The Red Headed Chef: December 2009
http://theredheadedchef.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The Red Headed Chef. Sunday, December 13, 2009. So I've been busy. thus the reason for no recent posts. A good friend of mine with a garden I long for, dropped off 15 lbs of green tomoatoes on the Friday before I was to have a dinner party. Of course, I had told her, "Any extra produce you grow, bring to me and I will can it." Did I understand the request? Obviously not. In addition to those lovely green tomatoes she also provided about 1 lb or so of bell peppers. So what was I to do? What's most interes...

http://theredheadedchef.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
The Red Headed Chef. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. And this weekend, the beginnings of the Summer/Fall garden! I've removed about 10 tomato bushes that are done with their crop and have 2-3 more to go. I've added 4 new tomato plants for fall production as well as butternut squash seeds. This is the first real Fall garden (usually I'm too late), so I'm pretty excited. Wish me luck! Sunday, June 26, 2011. Listen to what mom says. But one snippet of these many recipes stuck. Thursday, June 16, 2011. Like many s...

http://theredheadedchef.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
The Red Headed Chef. Thursday, September 22, 2011. Finally. Fall Gardening Season. Well, it's been a long, HOT summer. 70 days over 100F HOT. Like, we beat multiple records in the state of Texas HOT.And my garden has suffered some because of it. Though, there has been some bright spots. My basil has gone crazy and I'm handing it out left and right. As well the sage has done much better than I anticipated. The potted plants, because I could provide them some shade, also did well. Ohh, had to add these....

The Red Headed Chef. Monday, March 29, 2010. As the Garden Grows. So, after a long week away from work, I arrived home to a slightly warmer weekend in early March and the process of building began. In parallel I was also reading articles, ordering books and looking for seeds to start the actual gardening part. Here are pictures of us building the frame for the raised garden out of cinderblocks. Here is what the finished frame looks like. Hunter keeping an eye on all of the supplies for us. So, as the mon...

The Red Headed Chef: November 2009
http://theredheadedchef.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
The Red Headed Chef. Monday, November 30, 2009. It's interestng to me that no matter where I have Thanksgiving dinner, it ends up being the same food. You read in food magazines or online about unique ways to make stuffing (oyster stuffing, creole stuffing) or potatoes (horseradish cheddar mashed potatoes or whatever), but in the end everyone always ends up back at the basics. Roasted, Smoked or Fried Turkey, no extra seasonings or herbs please. Mashed Potatoes, just butter and milk. So this year for Tha...

The Red Headed Chef: February 2012
http://theredheadedchef.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
The Red Headed Chef. Saturday, February 4, 2012. And let the planting begin. It's February in the DFW area and we've seen more days above 65F then below it seems like. And, with that kind of weather all I want to do is start planting. The good news? Start planting, at least some seeds. On another point, we've put the house up for sale. We're finally making the jump toward actually acreage (anyone want to buy a house and help us out? So I'm trying to be conservative. So, what did we plant on Friday?

The Red Headed Chef. Wednesday, April 21, 2010. The Wonders of Miracle-Gro. I'm all for all natural, organic, whatever. I understand the potential impact on the ecomony, our lives, . that "poisions" can have, I agree that local is always better, and I think we should all look to continue to find ways to do "one thing better" for the planet. In the last few years, my H and I have converted all of our light bulbs to compact flourescent (that's over 50 bulbs mind you! This stuff is awesome! For some this ma...

The Red Headed Chef: 12 Months of Gardening
http://theredheadedchef.blogspot.com/2012/01/12-months-of-gardening.html
The Red Headed Chef. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. 12 Months of Gardening. So, they say in North Texas that you can garden 12 months of the year. Unlike in the North, where the growing season is short and everything is planted together, we have "two" growing seasons, one in the spring and one in the fall. Last year was my first attempt at broadening gardening across these two seasons with some successes. So, recently we went seed shopping.And the result:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I swear there is...
