OT gator groundcover
I could use them to keep the neighbors out of my berries and my
tomatos. On the other hand a couple of months ago I came home and found a handful of my flowers in an old coffee pot, next to a strawberry smeared flat rock out in the back yard. Are the gators good at reminding the wee ones that they should ask before holding a tea party on the premises?

It's the best thing we ever planted in a shady side of the house that was a perennial mudhole every time it rained.

It is a sad truth; gators can not be trusted. I asked about neighbors and
little tea parties. The gators only smiled. Polly "NightMist" wrote in message ... I could use them to keep the neighbors out of my berries and my tomatos.

OT Unique Sauerkraut Recipe OT Sweet Tea
What I do is rinse the canned stuff and mix it in with a head of shredded
cabbage. Then pop in some chopped bacon and some pork belly rashers (rind off) and cook slowly until the pork is cooked. Oh Lordy I haven't had that in ages. Hmmm..... -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z37/shazrules/ "Roberta Zollner" wrote in message ... So how do you usually cook sauerkraut? (This recipe looks pretty normal to me, but of course I live in a sauerkraut hotbed.) I do mine this way, if there's leftover wine. Or I fry some chopped onion in goose fat and add that, with veggie or chicken broth for the liquid, plus the apples. Or toss in some juniper berries. Or some coriander seeds. Or simmer with wine and a piece of cured pork loin. The main thing is not to undercook. Sauerkraut needs long slow cooking, even the canned variety.

OT Unique Sauerkraut Recipe OT Sweet Tea
Well, NOW I use Rita's recipe. But most people over
here just rinse and heat, adding just enough water to keep it moist, and maybe some caraway seeds. The wine and apples were new to me. Of course I am 'cooking challenged,' so just about ANYTHING beyond Lemon Pepper is exotic to me! LOL PAT Roberta Zollner wrote: So how do you usually cook sauerkraut?

OT groundcover for shade was OT Sweet Tea
Not sure if this would grow up there, but in my
Virginia Tidewater yard (Zone 7) I have lots of Lamia (Lamnia/Lanmia?) growing well in shade. It is sorta invasive though, so plan carefully. PAT NightMist wrote: I have a love-hate relationship with periwinkle. If it wasn't trying to take over the world I would love it. The problem with either bluebell is they die back after blooming. The problem with lily of the valley (which I just adore) is it is just as invasive as periwinkle only slower about it. On the plus side though it does not thrive so well in full sunlight, so would likely stay where I want it. Reletively. |

OT Unique Sauerkraut Recipe OT Sweet Tea
Mushrooms? Now that's unusual!
Roberta in D "Bonnie NJ" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ink.net... When I cook sauerkraut, I rinse and drain then add to a large pan. I add couple of dashes of caraway seed, some frozen apple juice concentrate, a few red skin potatoes and then put a pork tenderloin on top. Cook about an hour at low heat and just before serving add a can of mushrooms. -- Bonnie NJ "Roberta Zollner" wrote in message ... So how do you usually cook sauerkraut?

I have a bunch of different hostas in my shady spot. They might flower more profusely with a little more sun, but it's the leaves that really look pretty all summer long. Mixed in a bit of alchemilla at the front of the bed, I love those leaves too, and it flowers very well. Roberta in D, cold winters, summers moderate to warm Love Hostas, but so do the slugs and snails. Most of mine have shredded leaves, though there are one or two varieties they don't like so much, but don't know any of the names. With cotoneaster horizontalis you have the flowers followed by the berries, so lots of interest over a long season. -- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~uk http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin |
