when they end blossoming, unless I plan on collecting the seeds.

JJ I did extra reps yesterday! And I am feeling it today! Now I gotta do extra tomorrow.. and extra cardio too reading that list... boy I could go for a chocolate cream donut! Well at least you got SOME veggies in there....or are those for the kids & husband? lol
Kassy do those puffballs taste anything like portabellas?
(Yes I'm hungry lol...had lunch at noon and just now got home....)
Moon I'm glad you started a new thread, I fell asleep last night trying to think what to call it so everybody would find it...
Hello Dave, Venice, Trina...

No Venise, I ate almost half of that big mushroom.................BF wonders why I'm not real interested in dessert................LOL
Luckly all we had other then that was a burger and beans from the garden. He had some chips.

They taste like sauted mushrooms, but very big ones. Walked out of the house and came back in and could smell mushroom, butter and garlic.

I have to send those picture to my son, he loves mushrooms.................Maybe him and I will have to have a stirfry with them, if any are ok when I go back home yet.

OH Lynn, check it out!!

Kassy, you ate 1/2 of that big thing? I can't imagine eating much mushrooms.

Did it taste like a white mushroom or more like a portabella?

Corn looks great!

Kassy I deadheaded them this year. (when it wasn't raining). I don't collect seeds cause I can't make em grow. Tried it once waste of my time.
I have minature hollyhocks I let reseed themself.

Sauted mushrooms MMMMM

Lynnie now we know why I never have to worry about being to thin. I don't like carrots.LOL
Have to justify myself here. Some of it is for others. We don't have a store here so when there is a good sale I buy alot and freeze it.

You know, I have never had a portabella. We usually get just the white ones.
And actually I didn't eat half of it, I still have 2 slices of it waiting in the dish for me, but I'm more then full.............
1 hamburger
green beans from the garden
and the mushroom

FULL!!!!!

I though Lynn would like the corn ^_^

This is what I found on them, because I have to figure out what I am going to do with the rest of them yet......

Cooking

Puffballs have a rich, penetrating, earthy flavor. These gourmet mushrooms won't get lost in a recipe, even when there are lots of other ingredients or strong seasonings. I've baked pear-shaped puffballs into an intense wild sourdough bread, the mushroom flavor emerges strong and clear.

Puffballs stand up to virtually every form of cooking. You can sauté them, simmer them in soups, cook them with grains, and even bread and bake them in a casserole if they're large enough. They generally cook in about 7-15 minutes. The smaller species dehydrate well. To store the larger ones long-range, cook and freeze them.

Lynnie the corn is getting closer. My neighbors front porch

so did I miss anything good?

I think they are all taking a nap!

figures I come back and everyone leaves..
I feel so unloved!
booohooo

My minature hollyhocks

very nice JJ, I have double hollyhocks in the front but the neighbors evil mutts knocked them all down right when they were getting ready to bloom....ripped 3 of them completely out of the ground

Know the feeling. sometimes I think they see me coming and run hide. See if you want anything besides columbine. I posted my lilies on the old slug thread. I cut off and throw away most the seed pods.

red sedum

oh I like the red sedum...i'd be satisfied for now with some columbine....
In about an hour I will be in heaven

my minature roses

Why in heaven?? DH coming home.lol

I LOVE roses! if you check out the avocado thread you can see all my plants pretty much

Nah kids go to bed...I'll be all by myself...silence oh sweet silence

I have yellow sedum too. I pull it by the tons. I think it would grow on the sidewalk!!

These rose of sharon drop seeds and multiply like crazy here too. Japenese beetles love them.

How do you get teenagers in bed by 9? I can't get a 9 yr old to go without a fight.

My DH pulled up that hibiscus and it came back and bloomed. Happy dance!!

I haven't had a japanese bettle problem

Kassy I'm pretty sure they're hiding in there! Look at JJ that corn has gone clear up to her neighbor's porch!
Jim I still need you to tell me about dormant oil.
Trina & JJ all your pictures are so pretty.
kassy I do wish you would try a portabella for comparison & let us know. That puffball sure looks beefy.
Dave that chocolate looks yummy. Any of those cocoa plants grow well as houseplants?
Moon where are you? Venice, Ican, Rachel....Smileymom.....??

DH?

AAAHHH.....cuz 2 have cross-country practice everyday, 1 cheerleading practice, the 4th has 2 get up an hour earlier than the others for school, and #5 is away at AIT for the National Guard right now

I want chocolate but I'm too tired to get up....

DH dear husband

It's Lynnie! I'd be interested to know if that chocolate grows in the house too!

aaahhh I see says the slightly slow witch who is getting irritated at the website cause its only loading half the page and won't give me the scroll down thingy

Your lucky. They have eaten everything this year. I have to spray like crazy.
This was my pride and joy so pretty in spring. Then lightning got it. Needs to go visit Wilty but can't let go yet. Miracles do happen ya know.
Lets see if Dave and Moon are as good with dead things.

What was I?

I haven't had houseplants since having babies...I think I could handle them now.

ooohhh JJ can I guess?
Lynnie do want houseplants I have plenty to share

Trina mine has been doing that except I only get the ad at the top. Thought it was my puter. GS been playing games again.

Glad to see ya Lynnie

JJ it was a tree! (just let me have this one, I never get any!) hahahaha

Trina I'm waaaay on the East Coast.

Guess away

I'm gonna go with white birch or cherry

So lynnie if I overnight them it wouldn't be a big deal right now

OK
You got it. Now what kind of tree was I?

I got one today too!! hooray!!

I'll deliver. Need a vacation.

JJ, I have hollyhocks too, but the big ones ^_^

Good evening all. How is every one this evening? I see Kassy rates the puffballs Thumbs up. Cool. Hi Lynnie, how was work? JJs nice pictures, lovely plants. Trina, enjoy that silence while it lasts.

Wednesday night, JIm must be at prayer meeting tonight. Haven't heard from Ican for a few days....Moose or Bear or Lambic....afraid one of them got her....or maybe the palm.....UH-OH....I know Cat is vacationing with the grandkids this week. Saw Chezca on slug thread....no word from babeegirl or dixiegril and Rachel...come out come out where ever you are....guess we need to yell Ollie Ollie Oxen Free.....grin....Dave was headed into Hilo.....Venice was here earlier and so was Smileymom...is that everyone?
