I should but I probably won't. What are you thinking about growing RPF? Are those seeds Hugo approved?
preparing for the great depression?
i have some herbs that i grow for cooking. pretty easy. I love rosemary. Often times i will throw it on the grill for lamb.
yeah i love using fresh herbs for cooking. being able to snip chives, or oregano etc is awesome and a great way to save money. it is stupidly expensive in the stores.
hmm never had. I might gorw some basil and parsely. the only thing i have now is the rosemary. such a hearty plant. i used to have mint. Loved the smell of it, but the stuff would take over everything around it. aggressive little bastard.
I usually grow all kinds of tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers (although it's hard to get them to stay healthy enough to turn red), eggplant. The planting part is easy, but by the time things are growing, it's a pain getting out there to weed (mosquitos ) and water, so whatever comes up is pretty much on it's own. The cherry tomatoes usually end up producing like crazy. Asparagus should be coming up soon.
Cool, doesn't Asparagus take a few years? I don't have any.
Yes, it takes several years for a "bed" to get established. People always say that once they "take root", they spread like wildfire. I have not found this to be the case Usually only get 3 or 4 meals worth
wow that sucks. Are they skinny or the nice fat ones? Skinny ones piss me off. Never thought of planting aspragus, even though it's one of my favorite veggies.
They come up pretty much like this.If they're any skinnier, I let them "go to seed" which I guess is supposed to make them grow back thicker the next year.We get a lot from out neighbor, even the fat purple ones which are really good - very tender. A lot of people don't know that white asparagus is grown in the dark. Personally, I find it rather tasteless and I would imagine not all that nutritious Always CUT asparagus with a sharp knife at ground level. When preparing, "snap" the ends off. Wherever they naturally "snap" is where the woody, tough part meets the tender part.
