Edibles - '09

It's almost as bad as the "s"word. Now that it's May I'm trying to forget those words.

'friends'??

snort

Onions and leek sets are growing like crazy. How many leeks can one person eat anyway? I've got to get something else planted!

mmmmmm Leek soup mmmmmm

i just planted 100 leeks in the garden that were started by seed

I thought that there was a state rule that only allowed you to eat clam chowder?

sometimes i like leeks in my chowda

Leeks are mighty good roasted with other root veggies! And how about leek quiche?

Leek quiche would be good mmmm.

Debilu - I'm with you....I can't eat flowers either. I have psychological indisposition (PI) to eating all types of babies. That's why I can't eat venison as well. I actually have PI so bad that Hank has to throw out the wilted flowers in vases in the house. He doesn't even ask anymore. I have to turn my head. LOL

That's funny Louise! That's why I don't eat veal.

yummmm veal...

I had the BEST homemade guacamole and salsa yesterday and I got the recipes!

Yeah, I don't eat veal either, and when we go to a BBQ place in the south, I just pretend that BBQ is not made from animals. I'm a terrible hypocrit when I'm hungry.

yummmmm bbq.... I think I'm going to tell hubby to make brisket for me for mommy's day.

No broccoli, Louise? That's a flower!

Please share guac and salsa recipes!!

Don't like veal. Not crazy about lamb either.

Victor - I always make sure to cut my broccoli before it flowers. LOL I bought a pack of broccoli plants today...getting late to get them planted, so I'll get them in tomorrow. I'm planning to buy the rest of my veggies from Sherrie. But, the onions I ordered from Dixondale Farms arrived today.....4 days ahead of the date I requested for shipment. Good thing we were here! I got Walla Wallas and Alisa Craigs. Those do the best for me here. And yeah......no lamb for me either. Too cute......and don't even mention rabbit to me....Never!

Ok...

Will it work in NY?

Thanks Jen! I'm hungry now, didn't have dinner.

Well yours can be called 'Salsa made in NY from a recipe in NJ'

^_^

Sorry to say I do like veal & leg of lamb----and definitely brisket! But we are trying to eat more veggie stuff----at least 2 days a week I make only nonmeat things----but I love the organic frozen Indian meals which are all veggie----can't get DH to even try one---would help if we had an Indian restaurant in the area, but we don't. Also like tofu from the Chinese place, but I like it sauteed---not very healthy!

sneaking in the back way

Thermo says ???

Timing is starting to be critical to wheater or not I go roadside to sell. I posted pics last week with Willyb. They have shot up maybe 4 inches in less than a week.

Last pic. The romas that you see 1st are a week older than the rest. When they start to shoot - man I am telling you they shoot

Ok one more pic and thats it. I am outta room. I have flowers outside, under the flats and stuck every place - even in the house! I am now taking the middle of the floor - DUH I need a bigger green house!!!!! I love doing it and I will do it again. Remember all the 1st year I was going to run all the supplies over as I killed tons of stuff? Memories with my great DG friends.

Oh, I remember your early GH days well, Sherrie! Those babies are looking really healthy. Don't worry, I'll be giving some of your babies a nice summer vacation in my garden! LOL

they look great Sherrie!

Wow---wish you lived closer! I'd be buying!

Looking great, Sherrie!

Sherrie."You;ve come along way baby!!" LOL
Everything looks great, im so glad you did not trash your GH & supplies like you threatened too! ^_^

Getting teary eyed. Thank you - every one of you. NOT a Sentimental person. Missed my que in life with plants. You mean a lot to me, I have learned so much. Whaaa - not Bill

Sherrie, your right where you should be, doing plants. Just look at those babies thrive...you have a green thumb girl and those plants are proof! Keep up the good work...just remember us little people when your rich and famous!!
