Iris are pretty rugged. Unless a humongous trunk is laying directly on them I wouldn't worry too much.

So I think I found the original video I saw and now a later one that goes more step by step. Seems my faulty memory has been exposed again! I will certainly have to boost my intake of brain food! GG, master gardener, you were right insofar as the type of lemongrass we get at the grocer...

Not having a controlled temp device, I'll just wait. So the plant I purchased before was definitely the grassy one. Certainly didn't come close to 4', was about the same as in the video. Yes, Larry, this person on the video did exactly that with hers but she had tons of it growing. They would...

I think you should have dropped those pkgs off at the police station.... man! your could get your own TV series just one that! :LOL: (not forgetting my ex and son are cops!)

end of season, planted it in spring, dug up in fall. 4 months? possibly but they looked the same from the video... not thick stalks, just grassy. The thick stocks and the grassy looking plants. There is no way the grassy looking plants have those thick stocks from the video I saw. Did yours?

Yup, medtran I agree. And I think "The Spruce Eats" is really bad for that. Worst part is that the original recipe is John Mitzewich! (who I believe is Chef John, no?) taxy, didn't try that, I'll go back and see if it works! Thanks Larry, I was actually sort of leaning that way...

So I just did those shrimp... didn't realize it was so late, but done and eaten... shrimp, snow peas and jalapenos. here's one for you, all the same jalapeno but some pieces were hot and other ... meh... could have really used some starch to soak up the olive oil but chose wine over...

Well, GG, it looked very much like your patio picture. I dug it up by September as it was starting to get rather cool at night. I saw a video on keeping part of it over the winter and thought I might try it. Alas, life got in the way and it didn't happen. But it never developed thick...

Still have shrimp I shelled a couple of days ago... guess I'll throw them in a pan along with some snow peas - maybe a bit of jalapeno? and a few other sweet mini peppers? Gotta do something with them - refuse to toss them! just might have to fire the cook - the nerve of some of this hired...

Good enough for me! Clams they be!

You might want to read this article I found on ratio's for muffins. Interesting but for me a bit confusing (but that's easy to do, :LOL:) I think, as much as I have never had a problem with Ina Garten's recipe, that perhaps there is just too much butter? Anyhow, check this article out. and...

Nice idea taxy. At the moment I'm just hoping I can keep it alive to transplant and actually see the transplant grow. Have not really thought past that! :LOL: I am, upon thinking about it, hoping it will split into more than one plant. Otherwise, what would be the point? The bottom part of...

When a recipe calls for 2 bunches of Asparagus - I had to look up how asparagus is sold. Well, commonly it can be in 1.5 to 2.5 lb. bundles. That, to me is a huge difference! My question is if you were to read this recipe what would you consider "2 bunches". I ask because, to me that is a...

Should I ever be in a position to purchase another grill - it would probably be a hitachi! Or the cheapest gas grill on legs that is available. The more expensive, the faster they seem to rust or just plain give out. Not worth it in my opinion. Am actually thinking of searching out one of...

medtran, what would you and Craig call those clams? I don't care about their "official" name, local names are good enough for me. Yes, I understand 'cockles' have vertical as well as horizontal ribs, but I only really think of maybe 3 /4 categories. Oysters, Clams, Mussels. I guess to me...

That makes sense, pepperhead. For Hamilton the last frost date is about May 3rd, but Milton, a tiny bit north of me (and I'm a tiny bit east of Hamilton) is May 28th... which would make it just about 2.5-3 weeks later than Hamilton (my official city). My parents lived their last years in...

Here taxy, maybe these will help you visualize them. These are all the same clam - different views inside outside closed up closed side showing hinge end side view .top view

I've started telling everyone about the benefits of eating dried grapes. It's all about raisin awareness. I've started investing in stocks: beef, vegetable, chicken. One day I hope to be a bouillianaire. If you boil a funny bone, it becomes a laughing stock. Now that's humerus. I accidentally...

I was sort of hoping he would leave me at least one of his digital camera's but he gave them all to a young budding camera buff. I hope that person appreciated the gift as it was in excess of probably 20 grand and maybe more.

You see them open now but when closed they were creamy white all over with one brown lip.

I bought some lemon grass just about the time this thread was started. I chopped up 4 of the smaller ones for the freezer and was hoping that it was not mold I saw on the end of the larger ones. Took the chance and stuffed them in a glass, changed the water about every 3 or 4 days (when I...

Here's a pic of the tiny clam shells with a fork for comparison.

bliss you are correct, the pkg does say 596 mg... but that is still 25% of the daily nutritional quotient. But more to the point, it just tasted horribly salty! Plus I miscalculated the Vongole and have to add 2 g to my 40 for the day. I can still live with that. Although the pkg did not...

Like the cream idea, thanks GG.

LOL, yup, but maybe short ribs?
