Granny's gone and done it again

My bro had a manzanita tree (I think) when he lived in Tucson. It dropped little yellow blossoms that carpeted the area beneath it. Then ants would come and carry them away to their nests. The blossoms would appear to be marching, marching away, and by the end of the day not one was to be seen. Wait, not manzanita. That wood you smoke chicken with, a barbecue wood ... help me out, somebody.

Hickory, mesquite, briarwood?

Pert beat me to it. Mesquite!

Hoping it will be a great addition for photo shoots. Still have to transplant it, but hoping it grows nicely. Not sure what type it is...it was in the pre-annual section.

Coreopsis. Some people call it tickseed, but I don't like that name. Gives me the heebie-jeebies!

Do you pack raw veggies into the jars? Do you add seasonings? This sounds so good!

Yes, raw veggies, salt, water
