WEEKLY GARDEN THREAD FOR 7/20/2018
freerepublic | 7/21/2018 | greeneyes

Posted on 07/21/2018 2:00:13 PM PDT by greeneyes

The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds.

From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you.

This thread is non-political, although you will find that most here are conservative folks. No matter what, you won’t be flamed and the only dumb question is the one that isn’t asked.

It is impossible to hijack the Weekly Gardening Thread. Planting, Harvest to Table(recipes)preserving, good living - there is no telling where it will go and... that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us!

NOTE: This is a once a week ping list. We do post to the thread during the week. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest are welcomed any time-and don't have to be about gardening.

Wait a sec....you like chocolate? Here's a recipe you can serve warm with a scoop of ice cream for dessert or serve
cold for breakfast with heavy cream poured over, IF there's any leftovers. And, yes, you can add chocolate chips.

Red Velvet Cherry Dump Cake

METHOD Dump 2-21 oz cans cherry pie filling into sprayed 9x13" pan.
Spread even w/ spatula. Sprinkle box Betty Crocker Red Velvet Cake Mix
over evenly. Pour cup melted sweet butter over evenly. Sprinkle w/ 1 1/2 c
sweetened coconut flakes. Bake 350 deg 50-60 min.

SERVE with ice cream or whipped cream.

Thank you! I love chocolate!

As for blueberries, last summer hubby and I went to Maine and stayed around Bar Harbor for 2 weeks. I ate everything blueberry I could find, and drank blueberry beer.

And lobster, awe, the lobster, clam chowder....it was all delicious.

For those who are interested, you can order wild blueberries directly online from Bar Harbor Jam Company. Delicious! A pantry staple for me now.

With zucchini I grate it and freeze it and use it for zucchini bread in the winter.

FWIW, grating is not shredding.

I've seen people mix up the terms. Shredding gives you the small slivers.

Grating is using the nasty side of the food grater and making a pile that looks like applesauce, but uncooked.

It's this side, the one that looks like it has nail holes punched in it.

What do you do to the three cloves of garlic?

The recipe starts with “ING cloves of garlic”

It looks like part of it is missing.

It is assumed those who peruse the recipes have some cooking experience....and know what to do.

OK.
