Guest guest Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Hello all, I just wanted to contribute this piece of information regarding the acquisition of different varieties of roses: My little shop in on the grounds of a well known nursery in the austin area called It's About Thyme. In addition to carrying herbs which are very hard to find (allspice trees, dittany of crete to name just a couple), they also carry over 130 varieties of antique and old fashioned roses. The staff is very knowledgable and they do a fair amount of mail orders. Their phone number is 512-280-1192, and the web site is: www.itsaboutthyme.com. Email them at itsaboutthymegc.

Good one Butch! Gotta go out shoot me an elk or a buffalo > right now so I can make me some Pemmican. What do I do with the rest > of the beastie after I've taken out the gut? ROFLMAO!! Use the rib bones to strengthen your Osage Orange bow .. or to build a back rest .. or a baby cradle. Use the hair to stuff pillows and your riding saddle. The brains are for tanning .. the horns for spoons .. the tongue is fantastic chow .. the tail makes a great fly swatter .. the hide is for a lodge covering and winter moccasins .. the stomach makes a great water bag, etc. The rest of the smaller intestines (or the boudins) are for sausages or chitlins. Eat the liver immediately, raw, and sprinkle it with a bit of gall .. makes some great eating. I didn't tell it all cause Neysa done done that below. > Well that should be obvious Kathleen! If you get a BUffalo, you cook > the hump for dinner. The rest of the meat you make jerky out of. That's right .. hump and tongue are the best part .. that is, after the liver and gall. > You separate the sinews for sewing and beading. The hooves make glue. Yep. > Smaller bones make needles and awls. As Butch suggested, you brain > tan the hide (for robes, moccasin soles, teepee panels, etc.) > Teeth make good jewelry, horns can be used for various things > including carrying black powder or other things. Yep .. and Elk teeth are a great trade item. Especially for men cause one can trade a couple'a handfulls for a Winter woman to do the water and wood fetching, cooking, and sewing during the hard months. Them wimmens like to decorate their clothes with Elk teeth. > There are more things to do with the remainder but I think you get the > idea. LOLOLOLOL Right .. less'n you be a white person whut ain't a mountain man. Then you kill the buffalo, skin it, cut out the tongue .. and leave the rest for the buzzards and coyotes. ;-( > Hugs > Neysa And Kathleen ... > > If you get a Buffalo > > Actually Neysa, I'd rather go for the Elk! They taste better! ROFL! Gotta be a young Elk .. otherwise they be tough. Last time I visited Colorado I stopped by and Chris and I went to a western restaurant. I had Buffalo leg bones .. fulla marrow .. and some buffalo meat. She had the Elk steak. We tried both and she liked my buffalo better. ;-9 > Cheers! > Kathleen Petrides > The Woobey Queen > Woobeys: The Loving Touch Therapeutic Pillow > http://www.woobeyworld.com Y'all keep smiling, Butch :-) http://www.AV-AT.com ______________________ ______________________ Message: 3 Wed, 18 Jun 2003 15:01:06 EDT crwilm Re: LEMON VERBENA Hello what are some use for lemon verbena?
