    Grow Your Own Round-up #23

    Jan 2, 2009 · Modified: Sep 27, 2016 by Andrea · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads ·

    Grow Your Own logo, green leafSome of us have multiple feet of snow in our yards, some of us have cool or cold temperatures, and some of us have beautiful early summer weather. No matter the weather, many of us are still growing our own herbs and vegetables or gathering, hunting, and foraging.

    Thanks to everyone who participated this round, the last of 2008, and during a very busy month for many people. We had six participants from two countries, and we cooked with our homegrown fennel, green onions, olive oil, soybeans, lemons, parsley, thyme, oregano, and sage.

    If you are new to Grow Your Own, visit the Grow Your Own page to learn more about the event. I am the host for January, and the deadline for entries is January 30th. I will post the round-up a few days later. (This is a change from the regular biweekly schedule.) Please send your entries to andreasrecipesgyo AT gmail DOT com. I’m booking hosts for 2009, and anyone who has participated in GYO at least once is eligible to host, so let me know if you are interested. We do have a Flickr photo group, as well, so let me know if you wish to join.

    And now for the round-up! Click the images to visit the posts. Happy New Year!

      Braised, homegrown fennel sounds terrific! Great roundup, Andrea!

      I'm definitely jealous of those who have their own homegrown fennel or Meyer lemons, especially at this time of year!

      Thanks for doing the roundup, and including our post, even though I turned it in a few minutes late.

      @Kalyn - oh shoot, I forgot to send in my WHB entry!

        Thanks for joining us again Rachel.
        Kalyn, I covet a Meyer lemon tree. May have to try it indoors this year.
        Nate, no problem. Thanks for joining in.
