		<title>Melons!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My parents grow large, tasty, numerous melons.  I grow nothing of the sort.  Of course, they live in Idaho and have gloriously long, hot summers and I live in the Willamette Valley (mild summers, mild winters and a whole lot of rain).  FINALLY, (after years of futility) I was successful in my mission to grow [...]]]></description>

		<title>6/3/09 What&#8217;s Blooming?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Front Beds

The Lamium, Penstemon, and foxglove is blooming and looks good.  This is a limited time look.  After the blooms fade, the Lamium gets patchy, the Penstemon and Digitalis brown and die &#8211; big YUCK!  The newer Lamium still looks good into September but I&#8217;m sure that won&#8217;t last.

The daffodils and tulips are dying back [...]]]></description>

		<title>July Harvest Foods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Pesto!  I tried many pesto recipes this year, and my favorite? A very nutty and cheesy pesto with beautiful color and a splash of wine.  The recipe goes something like this:
2 cup (packed tightly) basil leaves
Enough olive oil to get it to the consistency you want (probably at least 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup of wine (pour [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Strawberries fresh from the garden, straight to&#8230;

&#8230;yummy desserts and&#8230;

&#8230;freezer jam.  I so love this jam, the strawberry flavor really shines and the sugar (compared to canning) is minimal (4 cups fruit to 1 &#38; 1/2 cups sugar).  The only pectin I&#8217;ve ever found that uses this little sugar is Ball&#8217;s No Cook Freezer Jam packets [...]]]></description>

		<title>What to do with Leeks?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What would you do if you were faced with an enormous quantity of leeks?  I have pounds and pounds of them.  They seem to grow everywhere, in my yard, in my veggie garden, in the flowerbeds&#8230;and they multiply!!  I cannot ever imagine using all of them (or even most of them!).

 I&#8217;d love to know [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Front Beds

The front bed is overgrown with the dying tulip and daffodil greens.  I am looking for ideas to hide it.  I&#8217;d like to cover it with something big, leafy, and with purple foliage.

The Japanese maple finally got its first haircut of the year.
