Plant these thymes between flagstones, along walkways and anywhere you want to grow a low ground cover. Then enjoy the warm spicy scents these thymes release when brushed against or stepped on.

For The Love Of Dandelions 💛💛 How Do You Eat Dandelions

Leave a reply

I was talking with my friend Lynn last week. And she has a field of dandelions ☺️ that she was ready to mow down😨 When she she asked if they were good for anything, I quickly answered “Yes!”

So glad she asked☺️ Lynn runs the popular low-carb blog TravelingLowCarb.com and just so happens dandelion greens are nutritious and low-carb.

In fact, you can eat the entire dandelion plant. Dandelions are native to Eurasia, and were brought over by early settlers who grew them in their gardens as food and herbal.

For all my friends who have dandelions in your gardens (dandelions coming soon to my garden), here’s a few suggestions of what you can do with this popular ‘weed’: Continue reading →

Chives vs Garlic Chives: What is the Difference and More…

Leave a reply

When I brought in a bunch of garlic chives from the garden to make Garlic Chives with Chili Garlic Sauce, my daughter asked me: What’s the difference between chives and garlic chives?

At the moment, my answer to her was that chives are round and hollow and taste of mild onion, whereas garlic chives are flat and taste of mild garlic.

Later I thought I’d elaborate a bit on the differences, as well as similarities between the two plants. And added my cooking notes for these mildly flavoured alliums 🍴 Continue reading →
