Fall Planting, Cooking and Decorating 2023

Omg Never seen bulbs that big gorgeous!

I've been making my own homegrown pesto for several years, and it is always bright green, and I have never blanched the basil. I just wash it and put it in the salad spinner to get all the excess water out. Then, just like you, I put all my ingredients in a food processor, but I freeze it in ice cube trays! After the cubes are frozen, I put the cubes in freezer bags to store for the winter. I also never put salt in mine, and I, too, use walnuts! So you don't have to blanch the basil, which I think is just a non necessary step. I really do like the cooking parts of your videos 😍

A 💡 lightbulb moment for me... Those of us that live near the beach can use shells in lieu of bark with our plastic planters. I'm going to try this!! Thank you for the inspiration, Linda! 😊

[@jeanking4172]

Yes! I’m retired now but when I was working there were a few girls and we had an amaryllis race every year. It was always so much fun and a great way to start the Christmas season.

Love Linda Vater!

I had a contest with my grandson not only did he win (age 10) he got it to re-broom. Let me tell ya, Legos are expensive. 😢 So much fun, and a beautiful tradition.

It’s always fun to have indoor projects this time of year. I planted a few of the paperwhites I purchased from Colorblends today. I’m staggering the planting of the bulbs to have them throughout the holiday season.

Years ago, my mom bought me and my sisters, Amaryllis bulbs...the 4 of us, including mom, had a race to see whose bloomed first...can't remember who won, but we had fun!

[@maryeliason1504]

Basil is luscious & fragrant. I sometimes like pesto without parmesan & without nuts. Just green basil + garlic & EVOO. CHOICES.

[@karenlehn2351]

One of my favorite ways to use Basil Pesto is, with thin spaghetti w/ Shrimp/ fresh Parma

[@lorraineclark7455]

I love floral arrangements for the holidays. Thx

[@susanwelch2237]

You are full of wonderful ideas for decorating!!! Love watching your videos!

[@deborahhopkins7763]

Your bark pots are beautiful. Can’t wait to see your beautiful blooms. I bought some Amaryllis bulbs and paper whites this past weekend. I’m looking forward to getting mine planted.

[@Nnxex40]

So beautiful linda❤

[@soniewhitten4844]

enjoyed video. thank you for sharing.

[@karenlehn2351]

Hi Linda! I have found that, Amaryllis bulbs,tend to put out roots faster,from rooting with water. I use a bulb vase!

[@sarahmarti141]

Interesting note for everybody…I just learned this recently. It’s much better to grate your own cheese than buying pre-grated (even though it’s so much easier?). In order to keep the grated cheese from sticking together, manufacturers add cellulose a.k.a. sawdust in the cheese. Now that I know that, I’m not buying it anymore. Lol.

[@trisha3338]

They might do that at some stores but Trader Joe's grated cheese is just grated cheese.

[@cherylthepearl827]

I planted my first amaryllis about 4 days ago that arrived from QVC. Often I get the wax bulbs but this year decided to plant mine. Thanks for sharing.

[@Spondennysgarden7b]

Hi Leah🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@marystarnessouthwind4010]

If you soak the roots for about 15 hours they will bloom faster for you.

[@lindalee8040]

I’m in. I’ll send photo tomorrow.

[@sandykoenig1666]

Have I missed something, is Leah no longer with you Linda? Never mind, I heard her and saw her hands getting the amaryllis bulbs. Thank goodness. I love the idea of making some pesto.

[@kimirvine6310]

Linda , where can I find the gold wall lamps you have over your kitchen picture?

[@Rhon48]

I'm pondering how those knives are hanging on to your cutting board.

[@shawnavordokas4539]

The shirt and the rug… hope this is the correct video !!l 😆

[@danielamercol9884]

I could not find the link to the tea towel… could someone let me know where to look for it. Thanks in advance

[@DH-qz2so]

This video is from Last Year....the towels are not available anymore.

[@danielamercol9884]

@ oh !!! Didn’t even notice that! Thanks so much for letting me know.

[@mariadoyle2368]

aaagh Stewart you didn't add the link to the bark tutorial. It's ok, I guess I can wing it.

[@nancyalban6023]

The 2 items are your blue flannel shirt, and the black & beige "Jill Sharpish" rug. 😊

[@shawnavordokas4539]

I still feel I should get honorable mention 🤣

[@janeb4236]

Did I miss something!? Is Leah back??

[@cyndiallen2097]

I think this video was from last year.

[@KWest-v3h]

I think it was filmed closer to Halloween when Leah was still working with Linda and Stewart.

[@SueB-y7l]

I think this video is from a year ago. Linda mentioned having redos on Mondays.

[@DH-qz2so]

This video is from 2023, as noted in the Thumbnail.

[@jmw23333]

Just noticed this is an old video.

[@-Beauty-at-Home-]

Has Leah gone away? Haven’t seen her lately.

[@DH-qz2so]

She got a job offer and has moved on.

[@cathykirkmcrae7727]

I don't understand the need to blanche the basil.....raw is just as good and you can skip that step.

[@phyllishazlewood700]

Where is Leah? I miss her.

[@DH-qz2so]

She got a job offer and has moved on.

[@phyllishazlewood700]

@ So sad. I miss her. She was a doll.

[@marywhitfield7553]

Is Leah back????? Or is this 2023??

[@DH-qz2so]

Replay from 2023

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Will you please label the videos when they are repeats? I work very long hours and don’t get a lot of free time and I already watched this a year ago. Labeling them just shows respect for everyone’s time.

[@Crsk1821]

It says 2023 on it.
