    You must be very careful using horse manure. "green" (fresh) manure can easily burn young roots. My reccomendation would be to use at least year old and spread over the ground at the end pf season and plow under in the spring. That is if you don't do a cover crop! The manure tea will help...

    The two chutney recipes sound nice as well! We always end up throwing out a lot of zukes and squash because of the surplus of veggies. I am so grateful for the idea and recipes.

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    I gave mine some corn on the cob and zucchini sliced thin! I swear they are 1/2 pig! Didn't take them long at all to eat every last bit.

    No it isn't at all like mint. Wish I could post pics mine is in full bloom! The grow very tall and bloom an extremely fragrant spikey looking bloom. They are stunning! I knew they were used in tea, however the jelly is new to me. A friend grows them for medicinal purposes. Never asked what...

    In my small town they only carry the powdered pectin. So that recipe would be wonderful! Thank you so much, and I'm sure the IL's will be grateful too!
