good idea for the use of those ice cube trays. I never use them, they are shoved in a cabnet somewhere. I have an ice machine in my frig and never think to use them. What is the saying out of sight out of mind. I guess I need to find them and use them. I have one of those sealing machines that would do good on getting out the air between the cubes of sauses.
pirl, I don't drink wine or champagne, but I doo drink tequila, ohhhh those rita's with lime... mm good.
Rosemary
I drink Cosmopolitans, my way. More juice than vodka and always the lime. Yum. 7 minutes to go before I have my first one of the night.
Planted my rosemary today at the top of my strawberry jar. I've been out since 10:00 and I'm weary but I'll look for the name tomorrow. The nursery had a full grown one and it reminded me of those trees along the California shoreline.
The rosemary is named 'Pinkie'. The trees are cedars in California, on the coastline.
Has anyone heard of Pinkie?
Jumping over from "Top 10s" Georgia the cold truth is rosemary is not hardy to my zone at all. Hardiest is zone 5 but I keep trying to push the zonal envelop. Seed is cheap and it's easy to grow so you never know one year it may survive.
I don't know why, but I sowed seeds in a raised mound ( like a raised bed with no boards) between 2 cabbage plants last Friday and they are already coming up. ( I did the same thing on the other side for Cilantro )
I'd like to know how soon I should move them/transplant them, and what am I going to do with all these plants? =)
Pirl, I never have luck growing herbs in a strawberry pot. My oregeno is dying in mine as I type. some of the bottom holes have hens and chickens (is that the right name?) , but I thought at the time that it would look cute like that. when I get off my rear, thats next on my list to do, is move that to the ground.
I read once that for Strawberry pots, you should insert a piece of PVC in the center before you fill the pot with dirt; you also need to drill holes in the pipe and that will insure that it gets watered at the bottom. Made sense to me.
I didn't realize the age of this thread and don't even remember if Pinkie did well or not. This year I planted the strawberry jar with two packs of lobelia and it looks like something from a magazine! Why is it the cheap plants always work out so well?
hahaha...goodness. am I embarrassed! I was slumming thru Herbs and since I'm still learning, opened up that thread.
LOL. this will teach me to look at dates.
No problem at all. It's fun to look back.
