2 cups of dry red wine

¼ of oil

½ cup of red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons of dry sage

2 cloves of garlic, minced

Combine the ingredients in a blender and food processor. Makes about 2 cups.

Enjoy!

I began growing flowers six years ago; it has been a privilege to experience some of the beauty this planet has to offer.  This odyssey encouraged me to write an eBook, “The Flower Affect”. The book is a personal diary and guide. I identify all of the flowers I have grown and pass along gardening knowledge made simple to help you have a successful growing experience.  I encourage harmony with nature! Please download your copy today at Lulu.com, iBooks, Nook, Kobo and help to create a more beautiful world.

Our featured flower of the month is Delphinium.  It is a member of the Ranunculaceae plant family and is commonly referred to as “alpine delphinium” or “candle larkspur”.  Delphinium thrives in zones three through seven and is a hardy perennial capable of reaching heights of 20 – 30’’.  It is a wonderful plant that has flowers resembling spikes that come in shades of lavender, blue, cream and white. I started my seeds many seasons ago in rich well draining soil and the results have been nothing short of amazing.  Cheers

With spring in full swing it is time to wrap up any last minute planting.  Some perennials are in bloom and it’s not too late to plant flowers or bulbs that will bloom in late summer or early fall.   I hit the jackpot this season! Careful planning yielded a plethora of annuals and perennial flowers. I filled up multiple beds and baskets and grew more seedlings than I could use, gifting many thankful friends and family members with plants.

Cheers
