Still haven't planted my nursery yet. Jalapeno is sending out some flowers. Parsley has been cut back to almost nothing- but is alive and sending out new shoots.
One the shows that I am absolutely obsessive over is Game Of Thrones. At the beginning, watching it on TV was one of the sacrifices I made for my son Rob- too much blood and gore. But then he got the DVDs and I learned the story and became a fan. Then read the books and became a little obsessed. Was watching one of Emergency Awesome's videos to catch up, and saw this link for the cookbook on Amazon. From the reviews, I learned that the cooks for this book are at the Inn at the crossroads. They have lots of articles that open your culinary horizons. The first recipe I saw had fennel pollen as an ingredient. Here is how to harvest it: Harvesting Fennel Pollen So if you can harvest it, shoukl I grow it on the porch or the garden? Growing Fennel in Zone 9 From investigation, I learned that it can be fairly invasive, can be grown in pots- and if we want an ingredient fresh- then we need to have it on the porch- so I filled a pot with regular potting soil, took some fennel seeds from my spice boxes- and my next experiment will be seeing how fennel grows from seeds found in my spice box! The pot is now in my nursery- if it sprouts, I'll post pictures next week. In the meantime, guess I'll order some fennel powder from Amazon!
See you tomorrow. Have pictures for 7-layer dip that I am bringing to a pot luck today- if it is successful, I'll share it with you tomorrow!
