Speaker 1 (00:34):
Eight hundred and eight two three eight two five five.
That is our number. Good morning, I am run Wilson,
your personally are boy. Were talking about yardening and of course, uh,
Valentine's Day coming up this Friday is coming Friday, so
it's Valentine's weekend, kind of turning it into a three
day or if you want to be a really really
nice sweet tart and have a three day event. But
(00:55):
whenever we have a Valentine's Day coming up, of course,
it's always great to have the big Heart on with
does everybody loves her? It's time for our you urbally
experience with our ccp cmh Appalachian herbal scholar, maker of
Strange Love Potions and part time.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Witch doctor, but a loving doctor. This week mister will.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Absolutely author Local TV cooking and herbal Expert, the original
Barefoot Gardener, her website about eating dot com ladies and gentlemen,
the One the Only Rita, Nader Hike and Feld Easy Easy.
They're lined up out the hallway today. Can't wait to
(01:38):
hear from you. I thought of you. I thought I
always come think of for you, and Gary and Joe
and all kinds of people when I'm reading stuff But
I thought of you today because I was reading somebody's
that they were going over some gardening things that don't
you don't pay any attention to anymore. And this one
was just for you. You must plant your vegetables and neat rose.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
How that wouldn't be for me maybe, mister Hikenfeld and
mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, the point was you don't have to, is said.
If you're growing crops on a farm, it makes sense
to grow everything in tidy rose because you're using having
machinery to till so harveshire crops, et cetera, et cetera.
But in your own but in your own vegetable backyard garden,
you can decide to lay out in curvedness and however
you want your rose to go, because it's your personal garden,
(02:30):
you know.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And that's true. And the rose you just have a
hoe or a road to till or so. Yeah, it
makes it more interesting. But I do try to make
my rod straight. We've gone over this lots of times.
I just yeah, geographically i'm challenged, and straight line I'm challenged.
But my garden always does very well.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yes, yes, no matter whether it's crookeet or straight, it
doesn't matter. Yes, have you smelled any skunks in your area?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
So no, No, we've been getting a lot of vowles airing.
My neighbor across the street her cat caught it looks
like a bowl, but it had Really I should have
sent you a picture, Keith, almost like a beaver, but
it was a I think it was a bold. But no,
we have not smelled any skunks. Are they coming out
of hiding?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh? Yeah, Valentine's Day?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's why it's a meeting season.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, sure, that's why Peppy Leapew was always on the
Valentine's cards.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh that? How did I miss that?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
How did you miss that? Come on, yeah, I think
I had twice. I have smelled a couple. Actually had
an email from Bob down in Louisiana who said, we're
seeing them everywhere. They've been run over everywhere last month
or so in Louisiana. So there are a couple of
weeks early down there. But yeah, for the most part,
it's amazing. Just all of a sudden, you start to
smell those skunks everywhere because they're out looking for love
(03:55):
in all the wrong places.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Well, I hope they find a bit not on my
little of heaven.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Uh yeah, especially yeah, if you're out walking, well you
don't have a dog out letting the chickens out early
in the morning or whatever. Oh yeah, don't don't want
to surprise him. Do you by chance to get seed
Savers Exchange newsletters?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't get their newsletter, but I believe they have well,
you know, their their catalog. I guess, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
A great one. They had that this week. It was
what's your heirloom tomato name? No kidding, So I put
in the things for you, and you are your tomato.
If you had an heirloom tomato would be Grandma Hikingfeld's
flavor steak butte.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
What a long name, probably taller than I am in
the garden. If I have signed, No, it's.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Actually it would be a determinant. It would be a
small one. Oh okay, Grandpa Wilson's ravishing globemaster.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Now that sounds ravishing. So there they are just read
regular one.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's just yours. It's if you had one, that's what
yours would be called.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh, I see, so you can devise.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You put your age and your name and your last
name and your initials and all that kind of stuff
in there, and then it tells you what it would be,
you know, like you know, like what your bar name
would be, you know, if you're a bar dancer.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Oh yeah, interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
The bar singer like you always wanted to be.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yes in my other life hitting on a piano. Yes.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Talking with Rena Ikenfeld. Her website is about eating dot com.
The recipe this week, which is on our website at
Ryan Wilson online dot com. It's a cheeseburger pizza for
the Big Game tomorrow happens to be the National Pizza Day. Also,
isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I had heard that, and you know, I was torn
between doing something for Valentine's Day or Super Bowl, So
I thought we'll go with super Bowl because we're going
to be talking about a lovely Valentine's so and you've
got it both covered.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like I told Joe, you could take this recipe and
make a hard shaped pie crust pizza pie crust.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah you could.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, so Valentine's Day if you wanted to do it
that way. And I had read through this, but I
forgot because I was asking Joe, remember when Rita did
that thing with the tartar sauce on the well, that's
what this is.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
It's the Big Boy Pizza another name. You know how
trends go. But yeah, and it's delicious. We put it
on the grill sometimes, but basically you just put it
in the oven. The recipes on both of our sides.
It's just got all the good cheeseburger ingredients, beef, garlic,
pizza shell instead of a bun, and tartar sauce of course,
(06:43):
and cheese and lettuce and little dill pickles finely chopped.
It's really really delicious and it's good even at root temperature.
So something fun for the game.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And if you're local you can still use Fresh's tartar
sauce on there.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I know you're going to be able to get that.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, how bad that. I'll bet that that keeps going,
you think.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Because I've been trying to clone it and I'm pretty close,
but haven't gotten that mysterious flavor. But it's it's quite
popular and it's good on French fries and everything, not
just the regular parts.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Absolute Now Dan and I are hunger and heck, m
frish is tartar sauce. Talking with Reno hiking fouled. Of course,
the recipe you can find it on our website at
wrong Listen online dot com. Last week was the game
Day baked onion dip. So you got two things here
that you could do for the big game tomorrow, the
the baked onion dip and the pizza. And by the way,
(07:35):
of course, that recipe came from Dixondale Onion Farm. They're
a newsletter. We got Bruce Fraser coming on after you
to talk about how to grow onions.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You know, I heard that and that onion dip. Just
the picture of it made me really really hungry. And
so he grows thousands of onions. How interesting. And you
know onions talk about Valentine's Day and love and heart
that one of the best things for your heart ever
is to eat onions. So you've got all the bases
covered this week, mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
And your best chances of getting a kiss and all
of that is making sure that the person you're gonna
be kissing is also eating onions.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
True, very true.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So you know our garlic whatever you happen to be
eating as.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Well, probably both around here, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, probably. So talking with Rita Heikenfeld again, her website
is about eating dot com. Be sure and check it out.
So we went through the recipe and obviously not a
whole lot going on in the garden yet, although Matt
gave us an update in his garden already starting to
see he said, as garlic's probably tallerant has ever been
this time of the year. But seeing those bulbs starting
(08:41):
to pop up and things like that, they just know
snow goes away. They know it's right around the corner.
But we ask Rita to take a look at maybe
some of the love herbs that are out there, because
now we're gonna have Rita feature an herb every other week.
Talk about that. And of course the one you picked
to feature the most is one of my favorites as well.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Loveage. And you know when you and I do presentations,
then we have that the herb Loveage on the table.
You're always nibbling on the leaves, so I guess that
makes you lovable. But yeah, Loveage, and it's it's very
closely related to Celery, although Celery is a biennial and
Celery is what you find in the stores, of course,
but Loveage it looks I always say it looks like Celery.
(09:26):
On steroids, and it's a perennial and it's it's really
really easy to grow, really pretty. It gets quite tall
in my garden, oh gosh, about four feet or so.
And the taste is strong like celery, mister Wilson, but
to me it's a little spicier. It tastes a little
bit like an To me, it has a little bit
of a licorice flavor. But really easy to grow. A
(09:49):
nice couple leaves will pop, you know, flavor a whole
pot of stew. And you can dry the leaves, you
can dry the stems. You can just a very old fashioned,
wonderful herb to grow in the garden or even in
a pot. How about that?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You can always tell if I'm standing in the herb
section at the garden center, I'm always standing close to
the lovage.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yes, you are.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Picking a piece off and eating it, and then somebody
goes to buy and goes, how come with wat three
stocks on this one? Because Ron Wilson was standing here
eating the lovage. But you know, so what is the
history behind lovage?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh as far as being the word lovage, Yeah, well
let's start way way way back the Greeks and the
Romans used this herb as a seasoning first of all,
and then some medicine because it's a good digestive and
if you choose the leaves, it'll help your digestion, and
also you can make a tonic tea in the monks
(10:46):
in the Middle Ages grew lovage a lot in their
medicinal gardens for that purpose. But as far as the
herb of love, I always say, even the name is
telling because love age symbolizes the strength of love and
during relationships, and you know, I have to think of
you and me and during relationships in a friendship way
(11:06):
because we have been friends for decades. So that's probably
why we both love loveage.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And of course is mister Hikenfeld like lovage.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
You know, I'll put it in soups and stews, and
he wouldn't chew on the leaves. Normal if I put
one of the hollow stems in a bloody marry, he
might with your fath yes, But yeah, I make lots
of potions for him. You know that he just doesn't
know it. So lovage is one of the ones. And
you know it's supposed to be a good or for
(11:36):
reproductive health. So there you go. You think of love
and little ones. It fits right in, don't you think I.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Would imagine that there's a lot of people rushing out
right now to see if their local garden center has
any lovage on hand.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Well, again, very easy to grow it, and it's pretty
and it's a pollinator magnet too. The flowers are like
umbels and it's just beautiful yellow, little tiny flash. So yeah,
it's got a good reputation as an aprodisiac.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And back in that's not why I stand there and
eat it all the time.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Well, you're lovable, but you are good, you know what.
It's a good marketing ploy as well.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
There and they're like, gotta have Yeah, I have easy
eating on that. I gotta have that stuff. Talking with
Rita hiking Felder website is about eating dot com love
each is our herb of the week, so be sure
and check that out as well.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And it is very easy to grow and I love
chewing on it. And it tastes like celery on steroids,
no doubt about it. But comes back every year and
it's always gives you that source. If you're like to
cook with celery, use a lot of celery. And if
you didn't catch what Rita said, The older stems hollow
out and you can use them as a straw in
your bloody Mary. Right quick break, we come back more
(12:49):
with Rita hiking. We'll talk more about those love herbs
because it is Valentine's Day week. Here in the Garden

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Talking yardening with Rita Hiking Felderer website about eating dot com.
Lovage is our herb of the week and rightfully so
because it is Valentine's Day week coming up and it's
a great There's one of my favorite herbs. Perennial comes
back every year. Beautiful plant and tastes like steri celery
on steroids. I like eating it when it's really young,
(16:33):
very tender. But yeah, check it out and you can
use it for cooking, and like we mentioned earlier, it
hollows out and the stems due and you can put
it in your bloody area as well. Some other ones
that fall into the love category. Why is chocolate such
a big thing with Valentine's Day because well because everybody
likes chocolate, well.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Most people do. But here's the thing about chocolate, especially
like dark chocolate. It contains some chemicals that here's what
I have researched and found. Well, we all knew it,
but I'm going to put it into good words. They
chocolate can create feelings of pleasure and euphoria, and because
of that, it's associated with love. But it also contains
(17:18):
slavenoids the dark chocolate, mister Wilson, and antioxidants. So what
does that do? That helps up our blood vessel function,
It reduces inflammation, and it may even lower blood pressure
and cholesterol levels. But basically dark chocolate. You always think
of beans as being good for you. I think of
chocolate as a bean, coffee as a bean. So dark
(17:41):
chocolate is good and very much associated with Valentine's Day,
along with roses.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Why would I think now we were talking about, you know, herbs,
why would roses be in that category?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Well, you know herbs. The definition of herbs in my
world is any useful plant. And of course roses you
think of the symbol of love and romance. I mean,
if you get a dozen roses, have you ever gotten
roses for Valentine's Day?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
No, I have not.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Have you ever given roses?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yes, but you know what, my sweet Tart would prefer
to have carnations and other iris and things like that
versus roses.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well, then you're sweet Tart. By the way, I think
you penned that name sweet Tart. Yes, missus Wilson. Then
you make sure you get her what she likes. But
the roses they used to well they're still very special.
They used to be very very expensive. But through history,
here's what happened Cleopatra. She actually, mister Wilson scattered rose
(18:41):
petals on the floor to seduce Mark Antony. And you
know even today some people they'll scatter petals around on
the floor, the bedspread or in the bath, like if
you take a nice warm bath. And I have done that,
put rose petals in the bathtub, but could not lure mister.
I can call him because all he said was it's
(19:04):
gonna clog up the drain.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
I felt, yeah, he is.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
You know what, and you're not making that. I can
see him saying that, truthfully, nicest guy in the world,
but I guess, uh reata, that's going to stop up
the toilet or the drain.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, the drain. Yeah. I couldn't lure him in the tub.
Could not. That's always said was because he's a tall man.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Does he fit in there?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Uh? Yes, but yes, I don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I don't I don't want to know. You don't want
to go by the way. Rose Rose was the herb
of the year in twenty twelve.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I know, And you know, Cama Mile. Isn't that the
over of the year this year? Ummm? Or what was that? No? No,
that was a few years ago. I forget see that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yes, it is cam Mile, Yeah it is. It's the
twenty twenty five Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Oh okay, well then my memory serves me. Right. That's
a lovely herb as well. But there's another that I
always associate with love and you know this, it's lavender.
It's got, you know, that wonderful scent, and it's calming,
and I just think it just sort of inspires affection.
And as far as devotion, lavender is the herb that
(20:15):
calls for devotion as well. So lots of fun different herbs. Ginger,
do you think that that kicks up the body?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Did you try the lavender with the rose petals?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I did?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I have still didn't work.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I had all no, no, no, it was colorful. Give
you that.
Speaker 1 (20:30):

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Absolutely author Local TV cooking and herbal Expert, the original
Barefoot Gardener, her website about eating dot com ladies and gentlemen,
the One the Only Rita, Nader Hike and Feld Easy Easy.
They're lined up out the hallway today. Can't wait to
(01:38):
hear from you. I thought of you. I thought I
always come think of for you, and Gary and Joe
and all kinds of people when I'm reading stuff But
I thought of you today because I was reading somebody's
that they were going over some gardening things that don't
you don't pay any attention to anymore. And this one
was just for you. You must plant your vegetables and neat rose.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
How that wouldn't be for me maybe, mister Hikenfeld and
mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, the point was you don't have to, is said.
If you're growing crops on a farm, it makes sense
to grow everything in tidy rose because you're using having
machinery to till so harveshire crops, et cetera, et cetera.
But in your own but in your own vegetable backyard garden,
you can decide to lay out in curvedness and however
you want your rose to go, because it's your personal garden,
(02:30):
you know.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And that's true. And the rose you just have a
hoe or a road to till or so. Yeah, it
makes it more interesting. But I do try to make
my rod straight. We've gone over this lots of times.
I just yeah, geographically i'm challenged, and straight line I'm challenged.
But my garden always does very well.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yes, yes, no matter whether it's crookeet or straight, it
doesn't matter. Yes, have you smelled any skunks in your area?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
So no, No, we've been getting a lot of vowles airing.
My neighbor across the street her cat caught it looks
like a bowl, but it had Really I should have
sent you a picture, Keith, almost like a beaver, but
it was a I think it was a bold. But no,
we have not smelled any skunks. Are they coming out
of hiding?
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Oh? Yeah, Valentine's Day?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's why it's a meeting season.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, sure, that's why Peppy Leapew was always on the
Valentine's cards.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh that? How did I miss that?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
How did you miss that? Come on, yeah, I think
I had twice. I have smelled a couple. Actually had
an email from Bob down in Louisiana who said, we're
seeing them everywhere. They've been run over everywhere last month
or so in Louisiana. So there are a couple of
weeks early down there. But yeah, for the most part,
it's amazing. Just all of a sudden, you start to
smell those skunks everywhere because they're out looking for love
(03:55):
in all the wrong places.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Well, I hope they find a bit not on my
little of heaven.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Uh yeah, especially yeah, if you're out walking, well you
don't have a dog out letting the chickens out early
in the morning or whatever. Oh yeah, don't don't want
to surprise him. Do you by chance to get seed
Savers Exchange newsletters?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't get their newsletter, but I believe they have well,
you know, their their catalog. I guess, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
A great one. They had that this week. It was
what's your heirloom tomato name? No kidding, So I put
in the things for you, and you are your tomato.
If you had an heirloom tomato would be Grandma Hikingfeld's
flavor steak butte.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
What a long name, probably taller than I am in
the garden. If I have signed, No, it's.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Actually it would be a determinant. It would be a
small one. Oh okay, Grandpa Wilson's ravishing globemaster.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Now that sounds ravishing. So there they are just read
regular one.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's just yours. It's if you had one, that's what
yours would be called.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh, I see, so you can devise.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
You put your age and your name and your last
name and your initials and all that kind of stuff
in there, and then it tells you what it would be,
you know, like you know, like what your bar name
would be, you know, if you're a bar dancer.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Oh yeah, interesting.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
The bar singer like you always wanted to be.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yes in my other life hitting on a piano. Yes.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Talking with Rena Ikenfeld. Her website is about eating dot com.
The recipe this week, which is on our website at
Ryan Wilson online dot com. It's a cheeseburger pizza for
the Big Game tomorrow happens to be the National Pizza Day. Also,
isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I had heard that, and you know, I was torn
between doing something for Valentine's Day or Super Bowl, So
I thought we'll go with super Bowl because we're going
to be talking about a lovely Valentine's so and you've
got it both covered.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Like I told Joe, you could take this recipe and
make a hard shaped pie crust pizza pie crust.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah you could.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, so Valentine's Day if you wanted to do it
that way. And I had read through this, but I
forgot because I was asking Joe, remember when Rita did
that thing with the tartar sauce on the well, that's
what this is.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
It's the Big Boy Pizza another name. You know how
trends go. But yeah, and it's delicious. We put it
on the grill sometimes, but basically you just put it
in the oven. The recipes on both of our sides.
It's just got all the good cheeseburger ingredients, beef, garlic,
pizza shell instead of a bun, and tartar sauce of course,
(06:43):
and cheese and lettuce and little dill pickles finely chopped.
It's really really delicious and it's good even at root temperature.
So something fun for the game.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
And if you're local you can still use Fresh's tartar
sauce on there.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I know you're going to be able to get that.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, how bad that. I'll bet that that keeps going,
you think.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Because I've been trying to clone it and I'm pretty close,
but haven't gotten that mysterious flavor. But it's it's quite
popular and it's good on French fries and everything, not
just the regular parts.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Absolute Now Dan and I are hunger and heck, m
frish is tartar sauce. Talking with Reno hiking fouled. Of course,
the recipe you can find it on our website at
wrong Listen online dot com. Last week was the game
Day baked onion dip. So you got two things here
that you could do for the big game tomorrow, the
the baked onion dip and the pizza. And by the way,
(07:35):
of course, that recipe came from Dixondale Onion Farm. They're
a newsletter. We got Bruce Fraser coming on after you
to talk about how to grow onions.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
You know, I heard that and that onion dip. Just
the picture of it made me really really hungry. And
so he grows thousands of onions. How interesting. And you
know onions talk about Valentine's Day and love and heart
that one of the best things for your heart ever
is to eat onions. So you've got all the bases
covered this week, mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
And your best chances of getting a kiss and all
of that is making sure that the person you're gonna
be kissing is also eating onions.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
True, very true.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
So you know our garlic whatever you happen to be
eating as.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Well, probably both around here, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, probably. So talking with Rita Heikenfeld again, her website
is about eating dot com. Be sure and check it out.
So we went through the recipe and obviously not a
whole lot going on in the garden yet, although Matt
gave us an update in his garden already starting to
see he said, as garlic's probably tallerant has ever been
this time of the year. But seeing those bulbs starting
(08:41):
to pop up and things like that, they just know
snow goes away. They know it's right around the corner.
But we ask Rita to take a look at maybe
some of the love herbs that are out there, because
now we're gonna have Rita feature an herb every other week.
Talk about that. And of course the one you picked
to feature the most is one of my favorites as well.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Loveage. And you know when you and I do presentations,
then we have that the herb Loveage on the table.
You're always nibbling on the leaves, so I guess that
makes you lovable. But yeah, Loveage, and it's it's very
closely related to Celery, although Celery is a biennial and
Celery is what you find in the stores, of course,
but Loveage it looks I always say it looks like Celery.
(09:26):
On steroids, and it's a perennial and it's it's really
really easy to grow, really pretty. It gets quite tall
in my garden, oh gosh, about four feet or so.
And the taste is strong like celery, mister Wilson, but
to me it's a little spicier. It tastes a little
bit like an To me, it has a little bit
of a licorice flavor. But really easy to grow. A
(09:49):
nice couple leaves will pop, you know, flavor a whole
pot of stew. And you can dry the leaves, you
can dry the stems. You can just a very old fashioned,
wonderful herb to grow in the garden or even in
a pot. How about that?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You can always tell if I'm standing in the herb
section at the garden center, I'm always standing close to
the lovage.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yes, you are.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Picking a piece off and eating it, and then somebody
goes to buy and goes, how come with wat three
stocks on this one? Because Ron Wilson was standing here
eating the lovage. But you know, so what is the
history behind lovage?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh as far as being the word lovage, Yeah, well
let's start way way way back the Greeks and the
Romans used this herb as a seasoning first of all,
and then some medicine because it's a good digestive and
if you choose the leaves, it'll help your digestion, and
also you can make a tonic tea in the monks
(10:46):
in the Middle Ages grew lovage a lot in their
medicinal gardens for that purpose. But as far as the
herb of love, I always say, even the name is
telling because love age symbolizes the strength of love and
during relationships, and you know, I have to think of
you and me and during relationships in a friendship way
(11:06):
because we have been friends for decades. So that's probably
why we both love loveage.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And of course is mister Hikenfeld like lovage.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
You know, I'll put it in soups and stews, and
he wouldn't chew on the leaves. Normal if I put
one of the hollow stems in a bloody marry, he
might with your fath yes, But yeah, I make lots
of potions for him. You know that he just doesn't
know it. So lovage is one of the ones. And
you know it's supposed to be a good or for
(11:36):
reproductive health. So there you go. You think of love
and little ones. It fits right in, don't you think I.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Would imagine that there's a lot of people rushing out
right now to see if their local garden center has
any lovage on hand.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Well, again, very easy to grow it, and it's pretty
and it's a pollinator magnet too. The flowers are like
umbels and it's just beautiful yellow, little tiny flash. So yeah,
it's got a good reputation as an aprodisiac.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And back in that's not why I stand there and
eat it all the time.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Well, you're lovable, but you are good, you know what.
It's a good marketing ploy as well.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
There and they're like, gotta have Yeah, I have easy
eating on that. I gotta have that stuff. Talking with
Rita hiking Felder website is about eating dot com love
each is our herb of the week, so be sure
and check that out as well.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And it is very easy to grow and I love
chewing on it. And it tastes like celery on steroids,
no doubt about it. But comes back every year and
it's always gives you that source. If you're like to
cook with celery, use a lot of celery. And if
you didn't catch what Rita said, The older stems hollow
out and you can use them as a straw in
your bloody Mary. Right quick break, we come back more

Talking yardening with Rita Hiking Felderer website about eating dot com.
Lovage is our herb of the week and rightfully so
because it is Valentine's Day week coming up and it's
a great There's one of my favorite herbs. Perennial comes
back every year. Beautiful plant and tastes like steri celery
on steroids. I like eating it when it's really young,
(16:33):
very tender. But yeah, check it out and you can
use it for cooking, and like we mentioned earlier, it
hollows out and the stems due and you can put
it in your bloody area as well. Some other ones
that fall into the love category. Why is chocolate such
a big thing with Valentine's Day because well because everybody
likes chocolate, well.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Most people do. But here's the thing about chocolate, especially
like dark chocolate. It contains some chemicals that here's what
I have researched and found. Well, we all knew it,
but I'm going to put it into good words. They
chocolate can create feelings of pleasure and euphoria, and because
of that, it's associated with love. But it also contains
(17:18):
slavenoids the dark chocolate, mister Wilson, and antioxidants. So what
does that do? That helps up our blood vessel function,
It reduces inflammation, and it may even lower blood pressure
and cholesterol levels. But basically dark chocolate. You always think
of beans as being good for you. I think of
chocolate as a bean, coffee as a bean. So dark
(17:41):
chocolate is good and very much associated with Valentine's Day,
along with roses.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Why would I think now we were talking about, you know, herbs,
why would roses be in that category?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Well, you know herbs. The definition of herbs in my
world is any useful plant. And of course roses you
think of the symbol of love and romance. I mean,
if you get a dozen roses, have you ever gotten
roses for Valentine's Day?
Speaker 1 (18:08):
No, I have not.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Have you ever given roses?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yes, but you know what, my sweet Tart would prefer
to have carnations and other iris and things like that
versus roses.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Well, then you're sweet Tart. By the way, I think
you penned that name sweet Tart. Yes, missus Wilson. Then
you make sure you get her what she likes. But
the roses they used to well they're still very special.
They used to be very very expensive. But through history,
here's what happened Cleopatra. She actually, mister Wilson scattered rose
(18:41):
petals on the floor to seduce Mark Antony. And you
know even today some people they'll scatter petals around on
the floor, the bedspread or in the bath, like if
you take a nice warm bath. And I have done that,
put rose petals in the bathtub, but could not lure mister.
I can call him because all he said was it's
(19:04):
gonna clog up the drain.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
I felt, yeah, he is.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
You know what, and you're not making that. I can
see him saying that, truthfully, nicest guy in the world,
but I guess, uh reata, that's going to stop up
the toilet or the drain.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, the drain. Yeah. I couldn't lure him in the tub.
Could not. That's always said was because he's a tall man.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Does he fit in there?
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Uh? Yes, but yes, I don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I don't I don't want to know. You don't want
to go by the way. Rose Rose was the herb
of the year in twenty twelve.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I know, And you know, Cama Mile. Isn't that the
over of the year this year? Ummm? Or what was that? No? No,
that was a few years ago. I forget see that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yes, it is cam Mile, Yeah it is. It's the
twenty twenty five Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Oh okay, well then my memory serves me. Right. That's
a lovely herb as well. But there's another that I
always associate with love and you know this, it's lavender.
It's got, you know, that wonderful scent, and it's calming,
and I just think it just sort of inspires affection.
And as far as devotion, lavender is the herb that
(20:15):
calls for devotion as well. So lots of fun different herbs. Ginger,
do you think that that kicks up the body?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Did you try the lavender with the rose petals?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
I did?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I have still didn't work.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
