Zinnias are of the easiest annuals to grow from seed, are heavy bloomers, and come in a variety of colors and sizes from which to choose. Since they don’t like to be transplanted, simply sow directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Colorful fusia zinnia perfect for a summer garden. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

It’s that time of year when I start taking stock of how the garden performed this year and what I need to change, adjust, adapt, and amend.  While good soil, sunshine, and water are necessities of a successful garden, one thing that’s often an … [Read more...]

February 3, 2015 by Brett Youmans 6 Comments

The secret to growing herbs indoors is simple: Ample sunlight, constant pruning, and not too much water. Many home cooks grow herbs indoors during the winter months when the garden is hibernating, but you can grow herbs inside any time of year by following a few easy tips.

If you're like me, this time of year I'm craving anything green and living.  After a couple of months now of snow and grey sludge, I'm ready for spring.  I know some of you are lucky enough to live in warmer climates and if this keeps up much longer, … [Read more...]

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
