Hi All,
Just some small black thumb gardening talk:
I have been watering my rosemary plant more and it has seems to give me better cooking sprigs. I use some to cook pork chops. I have yet to try chicken.
Is watering all there was to it?
I cut off the seed balls from my green onions (scallions) as a Songbird directed me. That left two foot long open at the top 1/2" tubes. The plants just stayed that way for two weeks. Then a couple of thunderstorms filled the tubes with water and nasty looking things took up residence in the tubes. So I cut the tubes off down by the base where they were solid.
Then something wonderful happened. This week I go out and the plants had all sprung up two foot leaves. A lot of them. And the winds had blown a few over. Since they were not doing the plant any good that way, I harvested them. Had some for breakfast.
This is marvelous. I thought the plant would just slowly die, having flowered. And being that I have trouble getting regular onions to bulb (too short a growing season) and these things grow all winter long, they may be the perfect substitute for regular onions until I get regular onions figured out.
Life is good. Thriving, not just surviving.
