RE: Forgotten Plants | 6 Perennial Vegetables Bought With Steem Planted!

in #ecotrain7 years ago

I've been meaning to get my new trees to pose for some photos, which I can then turn into another good Steemit post (and stall on planting them). :D

Catnip - I've only ever had one cat who actually wasn't indifferent to it. Found him curled up asleep in the flowerpot the stuff was planted in, lol. I feel like all the other cats have been genetic freaks because they haven't gone mad over the stuff!

Do you grow sunflowers, and harvest the seeds for use in cooking? I am looking for hulling & storage tips, because last year's attempt wasn't successful and I hate seeing a harvest go to waste.

Sort:  

Hmmm we haven’t used the seeds from our sunnies for cooking, but Ini does use them often for growing microgreens! That’s an easy way to get them to pop out of their own shells lol oddly enough we’re just now seeing some sunflower volunteers from plants from last year. Kind of exciting, but sorry I can’t be of help here. That’s a great idea; to use them in cooking!!

Hilarious about your cat in the pot! My cat wasn’t interested til she got a bit older, I thought she must be one of these anomalies of which you speak 😉 hehe it is kinda weird when they’re not into it. We’re like their parent drug pushers- what?! You aren’t into catnip?! lol

Looking forward to your posed fruit trees. Fingers crossed that they consent to a photo shoot! Xo

The way the weather has been behaving, it'll be the Swimsuit & Snorkel edition of Fruit Tree Monthly. :D

Hahaha 🎉🤪🎉
