It was the most beautiful, clear pink color and (you will be happy to know) didn't have the faintest taste of rhubarb. Hey, if you could make wine like that, I would have no qualms about turning all my rhubarb over to you! (Well, maybe I'd have to keep just one little plant for pies.)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-88644696314719943532010-06-26T19:23:04.566-05:002010-06-26T19:23:04.566-05:00Hey, Erin - So you vote radish, eh?

Except when you came to my front porch a sign would say "unless you managed to make wine out of that Rhubarb, leave it on the porch" LOL! just kidding, I am sure I will learn to prepare it some way I will like, but until then the rhubarb slamming will continue...Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-80462465073567012602010-06-26T19:20:01.116-05:002010-06-26T19:20:01.116-05:00Hi, Lorie - Thank you!

Also, it repels aphids so I plant it next to my dill because I always seem to have a problem keeping the aphids off the dill.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-88905300093660655192010-06-26T19:18:48.996-05:002010-06-26T19:18:48.996-05:00hahaha that is definitely a radish!

Tricksters at the seed company, they get bored, y'know? I LOVE the look of lettuce beds, I interplant mine with flowers too, it is the one bed that really calms me when I look at it, all orderly and neat! I grew Mizuna for the first time in February, loved it and can't wait to be able to plant it again in the fall, too hot right now.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-78355741307806562002010-06-26T16:04:26.934-05:002010-06-26T16:04:26.934-05:00Everything looks wonderful.

If you go to http://ahomegrownjournalblogspot.com/2009/07/green-pie.html you'll find it. Or scroll down on my home page until you get to the "Search" box (on right hand side), type in Green Pie and it should pop up.<br /><br />Why, oh, WHY! don't we all live in the same community??!! We could share cooking and all kinds of other things. And collectively could probably solve all the world's problems, too!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-24069300875168598262010-06-26T11:50:12.213-05:002010-06-26T11:50:12.213-05:00Your gardenlooks lovely.

And by the way, I would be very happy to trade off cooking with you. You're right, other people's cooking always tastes better!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941280453570504094noreply@blogger.com
