* Meant don't have. It's this darn program making me drool!

I am going to make me burgers with cheese, bacon, onions and some my own marinated hot and sweet peppers. All mixed in for flavor.
Gerardo, what spices you grow for every day eating? Cilantro, dill, parsley, celery? Anything unusual? |
That sure sounds excellent, I'm going for fish on the grill today.
In the last few months my herbs have been supplanted by greens for my boys' guinea pigs. Last year I concocted a mix for "microgreens" that contained a lot of things, so now I just drop a pinch of those seeds and interesting things come up--most go to the "cuyos." Some do get diverted and go to the kitchen. Fenugreek is one that often gets intercepted (if only to hold it up to my nose and instantly gaze across the Mediterranean), as do the Calmar and Vulcan lettuces (those taste very good to me). With cilantro bolting is a real issue at our normal temps so I gave up on it. Each "mazo" aka bunch is only a few cents, so it doesn't make much sense to take up vital space. Basils, on the other hand, I always have around: purple, small ones like Pluto, large leaf, sweet, genovese. I use it a lot. My favorite Basil for flavor, vigor and disease resistance is one called [B]Superbo.[/B] High recommend on that one. Sowing Mint (because everyone requests it) and Marjoram/Thyme (mostly for fish) for myself this weekend. And yes, some dill because I'm craving real potato salad. I've been itching to grow some leeks for the real deal potato/leek soup. Funny, it seems my vagus nerve works just fine, I'm hungry now! |
Dill and potato salad-yes, yes, YES!

Thank you, Gerardo. Was looking up Fenugreek. It has many medicinal qualities.
Mammoth dill is the one I grow. We use it for salads and to garnish soup. |

I've read about, but have not yet tried, using enzyme products to treat recycled mix. The enzymes eat the old root matter and convert it to available nutrients for the plant. That keeps the bad guy bacteria from eating it instead and multiplying.
Pond-Zyme is one such product. It was meant to treat goldfish ponds, so a $10 container is about a lifetime supply for a gardener. I think it has barley in it, too, which is a deterrent to algae. |
Gerardo, you are growing Elgin Pink again!?
I agree, it is a great tomato. It will be my 3rd year with EP. But my were in the ground. How does it do for you in container/pouch bag? My plants were large and productive. I noticed with some tomatoes the taste quality dependent on the production: the more fruits it produces the less tasty the fruits are. But it is NOT the same with EP. It taste great all season long and produces lots of fruits. I tasted it for comparison against Brandyvines (Sudduth and Cowlick) and the EP was as great. Plus it was by much earlier than Brandyvines and outperformed them too. |

Elgin Pink was a great for me in a 15gal pot, equal to Brandy Boy in production +25lbs, and better taste.

Pondzyme is in my future. Thanks
Elgin Pink is an outstanding 'mater permanent slot earned. Those are very nice Colorado orbs. Mine were similar in output. They keep well too |
Great thread, glad you survived the storms. I think I will have to try Elgin Pink.
|
I Love Elgin Pink. Do you have seeds Mark?
