So I guess that your husband comes from northern Germany as in the south, kole is mostly given to rabbits.... My mother(from the north) loved Grünkohleintopf and my father (from the south) learnt to love it too. Did you tried Grünkohl Salad? <BR/><BR/>By the way, I found your blog 2 days ago and I love it.I'm spending long hours to read all.<BR/><BR/>Christa, a German from France.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-79196149557044058962008-05-13T03:57:00.000+10:002008-05-13T03:57:00.000+10:00oy.

I always dreaded the days following because I knew it was going to be reheated and given to me. <BR/>Maybe thats why I don't eat pork now...*Angela*https://www.blogger.com/profile/00444753948799794559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-39927112761750203492008-05-12T12:08:00.000+10:002008-05-12T12:08:00.000+10:00Hi Rhonda,Your garden looks gorgeous and those cho...Hi Rhonda,<BR/><BR/>Your garden looks gorgeous and those chooks are so cute! I have been reading your blog for a while now and find it so inspiring. I am in an apartment in Sydney at the moment so only have limited space to grow things (just harvested my first potatoes this weekend! A total of 5, weighing about 250grams all up haha). <BR/>Hopefully in a year or two we will be on a bit of land in country NSW but for now I am concentrating on learning new crafts and skills and making the most of what I have with the help of your wise words.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776481723125911564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-34784741341105310722008-05-11T11:04:00.000+10:002008-05-11T11:04:00.000+10:00HI Kristina - please pass on my congratulations to...HI Kristina - please pass on my congratulations to your daughter on this importnat milestone. Good luck with your garden. Wind breaks are an important part of any garden. A spruce and pine one sounds wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the move, Rosie.<BR/><BR/>Hello Quinne dear.<BR/><BR/>Hi Flo, it's good to have you here again!<BR/><BR/>Alice Grace. I freeze them in their skins, just sitting in a freezer bag. They go black but are still very good for cooking or smoothies.<BR/><BR/>I have never heard of hornworms.<BR/><BR/>beloved goddess, I wonder why it is that we don't sell our own oranges in our own countries - in season. We are often flooded with Californian oranges here and local orange growers have to plough their crops in.Rhonda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175785349529109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-32860022651310046302008-05-10T23:14:00.000+10:002008-05-10T23:14:00.000+10:00The orange looks delicious.

These were Australian grown, but I wonder how old they were. Looks like I'm going to have to take the drive to a pick your own farm, last year they were delicious.Cheryl@Gingerbread Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189189331024564663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-36155737507446871412008-05-10T22:47:00.000+10:002008-05-10T22:47:00.000+10:00Do you get hornworms on your tomatoes?

I'm happy to say, that even before that comment came, I have already stopped using the salt- and it wasn't even for environmental reason!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for pointing that out though. A few of the things I have been sharing recently are new to me, and I sure don't want to mislead others. Wise words are always welcome.

But...the very next day I plan to start planting my garden! The peppers (both hot and sweet) and tomatoes I started are about to spill out of their pots! I can't wait to eat my own, know-where-it-came-from produce again! We planted 36 little spruce and pine trees this past Monday for a new shelter belt along the north edge of our place. It will be a while before they actually block the wind but we had to start somewhere! Take care Rhonda! Thanks for a great site!<BR/><BR/>KristinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
