Re: [MBZ] GMO Wuz: OT: Blendtec recipes, anyone?
I have only one black cherry dermader plant. Bought it at the reiman gardens plant sale. If I don't eat em all, I will try to start some next year. Romas from seed are doing ok. None ripe yet but the Black CHerry. Dermaders have been liking the rain. Most are over 6 feet tall. Green beans likewise. I have a 2 layer Berlin Wall of green beans over 6 feet tall. they are all vining all over each other and up into the trees where they can reach. I won't be pickin em up thar! Black Cherry are the first dermaders of the year. I have a volunteer in the raised bad for root crops that looks like it will be some form of cherry dermader. (Pronunciation guide at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtzoUu7w-YM) Shoot the wabbit and eat Hasenfeffer. It is a delicacy like escargot. You need wolf or coyote pee. spray that around and critters stay away. Hard to find in DC. Mostly snakes there, of the 2 legged variety: lawyerus humanus You grow your own black cherry tomatoes from seed? Incidentally, my litter-composting days are over since I moved. I now have a cute white-tailed yard bunny that was decapitating my pepper plants, so I sprayed bitter apple on the tender leaves (same stuff I use on houseplants to deter the cat from chewing the leaves). I also tried the same spray on the fragrant yellow roses, which are irresistible to Japanese beetles. Seems to worth in both applications. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
