That sounds wonderfull. Maybe we'll have that tomorrow night. Tonight it is leftover potato salad, made with pickles, eggs, onions and garlic from the garden.

I used juice cans to bake my bread. They come out a perfect size for hamburger and sandwhiches. They get nicely seasoned as you use them over and over. And you can still get juice in real cans!!

I made spaghetti sauce. Started it last night using tomatoes, zucchini, onions, garlic and peppers from the garden. Finished it off this afternoon with basil, marjoram and thyme. Served with home made bread.

I made blackberry sauce, peach sauce and 7 quarts of pickles. Today we're having sausages with onions and peppers on home made buns, a salad and melons for desert. All fruits and vegies are from the garden.

WE're having BLT's tonight, using lettuce tomaoes and onions from the garden. I made blackberry sauce the other day, yummy over ice cream or with yogurt.

Magnesium is important for our nutrition, and we get it from vegetables we eat, so it is definitely a good idea to make sure it is in the ground we grow our vegies in. We normally put it on our roses, but have started to put it in the vegetable garden as well.

I love kale. We can only grow it in the cooler months though. Would you post your recipe for portugese kale soup please.

Thanks for posting this thread. Now I have to go out and look for patchouli plants. I love the smell of it also. brings back memories. I am a former hippie, oh heck I am still a hippie, or rather flower child. :happy_flower

MMMh, can hardly wait for salsa time. Our tomatoes are no where near ready. :(

Lettuce is a short season crop. If you have a month or so of growing time left you can risk loose leaf lettuce. Onions: depends on where you live. In Northern California we plant ours in November and harvest in July. When I lived in New York, we planted onions in early spring or planted them in...

This whole question is why I like japanese eggplant. You can pick 'em any size and you don't have to wait for monsters. You can pick the regular large ones over-ripe and they don't taste right. if you pick them-under ripe they don't taste right either. I learned by trial and error. Lots of error :P

ooops :lol:

My beets are still puny. I love beets. Yours look so nice. I'm jealous.

I pickle banana peppers. I also freeze all my excess peppers. I don't even blanch them, though I found that blanching does help them keep better flavor and color. I just cut any peppers I have into slices and feeze them on a cookie sheet. Once they are frozen I try to vaccuum seal them...

GrowinVeggiesInSC, thanks for posting the pictures, now I can show SO, hopefully he'll make one or two or three for us. The leaf design is a lot cooler than just leaving it white. I agree the color choice could have been better, but you make do with what you have.

HiDelight, I love your dragonwheels. We had minestrone last night. Everything was from the garden, some of it frozen from last year. But it feels sooo great to have a meal totaly home grown, except the oil, cheese, salt and pepper. Tonight we're having steamed baby zucchini with burgers and...

I'm jealous. So far we only have cherry tomatoes. I'll be making a spaghetti sauce for tonight using home canned tomatoes from last year, fresh zucchini, onions, garlic and herbs from the garden. I'll be simmering it in the crock pot all day and serve it with leftover roast chicken, pasta and a...

My grandmother had a rain barrel in her garden. It was catching the rain from her garden shed. It had no cover. In those days in Germany, most of the folks had a rain barrel for their gardens. They didn' have covers and you had to dip the water out with a bucket. Some put goldfish in to keep the...

If you let them flower, you should get seeds to plant next year. Onion seeds don't germinate well after one year though. You might also see if any of them have bulbed out, sometimes they don't. If you have good sized bulbs, you might want to remove the flower stalk so the energy goes into making...

My grandmother would send us out to "steal" some potatoes from the potato patch. She would boil them whole (unpeeled) and put them on the table with salt, pepper and vinegar as a snack. Can we say yummy?!
