What I usually do is wash the veg, then place in plastic freezer bags and cook in the microwave for approx 2 mins on high, my microwave is a 900w. When finished, seal bag and place in iced water to cool then freeze. Easy and no mess. Hope this helps Anne UK ... View related article.
Like your tip. I also love hydrangeas, but I dry them. I put about one inch of water in a vase and then put the flowers in and leave them. Do not top the water up just let it evaporate, the flowers dry slowly and also last for months, years even.

I am sure your plant is a Begonia Rex, it is grown for the beautiful foliage, if you are lucky you will get some small white flowers but they are nothing like it's more glamorous relatives.
Just love this idea, any thing that looks cottagey is for me. Greetings from the UK. Thought you may like to see my garden pond in the winter complete with Victoria and Albert under lamp post
