Jim Long's Garden: Long Creek Herb Farm Garden on a Rainy Day
http://jimlongsgarden.blogspot.com/2014/07/long-creek-herb-farm-garden-on-rainy-day.html
Long Creek Herb Farm Garden on a Rainy Day. The Herb Shop where I sell my books and products when we have tours. Gazebo and one of the several gates to the garden. A lightly rainy day in the garden today gives the plants a happy, unusual color. Glad for the rain. Some of the culinary beds. A momma bluebird watches me take photos. Two of the 12 varieties of basil we have this year. These lilies are wildly fragrant in the late afternoon. Cool place to sit under the gazebo. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

St John's Wort in the Landscape. We're fortunate to have several St. John's Worts in our area and they are at their finest in mid to late July. This one is known as shrubby St. John's Wort. Shrubby St. John's Wort (Hypericum prolificum). Shrubby St. John's Wort flowers. The late Billy Joe Tatum described the fragrance of these as akin to a pleasant burnt sugar or butterscotch smell. The spent flowers turn a pleasant shade of butterscotch-orange. Common St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum). Growing in o...

November 07, 2013. How Many Pounds of Carrots Can You Harvest Per Square Foot? Friends, I am about to share with you some shocking carrot statistics. The other day, I harvested a 2-foot-by-2-foot patch of carrots from my garden. I stashed my harvest in the fridge until I could deal with it, and tonight I washed, sliced and blanched the carrots, to get them ready for the freezer. From that 4 square feet of growing space, I ended up with three bags of carrots, totaling 8 pounds. EIGHT pounds! If you happen...

September, Hot Sauce Time! Hot sauce can be made from any peppers you grow. This has been an outstanding year for peppers and tomatoes in our area. We've been canning spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce and tomato juice, and now it's time to turn attention to making hot sauce. For winter and gifts. One of the reasons I write books is so I can keep track of my recipes and my hot sauce book is a good example. When I wrote it, I tried and tested my recipes. 40 pages of my own favorite recipes. 3 Refrigerate for u...

Elephant Rocks and Pickle Springs. American columbo - Frasera caroliniensis. Perfect time to walk in the woods, so many wildflowers, mushrooms and trees in bloom. Stream from Pickle Springs. Elephant rocks, atop the mountain, amazing. One of many "kissing rocks" at Pickle Springs. Rattlesnake orchid, a plant which doesn't grow where I live. Fat man's trap", I was glad I could pass through easily. Ferns at the base of the rocks, I just love seeing these in spring! What amazing things nature creates! My Ot...

http://smalltownzero-benji.blogspot.com/2010/11/mayonnaise-cake.html
Gardening, kids, cooking, and whatever else makes my skirt fly up. Friday, November 12, 2010. For starters, let me say that I'm all about substituting and making changes to recipes and personally, I do it often. When we eat something that makes the hubs and I go "Meh." he says, "You used a recipe, huh? I always answer with a depressing, "Yep.". Here, baby, let me clean that up. No. no. it's ok. Whoops. Looks like it's in your shoelaces. Take 'em on out and I'll soak 'em in the sink. 3 c unsifted flour.
