Yes, the juniper berries are edible. These on my post are not ripe, but once they turn blue or pink (depending on the variety) they can be eaten. I understand they are not really delicious though. But they are used to make gin and also to flavor some meat dishes.A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977509261429741652.post-42280847947815734722012-05-12T19:06:37.233+01:002012-05-12T19:06:37.233+01:00The U.S. population has historically placed a cons...The U.S. population has historically placed a considerable degree of trust in the regulatory oversight provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its agencies. There is little tradition of people having a close relationship with their food, with the overwhelming majority of people having bought their food in supermarkets for years. But the 2003 survey by the Pew Research Center showed that even in the U.S., 55% see GM food as "bad" food. A 2010 survey found that over one third of U.S. consumers were very or extremely concerned about GM food, a 3% reduction from 2008.Ella Bakerhttp://geneticallyengineeredfoodnews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977509261429741652.post-37995824416888035602012-05-10T04:59:11.857+01:002012-05-10T04:59:11.857+01:00How awful that your grafted plants sat in the box ...How awful that your grafted plants sat in the box a whole week while Your neighbor didn't know you'd changed cars!

Very curious - what are they grafted to and why? Is it for disease, or plant yield? The good thing about new blogger is that it seems to put photos where I am in my blatherings rather than at the top where I have to squiggle them through down and put them where I want. The bad thing is that it had a little burp while I was working away and poof all was lost. The old "you get what you pay for" always flows through my mind when I'm having Blogger problems.<br />BBarbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977509261429741652.post-22435518468848545602012-05-08T06:27:47.465+01:002012-05-08T06:27:47.465+01:00Very interesting stuff you are doing!

Are you going to compare them with a non grafted tomato under the same conditions?<br />This new blogger format also has me confused for a while but I think there might be a couple of improvements once I get my head around it!Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.com
