Thread: In the Garden 2017

Cuda you must be a little younger than I thought. Most Harley riders that I know will not ride any colder than their age!

I don't know what the temp was this morning but it felt a little warmer than yesterday morning. I stayed a little longer and had a lazy time in the sleeping bag.

I then harvested some of natures garden.

I'm familiar with what appears to be fiddle head fern sprouts but the 'Ramps' I had to lookup. They do sound interesting. Seems that they have fallen into the 'gourmet' craze with chefs, foodies etc putting a huge demand on them.

Enjoy them

You are not average then.....

I have heard about the craze and that is why I won't tell you within 300 miles of where they are.... People tend to abuse things and then wonder why they disappear.

They have a good flavor but I warn that if you eat one that your romantic life will take a serious downturn!

I read that you can use a very sharp knife and cut only the upper 2/3rds of the bulb and then refill the hole and the plant will continue to grow. But as we all should know (anyone can be an 'Expert' online).

Well since I don't have a romantic life go ahead and send me some to try. Pm and I'll give you the mailing address?

It's about time! It's finally looking like spring here, so I'm gettin' mine in this week.
Good luck with your veggies, gents!

My little driveway rock garden in the front yard. This Agave cactus is putting on a stalk this year. They only do this every 25 or 30 years and then they die.
The flowers will be blooming in a few weeks, more photos soon. BTW the "stalk" only took about 2 weeks to reach this height.
The stalks, when dried, are very light weight and strong as #$%^&!!!! They make great walking sticks and Didgeridoos.

The greenhouse at the university near us had an agave bloom a couple of summers ago. The plant itself was over six feet high and they had to remove panels from the roof for the stalk. I'll see if I still have a pic on my phone.

That is huge!

Nature is an amazing thing isn't it. To be able to produce a stalk like that in the time frame told is Absolutely Amazing Indeed. :

Yours included Freddie!

That's incredible! I had no idea about Agave "stalks". Amazing!
