Your garden is beautiful, even as you clean it up. I am ashamed of myself for letting mine go so far afield. DGD11 and I are starting to work on it, however.
What a lovely garden!! I just popped over from Maybelline's blog. I will come back and read more but I have a quick question about your May post about drying poppies. Are you drying the seed heads for seeds to replant or for poppy seeds to bake with? My neighbor had a huge spot of poppies growing this last spring and I have some of the seeds. I wanted to bake with them (and plant some for myself for this coming spring) but I had a hard time finding any info on the internet about that. Can you just dry the seeds and bake with them or is there another step? Thanks. Sincerely, Emily
Hey Emily, sorry I didn't respond sooner. I guess I wasn't very clear on that post, it's the garlic that gets dried not the poppy seeds...tho now you have me curious :) Sorry I can't be more help to you.
Steve and I have started a new undertaking towards sustainable living....'renting' land in exchange for veggies. Our home garden is simply not big enuf to support our family of 6 very hungry people and with several trees in the yard to help us get thru the 'hell' we call summer in the Central Valley of California we can only cultivate so much of our city lot ...is a town of 10,000 officially a city?
Follow us on our adventures in gardening in our lovely neighbor Joyce's yard. Our desire is to become strangers to the checkout gals at the grocery store.
