<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all you gardeners!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We were away for 10 days; came back to find my
peas </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>8 ft tall and out of control (admittedly, I planted
too many). The pea pods are yummy but I remembered also eating the
vines in the past. I went on line to find recipes for the pea vines
and combined two or three. We tried it out on friends last night and it was a
hit. Here's the recipe. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Stir-Fried Pea Vines and pea pods</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 Tbls vegetable oil</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 tsp toasted sesame oil + a few drops
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 Tbls fresh ginger, minced</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2+garlic cloves, finely minced</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1/2 tsp sugar</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 1/2 lbs young pea vines, loosely packed (very
rough estimate)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 cup pea pods, cut on the diagonal into
thirds</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 tsp soy sauce</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2 Tbls oyster sauce</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1-2 Tbls toasted sesame seeds</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Pea vines (or pea shoots) are the tips of the vines
and the top set of leaves of the pea plant. Remove any stems that look
coarse. Prepare the pea vines by rinsing in cold water and patting dry with
paper towels (or soft cotton towel). Keep cold in the refrigerator.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In a large wok or skillet over high heat, heat
oils; add ginger, garlice and sugar. Toss for 1-2 minutes, add shoots and pea
pods, and stir fry for 2-3 minutes or until the leaves soften and are tender.
Add oyster sauce, soy sauce and sesame seeds. Mix. Add a few drops of toasted
sesame oil at the end.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ENJOY!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sooz Appel</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>P.S. I hope we'll share recipes with other for the
bounty we'll be receiving this summer from our gardens. </FONT></DIV>

format=flowed; delsp=yes<BR>> <BR>> I need to dig up many new raspberry
plants over the next couple <BR>> weeks. My experience in the
past with transplanting raspberries mid- <BR>> season is about 70%
survival rate (I have usually put them in pots and <BR>> it's often
been weeks before they've found a new home in the <BR>>
ground.) Contributions would be graciously accepted, but I hate
to <BR>> see them go in the yard waste so if you will grow them and eat
the <BR>> raspberries they produce you are welcome to them. The
name of the <BR>> variety has been lost in time, but they are amazingly
prolific and <BR>> good tasting red raspberries. My 20 ft. row
produces a year's <BR>> abundant supply. I have been growing them
organically for close to 20 <BR>> years.<BR>> <BR>> E-mail me and
we can arrange a time for you to come over and we'll dig <BR>> some up
and by this time next year you will have a raspberry crop <BR>>
ripening.<BR>> <BR>> I now have 2 rows growing and expect to have more
than I can harvest <BR>> so I would also like to offer u-pick
harvesting by appt. during the <BR>> peak season in July. (I also
hate not to harvest every single good <BR>> berry and will not be able
to keep up with picking this year.) I live <BR>> in the
Northgate/Lake City area. They look like they're still a <BR>>
couple of weeks away so if you want to come pick berries in July,
get <BR>> in touch.<BR>> <BR>> Thanks,<BR>> Edith
