2011 Veggies

Try adding some olive oil, lime and corriander in there as well McP, that will also help cut through the chile and balances it out a bit. I love salsa too.

thanks dst, i was gonna add lime but i was a lil to drunk to walk to the store. i probably would have came back for a few hours. i get adventures when drunk so i try to saty at home when im on a good one

oh dear, funny stuff McP. I know exactly what you mean about drunken adventures, haha. Why take 5minutes when you can take 3 hours, have lots of fun, and not know exactly what you have done.

im with you on that D. i just tend to get into trouble on my adventures ive learned my lesson so most the time no matter how drunk i am i stay at where i began to drink. im not a socail drinker really, i like to sit at home and drink by my self or with one of my buddies. i usally only drink to get a nice buzz and then stop but hey some times we just got to get fucked up

Im loving the veggies everyone! Im harvesting more than I eat atm so trying to give em away when I can lol. Will hopefully get pics ups soon.
Safe drunken adventures and happy growing to all


Gotta admit I lol'd pretty good when I saw that busch next to those primo veggies its the contrast that got me.

haha i didnt even realize i caught the busch can, i usally come home grab a beer and go to the garden to relax, i know its the cheap shit but hey it works and for cheap beer its not bad im a busch drinker and some times ill spoil my self with rolling rock.

and im glad you got alor of veggies coming in, i too have been giving alot away, but i am gonna stop it now as i want to start fermenting some of the stuff and maybe some pickling.

yesterday i came home from work tired as can be and i grabbed a beer and a bowl and went and sat in my garden and dam near fell asleep for a few hours, gardens are just so relaxing to me for some reason even on the farm where i work my ass off i still feel relaxed and happy

I seem to do that a lot. I will go out with a plan of doing something and think, "I'll just sit and smoke a spell first." Quite a spell sometimes!

I got big spuds and I cannot lie....

So funny, I only planted 2 little spuds that had roots coming out of them. And we got 7 potatoes back, lmao. Not exaclty going to feed us over the winter is it, but we did enjoy them for dinner last night. NB to self, plant more next time!!!!



And our avacados.....only another 10 years to go, hehe. With a couple of Money Tree snips growing in the background.



Peace veg heads,

DST

nice veggies dst..

Looking good DST. My lettuce grew kinda messed up and I have no idea why but it was still good. It taste very good. Sadly it didn't make it to any salads or burgers or any thing because it got picked and ate right then and there.

Tell me about it, still trying to get the feed right for my lettuce. I tend to end up with frazzled edges at the minute. But I have got a few still to pull up. And I reveged some and they are producing seeds.

Well I tried 20-20-20 for feed but I'm thinking that they might like nitrogen more then any thing. The lettuce that I grew is a 45 day strain so I think that I could get away with pure nitro. Growing food indoors is hard to do because they are more demanding then herbs hands down.

nice taters DST.
on the farm we expect 10 pounds back from 1 pound planted. so depending on how much them spuds weighed you might have made good on them.
mine are still growing, they are starting to die a lil bit but thats what they do when their producing.


as for feeding lettuce, i just use horse compost and a bit of Peruvian seabird guano and they seemed to like it, i did not feed them i just added to soil before i planted.


also here is a pic of a small harvest of my garden, i will get a video soon.
i am hang drying some basil to preserve them for later use

Very very nice Mc veggie pants! Looking dank all around hehe

Heres what my garden is up to

Nice Spuds DST. I am going to plant some next year.
Your Tomatoes are beautiful McPurp! I am just starting to get a little red on my Cherokee purple. My German Queen is dying.
I love your garden Whodat. It is all so dark green and healthy.

Is that Thai basil McP? looks a bit like it. Do you know what is amazing, just deep frying some of the basil leaves. If you have a meal, (like a Thai curry or something) Deep fry the basil leaves, lovely sweet and crunchy!!!

Well the two I used were quite small so I guess it could be around that average.

We got some potatoe fruit as well, which due to Potatoes and Tomatoes being part of the Deadly nightshade family (as are peppers and many other agricultural crops) are poisenous to eat. You can plant the seeds but they produce smaller produce. Anyway, after some great google work by the wife, we discovered that the potatoe produces them when there has been overly wet conditions, which I know I like to bang on about how much it rains so this kind of proves it!!!! Fukkin wet Europe! The fruit looks very much like a tomatoe!

I will post a quick an easy salad recipe and dressing we had last night from the garden.

Peace, DST

So here is the salad I had last night. Basically just chop up your lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes (all home grown of course ) Then same fo rthe avacado (still waiting 10 years for our own fruit, lol) and throw in some capers and some guerkins (chopped up). Then add the magic, PUMPKIN OIL!!! This stuff is the shit, we bought it in Austria, a speciality there. It's like dark green, almost like crude oil but when mixed with some lemon squeeze is amazing. So pour that on, add some balsamic for sweetness, and then a bit of fresh lemon or lemon juice squeezed in. Then I just put some pepperdews filled with cream cheese and some sesame seeds on top to garnish. And eh voila!

I had chicken breast battered with nutmeg and seasoning, then shallow fried. If you are on a budget, a good idea is to buy 1 chicken breast. Butterfly it out, then cover is with cellophane/foodwrap, get a rolling pin and flatten that bitch right out. Basically you are making what the Germans call a Schnitzel. Then breadcrumb this and 1 breast is generally enough for 2 people done this way....especially if you add your own breadcrumb, this bulks the schnitzel up.

Enjoy, and any questions feel free to ask away.



Peace, DST

is there a bowl for me dst lol
