This morning I woke up to the most horrendous headache. I had a stuffy nose, scratchy throat and watery itchy eyes.
Birthday boy was sick as well. We have been taking benadryl for the last two days, but our heads feel like they're in a vice.
Oh the Joy of Spring! It is soooo beautiful yet makes me feel so awful. I always know when the wisteria are at their most beautiful I will be the biggest mess. But I do so love the wisteria!

Wisteria flowers dipped in pancake or tempura batter and fried golden brown, then topped with just a dusting of powdered sugar can alleviate the pollen issues you may have with this plant. Hurry, they only bloom for a few days.
That sounds absolutely delicious!
I'm not allergic to the Wisteria, I'm allergic to local grasses and cats.
It just so happens that the grasses which have microscopic pollen is flying through the air at the same time the yellow stuff is on our cars and the Wisteria is in full bloom.
I became a bee keeper to aleviate my allergies then found out I wasn't allergic to anything the bee's pollinate.
This is what happens when your blonde...I am going to make the Wisteria Tempura anyway, it sounds delish!
Same recipe works for Elderberry blossoms, I stole all from Euell Gibbons book "Stalking the Wild Asparagus." RIP Euell, You rocked!
Will wisteria grow if a piece is broken off and put in the ground? There is so much of it growing wild I'd love to have a cluster of it right in the middle of my yard. Any suggestions?

My husband purchased some rooting hormone for me the other day for the figs. I have had great success with this product on rose cuttings.
To start Wisteria I would cut some right below a nodule (don't use a peice with a flower on it, it will draw too much energy from it) and split it length wise just right into the nodule. Dip your cutting into hot water to open the pores then dip into the rooting hormone.
Cover it well, then take your finger and poke a hole in the dirt in a pot or a nursery bed, Gently place the cutting into the dirt and squeeze the dirt around it. Take a two liter soda bottle and take the label off and cut off the bottom.
Water the plant well, then place the bottle over it. You can remove the top during the day and then screw it back on at night . This will give you a mini green house and will help stimulate root growth. You can use this technique all almost all plants
