I got tired of people cutting the corner of our yard! I decided to create a "cactus corner" for the area. It works! In the space I included spike plants and agave I transplanted from the patio area and a red flower yucca plant. It's taking some time for the cactus plants to really flourish. Only the red flower yucca has substantial growth. I don't worry with the rest. I know they're there if no one else does....yet. New Editions are a few salvia plants. I had to plant those because regardless of the cactus being visible, I would still see kids cutting through, making a path AROUND the cactus area. I haven't noticed an ongoing problem recently with people cutting the corner through our yard and notice other residences with cactus corners. Do you plan to create one or something similar at the corner of your yard?
Why not pair fruit with herbs? Why not grill them? Growing up, I used to listen to my Mom's records often. So, when I hear 'peaches & herb' I can't help but to remember the 1960s duo and their hit "Reunited". I came up with this grilled creation and dedicate it to 'Peaches & Herb'. GRILLED PEACHES & HERB INGREDIENTS :6-7 peaches (real peaches, not nectarines), 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 1/4 c. brown sugar (dark brown, light brown, it doesn't matter...just brown sugar), fresh lemon thyme sprig or 1 tbsp. (dry should be okay since the liquid from the peach will reconstitute the dryness) TOOLS & EQUIPMENT : knife, foil, grill YIELDS : approximately 5 cups STEPS : Rinse peaches Wash the fresh herb. See blog of "How to wash fresh herbs" Layer the ingredients, peaches first, in a foil pouch. See blog of "How to Create a Foil Pouch" Grill for 30-45 minut
