Peach Pie
We just got 10 pounds of local peaches. This recipe turned out great. It is a keeper! Peach Pie Double piecrust (store-bought or homemade - this is the one I use ) 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 5 cups sliced peaches (peeled) 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon butter 2-3 teaspoons lemon juice 1 egg (whisked) (to be used for brushing the crust before baking) Prepare pie crusts. Preheat oven to 400. Combine the two sugars in a bowl. Add the peaches and toss. Cover and let stand for about 1 hour. Drain the peaches and reserve the juice. In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Over low heat, slowly add the reserved peach juice and stir constantly, about 2 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and add the butter and lemon juice. Stir until the butter has melted. Pour into the crust and top with the second crust. Brush the top with egg wash and make small slits with a sharp ...
I had some come up I suppose from a previous owner. I didn't know what they were at first. Thank goodness I didn't chop them down before I figured it out! They are so delicate-looking and beautiful!

So Beautiful! I have some that mysteriously appeared a couple of years ago. I have absolutely no idea whence they came. We have lived here almost twenty years, maybe it was the Garden Fairy:)
ReplyDeleteThey do have a tendency to pop up in odd places. I'm not sure how they do that.
ReplyDeletePretty photo, Phillip--they provide fabulous color, don't they? We threw some away by mistake once (digging a bed in spring)--the dirt we moved in May (heavy clay) was alive with flowers in October.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. I don't beleive they grow in zone 6 which is where I am located. I have never seen them any place around here. I would surely have them if they did grow here.
ReplyDeleteI was just talking about trying these, so I appreciate your post and photos. Thanks, Cameron
ReplyDeletei always enjoy reading your posts...even if it creates a little envy on my part!
ReplyDeleteAlso...very handsome containers that you designed! Have you ever heard/seen Rita Randolph speak or visited her family's nursery in Jackson, TN...she specializes in containers and is a total hoot to talk to...passionate and enjoyable. There are some good pics on their web site, randolphsgreenhouses dot com if you interested.
Congratulations on those beautiful combinations...i look forward to seeing what you come up with for this new season.
I went and photographed some my neighbor has. They are so pretty and look so delicate that you think they would need rich soil, but hers are planted in red sand.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great addition for the fall garden.
I have not seen these here.
Thanks for showcasing such an interesting plant.
Best,
Philip
Those are gorgeous, that red is a knock out. I had some when I lived in Alabama and loved them.

Hey, hey Phillip! ;0) I did not use to care for lycoris radiata, but this year for some reason, I have become fascinated with them! Randy dug up a majority of ours by the driveway to trade off for other plants, etc. I see these growing here, there and everywhere, but not for long. I am going to carry a spade in the trunk of my car and small box and when I see these lil' beauties growing somewhere haphazard, they're going in my trunk to come home with me!!
ReplyDeleteI just found out what these were yesterday. So many people call them naked ladies around here, thats what I thought they were, but now I know! I love your flowers you did downtown, they are beautiful! I live in Sheffield and am trying to get my flowers going. Mandy
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, thanks for the info on these. I have the pink ones and just ordered a pot on one, not cheap either from plant delights. It has foliage showing now, a good sign. I hope it will multiply for a good show later. I also ordered some oxblood lilies from southern bulb company but they haven't arrived yet. They are also called schoolhouse lilies and hurricane lilies, just like the spiders. I have read that extra water is what makes them pop up, could that be true?

That is quite the cluster of spiders there! They look so wonderful and bright. I bet they glow...
ReplyDeleteHey there Phillip,
ReplyDeleteI came to a screeching halt and backed up a road over some Naked Ladies last week. No one has lived in that house since I moved to this state and there they were shocking red beauties in the unmowed grass. Had I a shovel, they would have been relocated!
In answer to your question on my new not long ago ... and oh so not current blog - yes Lost In The flowers is replacing Guilty Gardener.
I have been so busy writing to earn a living I have just fallen so behind on everything else I was once on top of. I hope to get everything under control again soon. Don't loose faith. In the meantime, you can read some of my more boring writing at http://id-theft-prevention.org/Identity-Theft-Crimes.html. The majority of content on this site was written by non other than moi.
Have a great day,

Lost In The Flowers
Gorgeous. I have some passalong from my dad and it's the first year so I think I may not get much. But I'm looking forward to more in the future.
ReplyDeleteThese flowers always make me smile, they are my grandmother's favorite flower and as a young girl I would always pick a large bunch of them. I would love to plant tons of them in my yard. What a beautiful photo of the spiders, you don't often see these but they are so interesting.
