That sounds like it would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!
You betcha. It was better than Cub Scout, imo, although those blue tunics were fetching.
Oooooh, good job. I’m salivating!
Don't forget they're bitter.
Never had any starlings get at the basil.
In the fall, I clean the leaves and Cuisinart the basil into a mash and then add Italian cheese for pesto sauce concentrate. Always have plenty to last through the winter.
I grow Basil too..I sometimes cut off the spraling branches, put those in water to let roots grow and then have more plants!
Better to cling to guns and the bible than to cling to a wide screen tv and a case of beer.ha.
Ooooh, good idea. I’ll try it this weekend.
Mint is soooo easy to grow too! Grows like weeds! I dry the mint leaves , then crumble them and add to tossed salad..awesome.
I also like chives on scrambled eggs or in egg salad. I cut the chives into tiny pieces with scissors ( same for the basil when fresh )..easier than cutting it.
We have a pair of Fiskars in the kitchen only for use on leafy vegetables. MUCH better than using a knife.
When I work in the garden, I slash a few sage leaves on the plant. Beautiful odor to work in.
Hey guys! Late to the ball game. Had the gbaby all day yest and today when I got off work. Hubby plowed out the taters this evening and we let the gbaby help us pick them up. we had a ball! Got about a 5 gal bucket and a half out of a 60’ row. Nothing to brag about.
Sounds like everyone is busy and having a productive season!
I have to set a trap tonight for a Raccoon that is eating our strawberries and Raspberries plus he is into my corn patch and it is only knee high with no ears forming yet. I hope the skunks have moved on...
Good luck and be careful! Hope this trap is better tahn the mole thingy!
You have skunks? Or stunks, as #2 son likes to call them. We haven’t had any skunks in @ 50 years, according to some of the old timers. I don’t know if rabies got them, or fireants, or pesticides put out to kill fireants.
Skunks are the favorite food of Mountain Lions.
JUST KIDDING GG!!!
We had a outbreak of Skunks a few years ago when K9 distemper killed off all the local Foxes.
The weather has been terrific and everything is looking good...
