I applaud my friend Tina, who is making the most of her available land by deciding to plant a vegetable garden. I can hardly wait to see how everything matures. So many varieties she has chosen!
For many of us who cannot plant so extensively, we can still think about small, edible things we might grow in a pot. I wouldn’t describe myself as having a green thumb, but my friend, Debra, told me once years ago about green onions.
“Throw the root ends into some dirt and they know what to do.” Yes, she was right. Even I can grow green onions in a pot. Zero waste cooking!
You can try planting a celery stump in a small space too. I have also planted a sliver of beet root. They are both sprouting leaves. We shall see where it leads!
Do you have a sunny spot for some tomatoes? There is nothing like a home grown tomato! How about some fresh herbs?
I heard that Swiss chard doesn’t need much sun. It’s also beautiful.
I saw these artichokes yesterday and thought they were breathtaking. Usually harvested for food before they’re allowed to flower, these were allowed to bloom so that we could appreciate their beauty.
Everyone loves flowers. Could you plant edible ones? Nasturtiums have a delicious peppery flavor, besides being visually stunning with their bright orange hue.
What can you plant and grow?
See what a difference even just a tiny sprinkling of green makes by viewing Pepper Prepper.
