Our June-bearing strawberry patch is done for the year. The berries needed to be picked every day for about 3 weeks or so. We put some away in the freezer – bagged a few for future smoothies, sliced and lightly sugared some for future short cakes or pies and made a couple jars of jam. The best part of having backyard berries is eating them fresh every day. But have you ever wished for something just a little bit more than fresh fruit for dessert but no time...

As usual, I’m putting too much time on the road and not enough time in the garden. Flower and garden shows and other trade shows on weekends throughout the spring and early summer have kept me from where I’d rather be. I planted a bed of sweet corn on June 7th. That’s a lot later than recommended, but I’ve been much later than that before and still had a fine harvest. I normally plant two beds of different varieties, but this year I was...

I just love the Austin roses. # Posted By Mr....

Asparagus Biscuit Loaf Following is my vegetarian version of a Tuna Biscuit Ring recipe that I cut out of a Gold Medal Flour bag almost 40 years ago. I’ve served it a lot over the years sometimes using salmon. I stopped making it into a ring shape because it was almost always lopsided though very interesting! When I managed to shape it just right it was quite the centerpiece on the table. I also cut back on tuna, though I love it, because of the mercury...
