i live north of bellingham, washington and brother, the summer just
flies past here. i still manage to grow tomatoes and peppers out of
doors, though things like cantaloupe need to be protected in my micro-
climate. there is nothing like a fresh tomato. that fugitive perfume and
flavor that only a tomato still hot from the sun has-wow!! to be able to
wander around my garden and pick my meals is a little bit of heaven.
i grow:
tomatoes-beefsteak, saladette, roma and cherry types
chives,garlic, leeks, shallot, cilantro, had to quit horseradish 'cos it took over...
rosemary,basil, strawberries, lemonbalm, monarda
pole beans, scarlet runner beans, spacemaster cukes
corn, lettuces, esp. oakleaf, sugar snap peas, sage, thyme,
parsley, artemesia, calendula.........
yes, i dry my own herbs, make sachets, put by vegetables, all that
hippiefried stuff. peace, man! |
