G-Mom

Sorry to hear your not feeling well that's terrible. Get to feeling better real soon. Sending you good thoughts and better wishes.

Tammy quit saying your photoes are awful. I love the pic of the orange and yellow canna. It is gorgeous. By the by, I just harvested some pick snap dragon seeds for you today! I am getting ready to leave on my camping trip on Friday so I will send them off to you somewhere around Aug 15, ok?

coolio pink snapdragons to go with the yellow and red. Can't wait. I want to get some of the white and cream but haven't heard of anyone having them yet. Maybe this fall huh?

Have a great trip be safe. Take your time sending them I won't try to plant them tell late winter anyway.

That's if I can get potting soil lol.

Wanted to share a few of my pics.

These are 4 O'Clocks that I just planted a couple of weeks ago. I am very happy with their progress so far.


And also Lemon Basil I just planted


My first Bell peppers


And finally Tomatillos that are just sprouting up ALL over my yard. A very nice surprise.

I have a half inch egg on my wonder egg tree!!!
I'm so excited i could just split!!!

Way cool!

I will get a picture of it tomorrow and post it so you can see one

I'd love to see it!

No problem, I might need a reminder though

Well that probably wont come from me then. I lose my brain about 9am when all the kids are moving

Wow, Triss,

Looks like your garden is really getting out there and putting on a show. I'm curious about your Tomatillos. I don't think I know what they are.

Phoenix, I think because you were busy for soooooo long you need to take a picture of everything so we are all caught up on your gardens. Anyway I need a tour of the new property inside and out. I am sooooooo nosey lol. I just know the new place is great so I want a photo exposa(sp).

TK, I have some in my photobucket album. Just click on it and you can view the photos.
I have to go to bed now, but I'll see you tomorrow
Good night my dear. Sweet dreams

Ya know TK, I have to do some research on them myself. About all I know is that they are a green tomatoe. I will let you know when I know more. They make great salsa!

About the closest I get to salsa is the taco bell mild hot sauce lol. And I love that stuff and am so glad that the grocery store carries it now. But thanks for the info. I didn't know there was a tomato that was suppose to stay green.

Well four of the canna all bloomed today and they are the yellow with some orange dots near the center. I'd take a picture but it's 80 going on 200 degrees out there. Real wet noodle weather for me.

Tammy,

If we get enough tomatoes and peppers to can a bunch of salsa, I will have to send you some.

A Tomatillo is a Mexican Tomato that is green comes in various sizes has a brown husk you have to peel off then wash it so you can use it. It is more dense then the regular or European Tomato most people here use. I bought about 10 the other day for 99cents. I made salsa with them ,onion,garlic,Chile De Armole,Jalapeno,Habanero chili's as well as pablano and anaheim pepper, cilantro. Also cut up a small tomato I picked. My cilantro did not come up this year.
Jimmy

Cilantro is one thing I have never liked in salsa, Jimmy. I just cannot enjoy that flavor very much. But all the otehr stuff sounds really good. Thanks for the great explanation of a tomatillo.

Grrrrrrrh. I just typed a really long post for this string and it went to post heaven. I hate it when that happens.

JV ty for the explanation. Sorry to hear about your cilantro. Mine came up like gang busters inspite of being mistreated because I didn't know what I was doing with it.

Triss thank you for the offer of salsa but I get heart burn really really badly so I don't do any hot or spicy foods. I shouldn't even do the sweet onions and things like that but there are some things that I just can not resist. Do you have that problem? I sure do.

Nope, I can pretty much eat anything. I will have to just think of you then when I make it. Wish you could enjoy it though.
