You might be a ....

A Grass to Gardens Fan if you are muttering "Die Grass Die" to the grass you are trying to hoe and handtill from your front lawn.

So I won third place in the Holland Bulb recipe contest:
http://www.bulbblog.com/3rd-place-winning-recipes/


I won 25 buckaroos, which are now coming in the form of White Clematis, a Francoise Ortegat Peony, and Columbines to join the creeping thyme and Pilgrim Cranberry creepers for the front lawn.

A Scavenge Gardener if your husband sauteed Dandelion greens, you hunt for fiddleheads and have stared down at weeds while walking hand-in-hand with your hubby, looking for purslane in the past year.

Make the recipe at the previous link and here, from Food and Wine Magazine.


The ultimate recycler/Portandia Fan, if your husband jokes,
"I see you pickled the {torn} mat to the dismantled trampoline" because your are using it around a tree to choke out the poison ivy.


In the clip below, they pickled the unsold Farmer's Market cukes.
Here's what I've been pickling:
1. The stems to broccoli.
 See this Wegman's link for some great Japanese pickling recipes.
2. Five-year aged Garlic Heads with peppercorns, balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar and sugar.



Check out the humor of pickling all veggies and food, as well as CD cases. Warning about the ending!
