My Garden...Do you have one? (Pics included)

[Sonia59]

We have tomatoes and herbs (rosmary, thyme, basil, sage, lavender).

Nice pictures Richard!
Question...I see that you have chillies, what do you do with them? I actually just bought one at the grocery yesterday and am not sure what to do with it
I'm thinking of trying to have salad and a few peppers in a planter for this winter...think it will work?

Willie, our corn never did good. Always seemed to blow down when we'd get storms.
You must have planted earlier than us because we haven't gotten a bean or a red tomato yet!

Sonia59 what do you use all your herbs for. I've never used them much.

I am going to buy a camper and going to visit everyone with canned veggies!

Anna,

It depends on what you want to eat!

The chillies I pick I put into a dish, let them dry, put them into a coffee grinder. I recycle an old spice container -the kind with the lid that lets you sprinkle the contents in it- and keep it on the table.


I use them on pizza, I like a spicy ramen soup, a few shakes in the broth is good!

Your jalapenos are BEAUTIFUL, Have you seen the recipes for stuffed jalapenos?

You slit the pepper and clean the seeds and ribs out, stuff with cream cheese, then dip into a cornmeal batter and deep fry!

A cold beer and some NASCAR?

I think that if you keep a planter indoors you should be able to keep them thru the winter!

I cannot say for sure, your weather is way different that the So Cal climate.


I have to say that I really found your breaded zucchini pics to be very disturbing.

I could not make a dish look that good in a million years!

This thread is making me very hungry. Everything looks so yummy.
I've never had a garden. No green thumb here. I did plant some new flowers
this summer & they are still living.

Richard, the stuffed jalapenos sound great. Yum.

[Rachel]

WOW! I'm impressed. That is an amazing garden and what beautiful bounty you have produced.

That's a great garden Anna! I haven't had fried green tomatoes in years. Yum!!

Looked out the winder and whadda I see???

That darn lil Grey MUTT standin beside the sekurity fence --- **GULPIN** down

He was on the porch in an instant - frantically trying to clean his teeth of 'Mater seeds.

Then I spot the Other One --- across the driveway **chewin** as fast as she can.
