My winter gardening post

I am now into cactus, so there isn't much to do for cactus in the winter.

I let the poor things rest. I DON'T water them. They grow very slowly if at all in the winter. I have a few blooms still but not too many. The rains of winter provide all the water they need. It kills me not to water them, but they don't need it. I have a terrible habit of watering my plants. That is sad part of winter, no blooms, or watering, or feeding, or trimming. Spring will be here soon. Check out some of my blooms this year. Click Here

So, with little to do, I clean the yard, and wait til spring.... whimper. I do have a few plants that I bring inside. I have a plumeria that doens't like cold. I will bring it in soon. Until then I Tweet, on Twitter about spring.

OK, it is recipe time. I know, it doesn't make sense on a gardening page. But, gardeners get hungry too!

My Favorite Recipe of all time.

Slow Cooker Pork Ribs.

3 ingredients

3-4 TSBP Smokey Mesquite Seasoning. (I prefer Weber brand)
1 pork rib section. (10-15 ribs)
1 bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce

On a large ovensafe brownie, cookie sheet lay the ribs meaty side up.
Generously cover entire top of ribs with mesquite seasoning.
Flip over to boney side, repeat seasoning. Leave boney side of rib rack facing up.

Heat oven to 375 degrees
Place ribs in oven for 30 minutes.
Take ribs out of oven and flip rib rack to meaty side up.
Roast in oven 15-20 minutes longer.
Remove from oven.
With great care, (the ribs will be very hot and slipery) separate/cut ribs into 2 rib segments and place them into a slow cooker set on high.

Pour entire bottle of BBQ sauce over ribs. Add a little water to the slow cooker. This helps the ribs stay moist.

Let cook for 4 hours or until you can't stand it one second more.
Your house will smell awesome.
Serve with tons of napkins.
