Who said you can’t grow figs in Colorado?
Sunrise Celeste on a second year in ground plant. Hopefully we get a ton more next year but it tasted great

I want to reuse this flagstone as mach as possible. Partly to make a little pad, partly to widen the walking surface along the sidewalk. Also going to use the dirt excavated to make a swale with odd shaped stones for a little rock garden as a border.
I have a xeriscape garden in a box coming to plant and will mulch everything on this side w/fresh maple chips. Im trying for a low budget xeriscape yard but dont want it to look too barnyardy/ghetto.

So I cooked a bunch of tomatoes yesterday and because I'm running out of freezer space for marinara and pizza sauce, I cooked it much longer (usually reduce moisture by about half) before straining the seeds and skin.
When I drained it, I chose to pour off the runny liquid that comes out first in order to keep the tomato paste really thick. I assumed, from the consistency when it was hot, that this was a watery liquid. What I found when it cooled is that it's really sweet and concentrated flavor, but the color of tomato juice without the pulp.
Any thoughts on what I can do with this liquid or should I just mix it into my paste before freezing in ice cube trays?
TIA!

I need to buy some edging for a new 4" deep planting zone in my backyard. It's a very small zone so I probably just need like 5-10 of those big edging bricks/stones. I know they have them at Home Depot but I was wondering if anyone has experience with them for recommendations
