Gardening In Slippers: Stinging Nettle Treatment
http://gardeninginslippers.blogspot.com/2013/08/stinging-nettle-treatment.html
Saturday, August 17, 2013. Seems I get stung at least once every year now. Can you spot the stinging nettle in my lettuce patch? It's right in the center of this photo. Nailed me good. Every finger on the left hand. And boy does it sting. Vacuum cleaner crevice tool. A winning combination. (Note: You can also use tape to help remove any lurking nettles.).

Gardening In Slippers: Japanese Eggplant
http://gardeninginslippers.blogspot.com/2013/08/japanese-eggplant.html
Monday, August 26, 2013. The eggplant harvest continues to provide. Today I try my hand at making Indian Eggplant Bharta. There's a great little Indian cooking channel on the Roku box (if you use that technology.) Puts you right inside the kitchen of Indian cooks. It's all on the web too. As per usual, I will take the nuts and bolts of their cooking method then tweak the recipe to use what I have on hand or to what my taste preference dictates (fewer chilli peppers for instance, due to sensitive tummy).

Gardening In Slippers: Cherry Plums
http://gardeninginslippers.blogspot.com/2013/07/cherry-plums.html
Friday, July 26, 2013. I've been trimming a rather rangy bush located right off my deck. Its long thorns have been tearing at my market umbrella. While hacking it down, I suddenly noticed tiny yellow cherry-sized fruits dangling from the branches. After looking the unfamiliar bush up online I discovered it was a cherry plum. This explains why the birds keep visiting the tree. I plucked a few cherries and yum! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Endorsed by: Candice Olson, HGTV and Joanne Weir, PBS. Root ...

Gardening In Slippers: The Days of Reckoning
http://gardeninginslippers.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-days-of-reckoning.html
Saturday, August 24, 2013. The Days of Reckoning. It's so much fun to sow the seeds. Exciting to watch them sprout and grow. You leap with joy as the first fruits are harvested. but there's always the inevitable day of reckoning when you have to start canning. I have more tomatoes than I need and my neighbors and friends have had their fill. Time to put up. It's a long, steamy exasperating day. But there are moments. Like when the aroma from the sauteed onion and garlic fills the room. Black Russian Heir...

Gardening In Slippers: Mint Chutney
http://gardeninginslippers.blogspot.com/2013/08/mint-chutney.html
Saturday, August 3, 2013. My project for the fall is to learn how to cook my favorite Indian dishes. You used to be able to get great Indian food at fairly reasonable prices. Not anymore. So it's high time I added new dishes to my repertoire. My eggplants are plumping up fast, and that was much of the inspiration for this decision. I'm looking forward to some bharta. Yesterday I harvested some mint, cilantro, garlic and shallots and whipped up some mint chutney to dip pappadam in. 6 fresh garlic cloves.

Gardening In Slippers: Tomatillo Harvest
http://gardeninginslippers.blogspot.com/2013/09/tomatillo-harvest.html
Friday, September 6, 2013. All good things come to those who wait, the saying goes. Boy oh boy, was it hard to wait on these goodies. I find tomatillos hard to resist and pluck them off the vine for little veggie snacks throughout the season. This year I've held back and allowed them grow to full size. And what a marvellous crop I am getting. There will be fresh salsa verde and chips for movie night tonight. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Endorsed by: Candice Olson, HGTV and Joanne Weir, PBS.

Gardening In Slippers: Black Russian Heirloom Tomato
http://gardeninginslippers.blogspot.com/2013/08/black-russian-heirloom-tomato.html
Tuesday, August 13, 2013. Black Russian Heirloom Tomato. I've had some big tomatoes before, but none like the Black Russian. These delicious heirlooms darken and offer a unique, slightly lemony flavor. Here they are in their three stages of ripening. Great slicing tomatoes and a wonderful addition to a salad because of their interesting color, which carries through to the interior of the fruit. Labels: Black Russian Heirloom Tomato.
