I'd love to grow veggies. I tried a few times with dismal results. My property just doesn't get enough sunshine.
I'm willing to bet your issue is more soil related than sunshine.
I don't know. A few years ago I built raised beds, used top quality soil, peat, bagged compost, etc.

I have a lot of trees.
Could be a combination of both soil and sun. Google your county ag extension or master gardener to see if they offer soil testing.

Yeah most plants don't need THAT much sun.

I'll have to check it out this spring and maybe give it another go.

For reference, I don't have any spot on my 3/4 acre of land that gets more than 2 hours of full sun once the leaves are out. Aside from part of my roof and deck. ;)

I get all the sun in the world in my garden and still have a hard time growing. It's the soil

Yeah, that’s definitely an issue

We have two beds in the southwest corner of our yard, and are shaded by the rear fence and citrus trees. We have a table bed for herbs along the side of the house, and a potted chile plant.

Might be tough but I'd try. Look for things that don't like full sun.

It's a lot of work but have you tried buckets? You could move them around.

We're having some friends over tonight for a NOLA-themed thing. I eyeballed the rice for jambalaya, and I seriously overdid it. We're gonna be eating jambalaya for a week. Shyster, I inadvertently tried your thing!

Does anyone have a good recipe for Asian-inspired wings (not too hot) that doesn't require honey?

A mix of 5 spice and cayenne is our go to. Dipping sauce equal parts mayo, sour cream, and plain yogurt, with cilantro for garnish. You can dress them with a couple dashes of fish sauce, too.

You could probably pop into the asian food section of giant eagle and grab a thai peanut sauce, maybe a sweet chili sauce or general tso's sauce. When it comes to asian style sauces, I can play around and try to really have something good, but often times the bottle stuff is better and more consistent for sure.

Like buffalo sauce... I'm going and grabbing franks. I'm not trying to make it myself.

I think someone invited him early on and he declined. There was some heat there on LGP (and honestly, it was a bad look for both sides if I'm being honest) and I think he was just done with message boards at that point.

Costco’s raw organic honey is outstanding. I can’t believe I had been missing out on this place for so long.

I don't mind Sam's but it does seem Costco is so superior. The closest one to me is over an hour away though.

So I made my homemade Detroit-style pizza this weekend. Used seriouseats' recipe. Lloyd's pan. Battistoni pepperoni. Camp Horne GE had brick cheese after all. I also got to use my new proving box.

Next time, I would make sure I had better pepperoni layering. Would also use a combo of brick + mozz + Muenster.

It was damn delicious.

I have no idea how to embed pics because I'm an old lady. Link to pics here:

It was really delicious. Perfect amount of crispiness on the bottom while still being chewy and airy inside.

Great job mama!! dang.

Did you have to season the pan or is it ready to go out of the box?

It's essentially ready to go out of the box. The instructions are kinda weird - they go from "your pan does not need to be seasoned" to "here's how to season your pan" to "DO NOT SEASON THIS PAN". So I didn't season. No trouble getting the pizza out - I just ran my offset spatula around the edge and it slid out fairly easily. Washed up fine after a decent soak. We'll see how it does with future pizzas. :thumb:

Garlic bread was the only one I was sacrilegious on. Snapping spaghetti before you boil? That should be -100
