We have a large cold frame too...I'll keep you all updated, of course.<br /><br /> Hi Willow...The salad was really good. And easy, and almost all my own ingredients, which makes me more than a little smug. LOL<br /> I'm a little sore today, but it was nothing serious. Thank goodness--I have too much to do still to be fooling around. :)Akanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513632434353119491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-21273356251872340042012-08-27T08:39:30.782-07:002012-08-27T08:39:30.782-07:00the salad looks so good and your talk of garden go...the salad looks so good and your talk of garden goodies makes me miss having my own fresh produce big time. i remember the hurry, hurry days of harvesting and then like you said, whoosh!<br />glad you survived the fall! ouch! <br />namaste' willowhttp://homesteadheart.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-3553759634434659442012-08-27T05:55:58.323-07:002012-08-27T05:55:58.323-07:00Annie,so glad you are not hurt after your fall.

As usual, your food makes me hungry!<br /><br />I like this time of year but only because I plant more- lettuce, greens, radishes- just to make me feel like summer won't come to a close;)LindaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624659670781181099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-28523063855002546102012-08-26T19:46:53.597-07:002012-08-26T19:46:53.597-07:00Thanks, Ashling--it was really good!!
and the rai...Thanks, Ashling--it was really good!!<br /><br />and the rain has been off and on, but I think we're getting a fair amount. It's supposed to do this through tonight and into tomorrow.<br /><br /> Rita--I keep telling myself that I NEVER used to have air conditioning...and now I think I can't live without it. Funny how that is, huh? Hope you have a great week too!!<br /><br /> DJan--you know, when I first moved to Northern California, back in the mid seventies...I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I love the weather there.It wouldn't take me any time at all to get use to that again. :)<br /><br /> Beth--The rain didn't start here until after 3 o'clock...and it's been pretty spotty. Hopefully it will keep this up all night and into tomorrow. It has at least cooled down a lot.<br /><br /> Nancy--This was such a silly fall...but I know what you mean. Depending on the herbs I'm drying...I usually use a brown paper sack and hang them in the back pantry (closet). These chives that I'm drying I just chopped them up and put them in a baking pan on waxed paper and set them out to dry. I stir them around a couple of times a day...When they're good and dry, I'll put them in a glass jar.<br /><br /> I use them, all kinds of ways, definitely in soups, sauces...today I made a pitcher of iced tea. Before I put the tea bags in the big 4 cup measuring bowl that I use, I dumped about a quarter of a cup of dried lemongrass, then tea bags, then water. I nuked it for 7 minutes and after it steeped some, made a pitcher of tea. It is amazing...a beautiful mild lemon flavor, and none of the acid. And lemongrass is soooo good for you!!Akanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513632434353119491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-32178056929941164202012-08-26T18:21:21.233-07:002012-08-26T18:21:21.233-07:00That was a day of rest??? lol Be careful falling....That was a day of rest??? lol Be careful falling. You will end up in the emergency room looking like I did about a month ago! Gardening can be dangerous! When you dry your herbs, do you use the dehydrator. In what ways do you use them? Soups?

I hope by now it has reached southern Illinois.

It didn't even get to 70. I spent it outside weeding the garden and now I can barely move, I'm so tired! I simply cannot imagine that kind of heat. My blood has gotten so thick living here in the Pacific Northwest that just reading about your heat and humidity, I broke out in a sweat! :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-47346753184459521002012-08-26T16:35:17.850-07:002012-08-26T16:35:17.850-07:00I'd be just dying without the AC.

With as busy as you have been in July and early August I can see why you'd want to just collapse for a while. ;)<br /><br />I pray you get some good rain and the temps drop! Ours are climbing again here, too, but until Tuesday it is still supposed to be cool at night. Then they're talking warm nights, too, and 90s again. *sigh* <br /><br />Try to stay cool!! Have a good week. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448246538491495908.post-88807888880846405602012-08-26T16:01:29.822-07:002012-08-26T16:01:29.822-07:00Wishing you a long, steady but not flooding rain. ...Wishing you a long, steady but not flooding rain.
