Mike,
So glad I was able to prepare a good cup of tea for you.

Glad to see a CSA Zoo. I was a member of a CSA in Charlottesville VA before moving to Gainesville (1998-2000) and am now a member of Plowshares in Gainesville. I LOVE it. I think what I like best is the relief from decision making and the challenge…

I'd like to invite you to be my friend and also to join my new group, Environmental Zoo, where you can share your concerns, ideas, solutions, or anything else you'd like to share. I used to do a lot of canning and freezing of fruits and vege's especially in Colorado where I had a huge garden and there were lotz of fruit orchards. I just checked out your discussion on freezing greens. Wish I could garden again.

If you're craving fresh greens and horrifed by supermarket prices, why not grow your own? Nothing tastes fresher and sweeter than a spring salad just picked from your own windowsill or garden.The best time to harvest Mesclun is early in the morning before the sun is high; heat causes wilting. Start harvesting when the greens are two inches long, never letting them get more than six inches tall; use scissors to snip them off just above the growing crowns (about one inch above the soil level). This is called the cut-and-come-again method because the crop will grow back; if you water and lightly fertilize after harvesting, the greens should be ready for harvest again soon.What Is Kombucha?
Kombucha is a living health drink made by fermenting tea and sugar with the kombucha culture. The result can taste like something between sparkling apple cider and champagne, depending on what kind of tea you use. It's not what you'd imagine fermented tea to taste like.Masticating Juicer
A masticating juicer is the answer to every juicing problem. Because it operates on the mastication process, this type of juicer chews the fibers and breaks up the cells of vegetables and fruits. This give you more fiber, enzymes, vitamins and trace minerals. This all results in the darker, richer color of the juice and a sweeter, richer more full-bodied flavor.Kennedy Space Center Hotels - Find hotels near Kennedy Space Center, FL!
