| Enough apricot chutney for a lifetime. Jun 29, 2012 | ||
|
|
With a tree literally bursting with apricots and a household of chutney lovers, apricot chutney was a no brainer and Alfredo and I spent the hottest hours of the day out of the sun cooking up a big batch. I found a recipe that sounded good and involved, more or less, ingredients that we had on hand. | |
| yum! So you have to store in the fridge, right? |
| Love that you add more pepper than the recipe calls for; I always do that, too! |
This sounds so wonderful!!! I can hardly wait until the apricots are ripe... it is my understanding that our cousins tree was full of blooms and I am about the only person around the is just crazy fo... more » |

I could not be more pleased with last nights meal. It was a great team effort from everyone in the house and every single fresh ingredient came off of the property. Everything we ate, except for the sausage and corn meal that made the polenta, was grown here! We had grilled zucchini, all varieties; an incredible salad with mixed... ...see more | |
| Looks like you're eating up a storm of healthful food. Wish I'd been there. Love, Mom |
| I'm especially envious of the "grilled apricots from the exploding apricot tree" since the stone fruits around here took a big hit when it got hot in March followed by killing frosts... |
| Looks like a fantastic place to have an awesome meal! |

Alfredo and I are just back from Morocco and while is was a wonderful trip we are so happy to be back and get back in touch with the garden. First, I would like to fully acknowledge Uncle Tom's wonderful, watchful eye on the garden. He did a truly fantastic job, as I knew he would (though he could have picked a few weeds!....just... ...see more | |

Well, I can add another delicious item to my cooking repertoire thanks again to my next door neighbor Rita. Oh man were they good! | |

| Tom's Journal - Cherry Pies! Jun 06, 2012 | ||

Ripening fruit trees are beginning to compete with the garden. Niece Callie's husband Randy and our son Ry picked a ton of cherries off one of our trees and Callie made two wonderfully delicious pies with them. One was devoured on the spot.... literarily! | |
| Great family photo..it will be a nice memory in the future! |
| Very nice! That sounds delicious! :) |
I will be waiting for the pictures of the fried zucchini blossoms, as this is on my first "to do" list for zucchini... as soon as I know I have extra blossoms. I have one recipe, and it wil... more » |
| Tom's Journal - The Great Tomato Tower Switcheroo! Jun 01, 2012 | ||

I'm a simple guy. I like things easy and simple. That's why I copy great ideas; like Nonno's tomato tower design over at the gas station. He is now 91-years-old and still gardens everyday in a huge garden that he takes care of all by himself. I've watched him over these past few years and every year he does his tomato towers... ...see more | |
| Great story! |
| Great story! |
Well, I hope I can look that good and be that healthy at 91. There is no keeping up with a good "old" gardener. I use to have a neighbor, who, when we bought our house was in her 90's (so she s... more » |

Alfredo and I leave for a trip to Morocco this weekend for about a week and a half and as the excitement builds daily so does my anxiety about leaving the garden. Of course, Tom is here and has promised to water and tend to the plants; but will he talk to them as we do?... will he play them music?... will he pick their weeds?! ... ...see more |
