The garden planning sounds great! Also your salad must have been very good. I love salads. And I really love garbanzo beans. Hope your day was pleasant.

I need to make my own extracts as well. Just no room here to do it.

Re: The first time I ever heard of making your own flavorings using vodka
Pat, the reason I started making my own extracts was that it's so expensive in the store. Once I made my first batch and found out how good homemade really is and it's the only way I will ever make them. There were times during the pandemic that I couldn't find vanilla extract and I started doing some research and discovered it wasn't hard to make. It was really a blessing to come across homemade extracts. My next batch will be almond extract and I know it's going to be as good as the vanilla. As far as the vodka goes I've never been a drinker so using the alcohol is fine with me. My extracts are the one good thing that came out of the pandemic.

Re: Good morning.
Sassy, I like putting Romaine in my salad too. Bacon is so good in a salad along with mushrooms but I didn't use them yesterday. Roy adds Miracle Grow to everything. It really does give the plants a head start.

Re:
FSI, I know we are ready for spring and for gardening. I can't wait and I will be bringing out my Gnomes for the spring and summer. Sgt. Mulberry will be arriving back in town soon, his winter vacation is over.

was in your recent blogs. If I were a drinking woman I'd probably think that was a waste of good vodka. Back when I was a kid, 70 or 75 years ago, mom used to flavor things with vanilla beans, opening them and scraping the seeds and soft centers from them. She baked a chocolate cake once and added ground up mint leaves - heavenly.

Good morning.
John and I love salad. We have it about once a week. I usually make mine with Romaine, Raddichio, and Arugala. We add bacon, shredded cheese, crumbled hard-boiled eggs, broccoli, and sliced mushrooms. Yum! Roy is right about Burpee seeds. I also use Miracle Grow in my soil to give the veggies and flowers a head start.
