I keep wondering about using the edibles in teas or something, but haven't done more than nibble on a leaf of miner's lettuce as yet.Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294472166693008328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935276782286888605.post-83850044577776686322010-01-25T16:14:51.399-08:002010-01-25T16:14:51.399-08:00@christine: A friend of mine who is my mentor gard...@christine: A friend of mine who is my mentor gardener was shocked at how well my columbine did in back. I'm not sure what my secret with the columbines in back was, but I dug in a lot of compost before planting them, planted them under our big, old lemon tree and then sprinkled them every 2 or 3 days overhead with a hose, if I remembered. They also went through dryspells where I forgot to water. They bloomed 4 times the first year. Huge spectacular stalks. The constant overhead sprinkle also seemed to make a lot of the seedlings hang through our worst heat in the summer.<br />@curbstonevalleyfarm: my neighbor's ribes sanguineum is doing very little as well. This ribes has been very happy and now is fairly close to a drain spout from the roof so is getting a little extra water I think.bradziohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15159166125768562973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935276782286888605.post-73583959316883253242010-01-25T15:08:44.969-08:002010-01-25T15:08:44.969-08:00I'm just plain jealous...our Ribes sanguineum ...I'm just plain jealous...our Ribes sanguineum is only at leaf stage!
