    I learned something today. I never thought about freezing celery. Glad to know about this. Sometime, maybe you should do a 'tour' of your freezer. There might be some things we should know about freezer worthy items we never considered. Lovely to visit with you today!

    Once again, I thank you for twenty blissfully relaxing and informative (and mouthwatering) minutes! My favorite part of every week is a new, or often revisited video from Kevin! Your quince is showing appreciation for that sun-warmed wall! Where I am, in a valley at the opposite side of the country, the local blooms are a few containerized winter white and burgundy pansies cheering up the front doorstep. But three weeks ago I began beseeching my Arctic Blue Rose (it isn’t actually blue, more like a pink-leaning mauve) for “once more before winter please.” The experts claim Arctic Blue is deciduous, but here it wants to be evergreen. The other roses already started their long winter naps. This little rose just obliged me with a single bud. I’ll give it one more day before cutting with the knowledge that after bringing it indoors its colors will change at least twice more before fading.

    Things are different here in Florida. I planted my winter garden at the community garden yesterday.
    I went with black eyed peas, chives, radishes and collard greens. They're all cold hardy, and our chief gardeners recently redid all our beds, adding a drip irrigation system.
    Gardening is always an experiment.:)

      Hi Kevin - Thank you for your videos - they offer a sense of calm, but also attention to the many details that make a house a home. You asked about things that are growing or blooming in our gardens right now that surprise us: well, here in Troy, NY we have a white lilac that is blooming for the second time this year. Gorgeous, full fragrance! No leaves! But blossoms all over the (large) shrub, all breaking into bloom; buds everywhere. Then, not too surprising, my rhododendrons are blooming for a second time; again with more large buds looking like they may open this week. My marigolds have died, but petunias are soldiering on, looking pretty darn healthy, too! (usually it’s the other way around with these two plants). Turf lillies are full of blue-black berries, nice to see. I’ve been a gardener for many years now (60+), and I’m seeing things that never happened before. Such an interesting time in the garden - all the “rules” are off!
      Thanks for all that you do - your videocasts bring peace to my heart! Best, Anne Cassidy

    • @judymoskel8649
      @judymoskel8649 Год назад

      I collect different varieties of iris and maybe your late blooming is a variety called "Immortality", I have one and it blooms in Spring and then again in Fall, sometimes pretty late like November. They are always white in color. Very large and beautiful.

    Thank you for the strawberry cake recipe! I know I will love this! Like you, I also freeze a lot of things from my garden. I've also gotten into the habit of dehydrating some, too, just in case something happens to the freezer. Post hurricane power outages can be devastating! I have a gas stove, so I can the majority of things as they thaw, but it's always nice to have dehydrated vegetables on hand, especially onions, garlic, celery, green peppers. They will keep for years in vacu-sealed mason jars.
