That Apple Crumb Pie looks spectacular.

What? No recipe?

Post #61 for French APple Pie Recipe. Betty Crocker, no less! :)

For some reason, I can’t figure out the ‘trick’ to post both a photo and a link in the same post. I’ll go look at The HTML Sandbox again, but if you could just tell me, that would be nice! *HINT*

[Jacquerie]

Can’t go wrong w/Zinnia.

I grew 100's along with Black Cherry. The Black Cherry win hands down for overall taste but 100's are a sweet treat. Still have at least 500 on the vine.

Thanks for the tip and thank God for such a good crop. But which cherry tomatoes ripen the soonest?

[Sacajaweau]

They ripen about the same time and just keep on giving.

Last year, I picked and pulled everything on October 4th. I wanted to clean everything up BEFORE the frost hits.

[daniel1212]

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for posting them. Love a city garden.

Glory to God, and for enabling us to have so much to share.

Baked a French Apple Pie with Haralson apples from our tree

Hey that reminds me: Who grows Rhubarb (pie)?

[tubebender]

I have one Rhubarb plant after dividing it in early spring and Lady Bender says she will do a pie with it soon...

[tob2]

I pulled up the spent tomato plants. Have decided to sow lettuce, arugula and mustard seeds.Need to start raking leaves already!

Can we eat the pictures?

If using Firefox, you can just select text and or an image and right click and choose "View selection source" and then you should be able to see (and copy and paste) the coding.

Or just make a link to the page you want to reference, and then for the image, and wrap the whole thing in paragraph tags.

[daniel1212]

However, I myself usually just provide the page address if the source is not really what i want to direct people to as is the case with the "liberated" liberal (the older lady in the sleeveless blouse) providing the recipe, whose page advocates "Organic Consumer Association – Campaigning for health, justice, and sustainability Bernie Sanders' Green New Deal is a Game-Changer for Food & Farming...As president, Bernie Sanders will boldly embrace the moral imperative of addressing the climate crisis and act immediately to mobilize millions of people across the country in support of the Green New Dea...l Beyond the cesspool of the Trump administration and his fascist allies across the globe, powerful winds of rebellion and regeneration are gathering momentum."

But i am, quite sure you did not mean to actually recommend her.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

We have a really nice red Rhubarb plant that’s been here forever. I was afraid we were going to lose her with all of the rain we had this season, which can result in crown rot. She seems to be hanging on, though!

Thanks! I’ll practice! :)

[MomwithHope]

I grew up in south Chicago , the East Side where my Dad had a backyard city garden every year. I was always amazed how he made use of the space and how much food he got out of it. More than enough for our family, and I remember him sending my sister and I up and down the block bringing “bouquets” of lettuce and green onions wrapped in newspaper to the neighbors. And yes all thanks be to God.

[tubebender]

I think Alaska has 20 hours of sunlight this time of the year?

[tubebender]

My daughter & her husband brought me about 3 dozen Brown Turkey figs when they returned to town after camping about 60 miles east of us Sat & Sun

[Liz]

Those turkey brown figs are perfect for this Honey Fig Jam

Just cook the figs down till its jammy with water, some vanilla, maybe cinnamon. Add to honey and mix.

Great over a wheel of Baked Brie served w/ water crackers, fresh fruit, nuts, breads

[tubebender]

Lady Bender made me a Berry Pie this morning and I know not why but the house smells Devine ...
