It gets pruned regularly and goes on just about everything. It especially goes well with salmon.
* 1 - 1½ lbs Fresh Salmon fillet
* 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
* 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
* 2 Tbsp Fresh Rosemary, crushed and chopped
* 1 Tbsp Ground Black Pepper
* 1 Tbsp Kosher Salt
* ¼ Cup Slivered Almonds
* Non-Stick Cooking Spray
Preheat the overn to 450°F. Spray a cookie sheet with the non-stick cooking spray and place the salmon fillet skin side down on the tray. Combine remaining ingredients, except for the almonds, in a bowl and then spread evenly over the fillet. Sprinkle almonds evenly over the fillet.
Bake the salmon about 15 minutes or until the color turns from translucent to opaque and fish just begins to flake with a fork. Do not over cook.
Cut the fillet into portions down to the skin. Lift the fish from the skin with a spatula; remove to a plate. Serve this stuff immediately.

I didn't bother to cover my peppers or tomatoes, but I think they made it through the past two days! We'll see.

I always plant my poinsettias in the Spring to let them grow for awhile, and IT made it as well....strange, but I'm happy I can enjoy it for a little longer.

As winter sets in & thoughts of gardening recede until spring, anyone up for a communal approach starting in the spring as in a migrating group project along the lines of helping each other prepare the soil & the area in general for gardening/landscaping projects? In one day, a group can accomplish a ton of work that might take an individual weeks .....

Mine needs some servicing. If someone can make it work right again (I think it just needs the carbourator cleaned out from water getting in there) then it can be used. Its one of the small ones, but hella easier than digging by hand even if it is only 2' wide or so.
I may not be able to join in this rolling gardening party, but there's no reason we can't help each other out on this.

Anyone ever thought of a community produce/plant swap? I had TONS of cucumbers and green peppers this year....would have swapped for some green beans or hot peppers.

Just picked the last 4 green peppers I'm going to get this season. I still have 7 tomatoes that are on living vines and starting to ripen.

What are you going to do with those peppers?

Post by LimitedRecourse on Nov 29, 2007 16:36:45 GMT -5
Well, they are very tiny (2-3 inches long by 1-2 inches around) so they won't go far. Would you like to have them?

Thanks, LR, but I meant more along the lines of what will you be doing to prepare them to eat. Ya know, like recipes?

They will probably end up in a fresh salad.

I've got a big momma jamma rear tine tiller & another chew-'em-up-and-spit-'em-out tiller tool that fits on a weed eater stem. I'm having some mulch & manure delivered to till into a garden spot -- need help tilling & raking the grass that's covering the area, then spreading the mulch/manure on a multi- terraced area & tilling it into the soil.
In exchange, I'll help till & work on your garden spots for anyone & everyone interested in teaming up....

I chose to use the green tomatoes and peppers from my last harvest of the year to make some spicy chow-chow. It goes real well on pork chops and can be used anywhere that sweet relish would work....like grilled hamburgers.

New question! For some reason, I cannot remember if mums bloom more than once, in a season ...  |

Thanks! I thought so, and just a couple of days ago I chopped off the old blooms, hoping to encourage new ones, but just wasn't certain. |

Mums are also perennials....just prune them to about 3 inches (after the first frost) and cover with mulch. They should return next year.

Between NOW and the end of February is the best time to prune MOST of your fruit trees. It is also a good time to prune other trees, as most trees are dormant during the "winter" months.

Anyone planting "winter" gardens indoor or outdoor?

All I've got is two plants I rescued from a garbage dump while I was doing some field work. Actually, I need to put the weaker one in the sun today. It was inside the bag and still looks a bit anemic. Not sure what to do with them once I get them established and healthy though.

Anyone planting "winter" gardens indoor or outdoor? Don't have the space/time to start with anything new, at the moment ... brought many plants indoors a few months ago, and those keep me busy enough. Trying to plan more for outdoors, a little, for spring, however. |

I am saving some poinsettias to plant outside after the last frost. If you plant them in a nice, sunny location, they become fairly large bushes in a year. They will die if the temperature drops much below 45, but if you re-potted them in large containers and brought them inside, you could have poinsettas year-round.
