when are you sowing your garden this year?

Blossom End Rot on all my tomatoes!

SHIT!

Picked peaches from a backyard tree this morning. This was the first year in many that I didn't prune the tree and thin the fruit this spring so we had lots of small fruit. It might have worked for the better since in most years the birds take or damage most of the fruit before it's ripe to pick. I should net the trees but never get around to it. This year the birds only got the top layer and we harvested enough for a year. Like with the apricots we freeze and bag it for many uses like on salads, roasted on skewers with veggies and meat over the grill, peach cobbler, peach & yogurt smoothies, peach cordial, peach wine, etc. You can eat better by growing your own.

Nice looking peaches!

Can anyone identify this plant for me? I believe it was something grown on purpose years ago and grows again year after year. I broke open a stalk and it smelled a bit like horseradish.



Didn't realize the picture was out of focus and the plant is 100 miles away so we'll have to make due with this. Here is the base when broken off close to the ground.

Looks like horseradish, smells like horseradish...

Dig up some of the root and toss it in a food processor.

Nice work. My garden was all starts I bought very late in the season and everything is pretty small comparatively.

[Irving]

Which herb is this? You'd think since it is in our garden that we'd know, but we don't. Doesn't quite look like pictures of thyme, and doesn't quite look like pictures of rosemary. Is it Dill maybe?

[TheGrey]

I think it may be dill. Dill has that fronding thing that goes on with its leaves. Rosemary looks like a little fir tree and has a very distinctive aroma. Take a little of the leaves between your fingers and mash it- does it smell like dill?

[Irving]

I've just been eating it, but it doesn't taste like much.

[TheGrey]

Fresh herbs don't pack the same punch that dried herbs do, which is why you have to use ore of them.

I googled the image for dill plant, and it doesn't really look like one. I don't know what you've been eating.
