Here’s the third question… I do sound like I am bragging a little about my garden… 😕
-What foods do you primarily grow yourself (produce and beyond)?
We regularly grow sugarpod and snap peas, lettuce, kale, spinach, chard, onions, broccoli, cabbage, various asian greens, tomatoes, basil, carrots, beans, potatoes, beets, eggplant, peppers, summer and winter squash, strawberries, pumpkins and melons We grow herbs of various sorts, including mint, thyme, rosemary, oregano, dill, sorrel, and tarragon. Most years we grow garlic, but this year I got behind and did not make the fall planting I usually have. I have been unsuccessful in growing asparagus and just tilled in the spot we had tried to get a patch growing. Instead we will be expanding the brassica selection to include cauliflower, and brussel sprouts. We have an old apricot tree as well as an aging Italian plum tree. We have a 5 year old Black Arkansas apple tree and a young peach tree.
