Swapping Huckleberries
Himalayan Honeysuckle ( Vaccinium glauco album) Himalayan Honeysuckle ( Vaccinium glauco album) has been an attractive feature along our north-facing foundation since I planted it in 2016. You will have to take my word for it since I cannot locate a photo although I know one exists somewhere in the realm of the Internet or floating on a cloud somewhere. I did locate a photo of how it looked when it was first planted - It took a few years to fill out but it did so nicely to an attractive mound about 2 feet high by 3 feet wide. Last year, it started to look bad.

ReplyDeleteSince it is too cold to be outside for very long, staying inside and munching on these cookies sounds great. I am just getting ready to head out to the grocery store, and I will buy the ingredients for these cookies and will make them this afternoon. I have tried some of your other recipes, and they were wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
