The reds fall apart, and make a great lentil-thickened stew. Some fresh-made nan soaks up the juice. Yummy!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the garden and mushroom pictures.Miss Demeanornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-39813654307852142022011-08-22T10:11:13.908-08:002011-08-22T10:11:13.908-08:00emrysa,

We are in week 2 of the usual August deluge ) patch of Southeast which shows great promise of increasing yield and reducing drainage problems. Am keeping my fingers crossed.<br /><br />Also, have enjoyed greens since May 1 by adapting Eliot Coleman's winter garden ideas for starting them outside weeks ahead of norm. Have hopes of extending the season on this end too<br />But no way could I ever get the tomatoes, corn, even the big beets you do... dang.<br />Alaska PiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-19961719006366676362011-08-22T02:40:30.323-08:002011-08-22T02:40:30.323-08:00I always look forward to your garden pics, Phil, a...I always look forward to your garden pics, Phil, and I used to love Linda's garden blogging, too.Aussie Blue Skynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-68525434134304384292011-08-21T23:35:41.486-08:002011-08-21T23:35:41.486-08:00AKjeh,
