Redbud and Serviceberry grow wild here and both bloom before the dogwoods. I have serviceberry(white flowers) but no redbuds(magenta flowers). I need some redbuds but they’re understory trees which are a hard thing to dig up. Read this morning that you can propagate from green wood cuttings using root hormone. Seeds too of course but good luck beating the birds to them. State Nursery sells them. Just need to set an alarm for Sept 2nd because all the good stuff sells out in a day or two. They allow out of state buyers.
Eating from the Land, your Hand, your Garden.
Supper tonight is Diana’s Maple Burgers:
1 pound ground beef (Home grown - Thanks, Chuck!)
Scant 1/4 cup Maple Syrup (Home made - Thanks, Beau!)
2 Tsp. crushed Garlic
2 Tsp. Dried Chives (from the garden last year)
S & P to taste
Combine it all, make four patties. Don’t forget the DIVOT in the center so you don’t get hockey pucks when cooked!
Grill outside or bake in your cast iron skillet.
How do you like your Burger? I like Swiss Cheese on top, Yellow Mustard and lots of ground black pepper. (We skip the buns for less carbs.) Also having Cole Slaw and Oven-Baked Potato Wedges.
Life Is Good! :)
