The Edible Garden

Tomatoes and strawberries



Potatoes and arugula



Snow peas



Artichokes and scallions



Flowering chives and thyme



Huacatay (no, not what you think it is. Haucatay is a Peruvian herb in the mint family.



Spearmint and Meyer Lemon



Poor Little Curry Leaf



Shiso sprouts



Now, what's the point of growing curry leaf (which will never get big enough to amount to anything) and artichokes (Plotnik doesn't like artichokes) and shiso, not to mention the asparagus he never harvests and strawberries the birds get?

If you have to ask, you're not a gardener. Here, forgot these jewels: the world's
tastiest purple raspberries.

These shots are a feast for my cement-hardened NYC eyes. (The sights aren't much better in the produce case, either.) Thanks!

Sheesh - how big is your TGP World Headquarters? Are you making any of this up? Why don't you pick the asparagas? Growing anything Peruvian probably at least gets you honorable mention in the Homeland Security files.

Beautiful! Pls. remember to bring me a cutting of that hangie down bell or trumpet tree-ma-thing next time I see you. How can you NOT like artichokes?
We'll take any and all here in Mushville.
