while cold can certainly zap above ground material, most hardy succulents winter kill from wet roots do you have any pictures of what it was?

Oh Jrzy - you know my gardening skills! I have no idea what they are. Up until today I was calling them succubus instead of succulent. But they are pretty. I think I posted photos earlier, let me check. Maybe somebody here would know.

And no, I can't have them inside because of the cats. Thought about taking them to Mom's but that would involve carrying them through the house. Full of dirt. Which spells disaster. Do you remember the time I tried to carry the shredder downstairs?

Oops!

Funny, I do see lots of sorrel leaf recipes now... seems I couldn't find any in the spring when I was first researching the stuff. We get all kinds of odd veggies that I have to research. It's been very cool.

Sorrel Leaf. Its from the CSA, but I don't know what to do with it. I looked it up online, and I could make it into a tea. It's too tangy for salad. Anyone use this stuff?

We put up 4 gallons of salsa last night. Lots o' chopping! And 95% from our garden. I bought some extra jalapenos and I have to add the Albuquerque fire-roasted chiles in there. I took this jar to work and the boys already ate a little. Had to hide it 'till lunch!
