I know, I know. Most of the country is covered in snow oday, literally. And I'm talking about my gardens....
Herb garden for sure. Nettles, mullein, plantain, calendula, and hopefully this year I can get a few elder berry bushes and I'd like to have a hawthorn tree. Sage, oregano, basil, chocolate mint, catnip, spearmint, lemon balm.
Veggies: Tomatoes, onions by set-Colorado candy I think, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, acorn squash, yellow beets, choggia beets, brussel sprouts, beans-pintos, and green. Jalapeno, red and yellow peppers. I am considering potatoes....and I think I want to do reds and blues. Odd, huh?
Sunflowers and wild flowers in the front yard. And I hope we can start planting some pines in the front yard this year.
And I am hoping my Darling will let me get ducks again. I know we're getting turkeys, but I really miss my ducks!
I love ducks! They make the yard so jolly with their happy noises and cute waddles! And, their eggs are so much better for baking.
ReplyDeleteI love to use their eggs in baking! They make GF breads so much tastier!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever had Patty Pan Squash? They are delicious and very cute, if a squash can be cute! I try to grow them every year as I never seem them at the grocery store or the Farmer's market.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of them. Ho do you prepare them? I mean, do you have any specific recipes?
ReplyDeleteWe chop the patty pan squash up and stir fry it in a little olive oil or butter, alone or with other summer veggies and some sweet onions. Even my daughter who is not a big squash fan loves it.
