New Year and new gardening season comes and my new catalogue goes to you. It is a little shorter than usually - not for shortage of items includable (with pain in heart I striped out many names) but this summer I want to rebuild my bulb shed and it will limit my possibilities to harvest bulbs and to work with them. Last summer was very busy year. I rebuilt one of my greenhouses - it was very nervous process due shortage of workers (three teams were changed), I was forced to dig out all bulbs, to change soil - but now working in it is much more comfortable. I and my wife Guna organized for the first time “Open door days” and we had 18 visitors from Britain, arranged programm including lectures, visits of gardens, museum, nature, Opera etc. All visitors were very satisfied with visit. Sorry, this season we can’t to arrange OPEN DOOR DAYS due my lecture tour in North America and expedition plans. But I’m planning repeat such days in future, too. Last season Mrs. Kristl Walek from Canada (Gardens North – Seeds from the world) in her catalogue revealed the fact that I had been bearing in my mind an idea about a book on bulbs and my experience with them.

  • 50 Garlic Soup Or: 50-Ish Feel-Much-Better Garlic Super Soup
    50 Garlic Soup Or: 50-ish Feel-Much-Better Garlic Super Soup www.RoamingRosie.com Ingredients: 5 bulbs of garlic (about 50 cloves) Olive oil 2 Tbsp. coconut oil 1 large Vidalia (sweet) onion, diced 1 tsp. ground black pepper 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper 2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme 4 cups chicken stock 1 cup coconut milk Croutons (optional) Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut top third off of the garlic bulbs. Place on a pan and drizzle with olive oil. Gently cover pan with tented foil and roast until garlic is golden brown and tender, about 45 minutes. In a large saucepot, melt coconut oil (or butter). Add in diced onions, salt, and pepper, and cook over medium until onions are soft and translucent, about 8 or 10 minutes. Squeeze the garlic out of the bulbs into the pot with the onions. This is easier to do once they’ve cooled slightly (not right out of the oven). Add cayenne. And more pepper, if desired. Stir to combine. Stir in the chicken broth and thyme and let simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove pan from heat and using a stick immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. (You can use a traditional blender, too, working in batches, but this step isn’t completely necessary is you don’t have a blender. Or are too sick to be bothered with it.) Stir in coconut milk and bring back to a gentle simmer for a few minutes. Serve warm, sprinkling crusty croutons on top just before eating.

Useful Catalogs & Web Sites……………..27 2 The Welsh Family Forget-Me-Not Gardens Our family has gardened on our property here in Sitka, Alaska since 1984. Sitka is located on the western shore of Baranof Island in a temperate rainforest. The forest is rooted in volcanic ash atop uneven, rocky terrain. Countless hours of soggy labor went into landscaping and developing our garden beds. Finding and growing suitable flower, fruit and vegetable varieties involved lots of trial and error. So far, the outcome of our efforts has been more than favorable. No one has been more surprised and delighted with our success than we are! We are essentially organic gardeners. Our plants are produced with fertilizers of plant or animal origin as opposed to chemically formulated fertilizers and pesticides. Many of the flowers, herbs and vegetables we grow need to be started indoors from seed in February, March and April. We use our own seeds as well as purchased seeds. We use our own soil for the starts as well as locally purchased seed starting soil.
