    My veggie garden

    Ok, tomorrow for lunch I am making homemade corndogs! That won't make Bruce happy, but he can figure out something to make for himself.

    Super Bowl Sunday

    Hubby made his famous tailgate chili, it is yummy! I am making chicken fried rice because one of our friends who is coming doesn't eat ground meat or pork or beef, so the chili won't go over with her. I am also making a salad and some lemon bars.

    Giant Strawberries (questions)

    I can't even bring myself to think of them as cute anymore after last year. And there is nothing to do to keep them away other than destroy them. I tried human and cat hair, moth balls, motel sized bars of soap, netting, cayenne pepper, CGs hot pepper spray, everything except poisen, but...

    Giant Strawberries (questions)

    All of my berries were netted and had PVC on top of the netting around them...the chippers dug under the mulch and even ate the green ones. Needless to say I don't like chipmunks at all...and that is putting it mildly.

    Giant Strawberries (questions)

    And don't forget about the chipmunks!!! And the birds will do their dangest to get under the netting too. All this from last years experience with my poor blueberries. I may just sit out in a lawn chair and pick them all off with a pellet gun this year...they ate hundreds of dollars worth of...

    How do they know when to bloom?

    I put ours in the dining room which gets natural day conditions with no outside light. It is blooming up a storm right now.

    How do they know when to bloom?

    They want "short" days, it triggers their blooming genes.

    Greens and Brassicas

    I am very hopeful that I will have a much more productive garden in 2012. I would love to grow lots of this stuff again. This year was a bit off for me.

    Recipe Canning and freezing recipes

    Ok guys, there it is! I used basil in mine, no lemon juice and added a pack of pectin because I didn't want to wait forever for it to cook down. It isn't firm, but still yummy.

    hummers more than ever

    They are the best amusement ever. And the silly little things divebomb each other...and flit around chirping asking to be abused, ha. Sooo fun! When they arrive in the spring they come in the garage telling me it is time to put the feeders up.

    hummers more than ever

    Ours are still here and are the silliest little things, they make me laugh. I was sitting on the deck and one had a little drink and then did a little dance for me. Bruce was looking out the sliding glass door watching the whole thing. I will really miss them when they are gone.

    hibiscus and mallow id needed!

    Just remember that they are very, very slow to come up. I almost gave up on mine this year...and seeing as you are much further north than me, don't give up until at least June.
