Another cold, but bright morning here in The Netherlands.
Not much gardening on the web today.
Making it Grow has uploaded a new episode. Don't think it's much about gardening this week though, judging by the description...
Our special guest is Samantha McDowell from The Clemson Food Safety & Nutrition Team who shows us healthy cooking tips with coconut oil. Our feature segment is a trip to Abingdon Manor in Latta, S.C. where the head chef along with Burundi refugees living in the area create some eggplant dishes.
I'll have to have a look at that cooking video. My husband has been put on a very strict diet and part of it is cooking with coconut oil instead of anything else. It's something I've never used so I might get some good tips. Thanks.
I still can't get the tool bar to click on the little tree but maybe a miracle will happen and I'll figure it out.
Amazing how many useful stuff you can find on the internet.
I hope the video I found yesterday has some useful tips for you.
What a nuisance that you can't get the toolbar to work!
No idea if there is a way to get it to work. I usually visit the forum through my PC, and it always works well for me.
Still cold here, but fortunately no snow yet, and supposed to get warmer during the weekend. Roll on spring!
I hope the heat is bearable in your neck of the woods and that your begonias aren't suffering too much. Mine don't like very hot weather, unless I make sure they are in absolute shade.
Oklahoma Gardening is mainly about turf this week.
This episode covers how to calibrate a seed spreader, steps to over-seed tall fescue, identification of summer and winter weeds in turf areas, establishing Bermudagrass from seed and tips for controlling winter broadleaf weeds.
Interesting to see the old variety Saxa in the picture.Those are dwarf French beans which grow on little bushes, and don't climb, and they are an early variety. I've been growing them for many years to get a small crop quite early in the season, yummie!
A bit late, because the internet disappeared suddenly while I was working.
Scary!!!
And we've got freezing fog here at the moment, brrrr.
Here is today's harvest though.
The Central Texas Gardener has the following...
Most of us start gardening in apartments, condos and rental houses. Get tips for green thumbs on the go with Amanda Moon from It’s About Thyme. On tour at the Sustainable Food Center’s teaching gardens, pick the water-conserving style that suits your organic good taste—even in small spaces. Got fungal disease? Daphne analyzes a troubled mock orange and explains what to do.
Saturday again, and it looks like it's going to be a gorgeous day!
Far less cold than it has been recently here and nice and bright.
Here is today's harvest from the web.

-Former host Ray Campbell gives tips on growing peanuts as well as vegetable and herb container gardening -Katie Layman, intern at the Botanic Garden at OSU, talks about columnar apple trees -Extension horticulture educator Kendra Woodburn talks about rebuilding soil with cover crops
