Despite my best efforts to ignore it, the garden just will not go away! I haven’t hoed or sown or watered in months (just don’t ask), yet still hot peppers, green & yellow bell peppers, chinese eggplant, sunflowers and even tomatoes are still popping up. Amazing.
I also have bottle gourds and one, just [...]

So I’ve decided to list and describe the vegetables we’ve been able to harvest and, most importantly, eat so far. The one thing I’ve noticed they all have in common is none are like anything I’ve bought in a grocery store. Now, that’s both good and bad.

So the spinach has been pantyhosed and is on its way to the big spinach garden in the sky. It didn’t die of embarrassment from the ill-fitting and baggy hosiery. It successfully fulfilled its spinach bearing duties, flowered and is slowly and peacefully becoming compost. The pantyhose is to catch the seeds which will hopefully [...]
