    Blanching Greens

    Does anyone have experience blanching Greens? I picked a variety of Greens from my garden that I need to blanch and keep in the freezer. These are the Greens I picked today: Kale, Kohlrabi, India Southern Curled Mustard, Radish.

    Cold-Weather Flowers (including Edible Flowers) ...

    I just ate some Southern Curled Flowers, Red Giant Mustard Flowers and Radish Flowers today! I also have some Chinese Cabbage Flowers. I need to plant about 10 or 20 times more of those plants so I have enough Flowers to eat with a salad, spaghetti, goulash, noodles, soup ....

    Cold-Weather Flowers (including Edible Flowers) ...

    I have some Nasturtiums growing from seed (still very small). I've seen Nasturtiums growing around our area, but they don't survive the Winter cold here.

    Garlic - Pepper Spray .....

    I think the Garlic-Pepper spray I've been using is helping, or maybe the bugs are affected by the hot weather .... I do have one garden patch that is doing very nicely! I've been inspecting carefully everyday, and seems to be healthy, and unaffected by bugs and gophers. This patch has...

    Garlic - Pepper Spray .....

    I haven't seen whatever it is that eats the leaves .... I really need to do something very soon, or I won't have much of a garden left .... Fortunately, two sections of my garden haven't been hit quite as hard with whatever it is that eats the leaves, and kills the plants.

    Garlic - Pepper Spray .....

    Thanks for the tip! Wonder if Wal-Mart has Neem .... I'll definitely check out both Wal-Mart and Home Depot for Neem. At that price I'll pick up two or three bottles ..... Since I started spraying Garlic-Pepper spray, seems like one gallon is usually enough to spray my entire garden...

    Garlic - Pepper Spray .....

    Thanks for the tips! I think I'll order the Neem oil. I really don't mind mixing up my own solutions from Garlic, Peppers and Tomatoes, but the Garlic and Pepper burn my skin, and also make me sneeze almost non-stop .... Even though I bought some heavy-duty rubber gloves, my fingers still burn...

    Garlic - Pepper Spray .....

    I'm hoping that I can go completely organic to fight the bugs .... I've tried Sevin-5 and others, and I think those chemicals have made me sick! Also, I like to be able to go out and pick anything I want from my garden anytime I want. Sometimes I like to pick stuff, like fresh Peas...
