Thank you so much for your comment on my ...Hi Dawn,<br />Thank you so much for your comment on my blog last month. I've been away, so havenot had the opporutnity to respond to comments and questions.<br /><br />You asked about Garam Masala on my Quinoa Beetroot Burger recipe. <br />In Urdu and Hindi, Garam means warm and masala means mixture. Garam masala is a traditional condiment used in traditional South Asian cuisines to impart a certain flavour, much in the same way salt and pepper is in Western cuisine. Every South Asian Mama has her own take or family recipe on garam masala, but traditionally it includes black cumin seeds, black peppercorns, cardamon, coriander, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon.<br /><br />I am a bit like Mark too, I don't tend to save seeds purely out of laziness.Shaheenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602971207085826708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583909057979337233.post-20174651693957306672011-04-07T08:44:19.090-04:002011-04-07T08:44:19.090-04:00Hey Mark, it's a good question.

I think the idea is that if (for example) taking into consideration the heat and humidity in Florida, I save the last seeds of the last crop of tomatoes that survive in August. I have a generation of tomato seeds that are hardy enough to survive and continue fruiting at 98 F without diseases. If I harvest some early ripe Cherry Tomats (blog example), then maybe next year, using those seeds I will have an early crop of Cherry Tomats. That's the idea anyway!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873738272799176944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583909057979337233.post-34502552019996116702011-04-06T16:16:55.352-04:002011-04-06T16:16:55.352-04:00I've never been one for saving seeds from my o...I've never been one for saving seeds from my own plants - with one or two exceptions (chillis and beans). Is it worth the effort, do you think?Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
