I've heard so much about mixing honey and garlic but never had the nerve to try it. Now that I grow my own garlic I figured I'd give it a try....
When we have a strenuous day of work outside, I make a bowl of chili with scrambled eggs and shredded cheddar cheese on top. It's a power-meal! I...
@Daniel W - I'm not sure yet. This past season was the first time I grew shallots. I actually planted them in March of this year. This autumn...
@Daniel W - The seeds were "Zebrune Shallots." The sets I bought last year were a general French shallot. I don't know the variety. I'll most...
