My dream is to make my own rose hips jam one day.

Comment on Muscadine harvest by Earth Ocean Sky Redux

It’s been SO long since I have bought and/or eaten a grape with seeds. These look delicious and are making me want to run out and find some. I remember only eating seeded grapes as a child, loving to see how far I could spit the seeds. Yet today, I am trained like a Pavlovian dog to buy seedless. I am going to go back to the good old grape with seeds.

Great photos.

Comment on The allure of ginseng by Angelyn

Nik, I use the coning process as described by Machaelle Small Wright. Rather than repeat myself here, please see my story and explanation on this page: http://www.treehaven.org/cocreating.html

Thanks for your interest and question.

Hello. Would you be willing to say any more about “opening a coning with the Deva of this property, the Deva of the Garden and the Deva of Ginseng.” I’m intrigued at the notion and your specific language and approach to dialogue with these entities. Thank you.

My husband starting to plant a few grapes in our backyard. I think I’ll ask him to include this variety. It’s beautiful, and the way you described the taste, makes my mouth water.

Comment on A gift of Jerusalem artichokes by Angelyn

Linda, I have a friend who cooks Jerusalem artichokes and I plan to get her expertise about it since i have not cooked them before. I did read about them in Nature’s Garden by Samuel Thayer. (He’s written two great books about foraging for food.) I suggest doing an Internet search. By the way this plant is also called a sunchoke because it does not really have artichokes the way the real artichoke plant does. A quick google of “sunchoke recipes” brings up a lot of interesting info.

Very Interesting and beautiful pictures. I have a Jerusalem Artichoke plant but was not sure what it was. How to you use the artichoke, cooking ideas?
Thanks Linda

Comment on Creating a hoop house (eventually) by Claire Mandeville

Thanks for posting this thorough and interesting accounting of your hoop house. Where I live we have a walk-in greenhouse (unheated) as well as less permanent heavy plastic/pvc pipe greenhouses, for winter gardening. It is awesome to be able to grow food year-round in North Carolina.
