garlic scapes...bodacious bulb bi-product....we have started harvesting them....yum ...chop em up & put em in your homefries..mild garlic flavor and very versatile... i am considering dehydrating a few...dried garlic scape flakes...the flower produced by this coolness is good looking too...we have left a few to bloom but they say the bulb will be larger at harvest if you pluck these babies off..we shall see....
i found this creature hiding in the woods trying to scare passing traffic & potential customers. these are the worries of a work at home mom.this creature then asked permission to jump the fence over into the cemetary cause thats where the other ghosts play.....creepy.
Speaking of creepy ...the vine i transplanted from the Caldwell farm has come back to life ( the old roses i jacked are doing pretty good too).... but the lupine luciousness has left. every year i cant wait until they bloom... i have told the children the story of miss rumphius.. alice rumphius is a little girl who must do three things in her life: 1) she must travel to far away places. 2) she will live by the sea when she settles down. 3) she must make the world more beautiful in some way. so, as alice gets older she travels around the world and meets many people. after this, she settles down in a little house by the sea. she is curious as to how to make the world more beautiful when she stumbles upon scattering lupine flower seeds across the town. the next spring there are lupines everywhere and she is referred to as the "lupine lady" from then on. . hunter wanted to know if she had planted the ones that grow here... i said she planted some of ours but the state of maine helps her. the other annuals are blooming and the not so showy but persistant friends known as the perrenials are considering some new real estate. so in the words of miss rumphius 's grandpa..."do something to make the world more beautiful"
