    How to season this veggie sautee

    I have zucchini, patty pan squash, baby choy sum (very baby, from thinning a row), a handful of snow peas and some beet greens from my garden. How should I season this sautee? Garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil? Garlic, smoked paprika, and lemon juice? Garlic and basil? Something...

    Be patient or pull watermelon plants?

    I live in zone 6a. My heat-loving plants usually stop producing much by mid-September. The week of Memorial day I transplanted my indoor starts (all about the size of your standard nursery quart-size veggie starts) into the ground. It has been about a month and I'm concerned about my...

    What's missing from these tacos?

    I have premarinated skirt steak (Mexican flavors like cumin, coriander, onion, etc) and julienned jicama that I need to use up tomorrow.

    Trimming tomato plants?

    I have a lovely tomato plant that is taking over my little garden. I bought a new variety because my seedlings were a little smaller than I'd hoped and I wanted some earlier toms while I waited for mine to grow. That is all one tomato plant in the middle. My others are in their own cages...

    Returning: the daughter formerly known as Sprout

    I was a member many years ago and once frequented the forums. Then babies, school and other things became my focus for a while. When I decided to return this year, I discovered that I did not remember my old password and my attempts at resetting were unsuccessful, so here I am, same me (if a bit...
