With temperatures teetering near 90 at the hottest point of the day, this refreshing drink will keep you cool. And, once you give it a try, you’ll never want to buy the fluorescent green stuff again. I’m not sure why this simple drink isn’t more popular stateside. It’s quite popular in [...]
Green Lynx Spider (female?) It’s hard to take pictures when your hands are shaking. This might not look very impressive. But, consider this, that leggy green spider is eating a very large carpenter bee. On my scale, that makes this scary/beautiful spider huge. And, it’s safe to say, I won’t [...]
Three Black Krim Plants = Three Tomatoes One was claimed by the squirrels, the second (above) we picked early to save it from said squirrels, and the third is still on the vine. Will the last one survive? It’s a mystery.
After ripening for three days in [...]
The radishes are finally big enough to eat! We’ve seen cream, pink, red & white, deep red, and red with darker red stripes. But, they all taste the same… spicy. Not just a little bit spicy, oh no, they’re fire breathing, eye watering, mouth full of wasabi HOT. A result of [...]
Mr Stripey doesn’t like the heat. Last year we had over 20 huge tomatoes. This year? We’ve seen about 10 tomatoes on the same number of plants. And, several of those 10 weren’t pretty. So, it would be a crime not to showcase the handful of gorgeous tomatoes we were [...]
My beets are still growing. But, I did add two baby (golf ball sized) beets from my garden to the batch of large yellow beets I bought at the farmer’s market. Twice-cooked… well… three times if you count a quick saute with the shallots. The first time, I wrapped the beets [...]

Peppers, Oregano & Stripey Tomatoes Yes, there will be a salad tonight.
Enough Oregano Seeds to turn our backyard into a salad
Brandywine Tomato In other news, my newly planted teeny tiny two foot tall black mission fig tree had it’s first fig! The other two black mission fig trees are growing nicely… but, no figs. The newly planted 4-5 foot kadota fig tree has lost a few leaves, but, the fruit is still [...]
Everything sounds better in French… (And Italian) Slap a French name on fig preserve and the charm factor goes sky high. And, that sweet little market on the corner won’t hesitate to add $10 to the price tag. But, it’s still just fruit and sugar.
This [...]
The first ripe figs are almost bursting after this weekend’s heavy rain. Our brown turkey fig tree is littered with green figs that will ripen any day. Today, we had about two overflowing handfuls of ripe figs.
Liquid sugar hinting of honey… yum
And, we [...] |
