Our garden is in. This year we have half a dozen tomato
plants in pots, which still might not be enough for our oldest granddaughter. We’ve
also got a few bell peppers, a bowl of spearmint, and several strawberry plants.
We planted a few rows of onions, beets and romaine lettuce. I’ve never had much
luck with romaine, but I keep hoping. The other day, I asked Heather if there
was anything else we should plant. “Zucchini” was her ready answer. We don’t
usually grow the sorcerer’s apprentice of vegetables, as there always seems to
be a neighbor with too many. But I told her we could add one zucchini plant. Next,
she asked for salami and spaghetti. I’m never quite sure what’s happening in
Heather’s head. Was she pulling my leg, or just listing foods that end in I? Either
way, if I could actually grow those, my garden would be the envy of the
neighborhood.
