We don't really have a in ground garden but we planted a bunch of
tomato plants in big pots and put them on the deck.  They are all
growing well and we'll have tons of em!  I love fresh tomatoes  :)

We also have a Cherry tree and this year we got a bunch of cherries.  I need to learn how to purne it though.

My grandfather owned an apple orchard in Missouri and we spent summers there waiting for the apples to ripen.  They were great right off of the tree.  He also had an apple press for making cider.  I can still smell the workroom where the laborers sifted through the apples to ship out or keep for making cider.

Субъект: Black Walnuts
I have a black walnut tree in my yard that is mature enough to have the nuts. Several people have said oh just leave them for the squirrles they are messy to work with and get brown stain everywhere when you try and crack them. My Question is "Doese anyone here have personal experience with them? And is it just as they say not worth the effort?

8. Августа 2006, 04:55:58

Субъект: Re: Black Walnuts
amandalove:Juglens nigra is mainly grown for timber, but nuts are edible, most people grow the european walnut for the nuts. They are worth the effort, as a mature tree will produce quite a few kilograms of nuts. Once the fiberous skin rots off they need to be air dried for a few weeks. Then cracked ready to eat & there shouldn't be any staining if they are dried properly

Субъект: Re: Black Walnuts
amandalove: I agree with what skipinnz said about drying them. My Dad would spread them on a screen for air circulation until the outer skin dried. Then they can be handled and cracked.
They really are quite good!

discovered this veggie this weekend,thanks to some japanese friends:

Chinese spinach = hiyu = hon-toi-moi = yin choy = een choy = amaranth = hsien tsai

Notes: This is similar to spinach, only it's prettier, tastier, and more nutritious.tastes maybe a litle like asparagus.Look for it in Asian markets.

Looks like Fall is on it's way were dropping down into the 40's now.We got our garlic drying and most of the garden picked except some tomatoes.I did get lots of beet greens and little beets .Guess we need to work that area better since the soil is clay.
