Cucumber Salad Dressing, . .

August 23, 2012 by Lacey Leave a Comment

If you are looking around your abundant garden and wondering what you might do with those extra cucumbers, I have a great little recipe for you! This cucumber salad dressing is ridiculously fresh tasting and a wonderful little twist on the old stand by of “ranch”. You will love it best on any lettuce other than iceberg, but hey, I love it on that as well. Get the lettuce and croutons out…lunch is served!

Lemon Blackberry Bars

August 2, 2012 by Lacey Leave a Comment

As promised, here is the lemon blackberry bar recipe I referred to last week.  This recipe alone is  a great reason to grow blackberries!
A few notes about this recipe.  I like a thin crust on a lemon bar, so if you like a thicker one then go ahead and double the crust portion of the recipe.(I have been known to double the batch for the crust and refrigerate the other half so that I have a head start the next time I want to make this)   Secondly I like it to have a very strong lemon flavor because I am not crazy about that many eggs  in one place at the same time, so there is a lot of lemon zest in this recipe.  Many recipes for lemon bars tell you to put foil in the pan and “lift” it out when it is done.  I haven’t had any problems lifting my bars out, if you do—use foil to create a cradle for your bars.   Lastly, when I add the blackberry part of the filling (or raspberryJ) I like to drizzle it after the bars have been in the oven for about 10 minutes.  The filling starts to set and when it does then the heavy blackberry filling doesn’t sink all the way to the bottom, oh… and I don’t strain out the seeds.  Who cares if the seeds get to stay around for the main event?   It all sounds more intricate than it is.  Give it a try, the payoff for this recipe is more than worth it. Every time I make this dessert  someone will stop by the table and pick up one—then they head back with a small plate to pick up three more.  Some recipes are just like that.

Plant of the Week- Golden Spirit Smokebush

July 17, 2012 by Lacey Leave a Comment

With colorful annuals and perennials in the height of their blooming period, shrubs can easily be lost in the landscape of summer. If you’re looking for a shrub that will add as much interest to your garden as a cluster of black-eyed-susan then I got just the plant for you!

The almost neon green foliage of the Golden Spirit smokebush {Cotinus cogsygra ‘Golden Spirit’} will add texture, color, and structure to your garden. The large, round chartreuse leaves contribute sharp contrast to an otherwise monotonously medium green landscape. Golden Spirit is perfect for hot, sunny locations and {once established} is both drought and heat tolerant. A vigorous grower, heavy pruning will be required in early spring/late winter. Trimming back branches to within three buds of the base of the plant will keep the size in check, as well as reduce thick hardwood from forming, keeping growth springy and fresh.

 

 

USDA Zones: 4-6
Height: 8-10′
With: 6-8′
Bloom Time: early summer
Exposure: full sun
Water Requirements: regular watering until established

We are so grateful for the rain yesterday.  We have had so many wild fires and one has destroyed hundreds and hundreds of acres in my home town.  On any given summer day I love a cooling rain storm but yesterday was something special.  I stood in the downpour and let it cover me in a blanket of answered prayer.
