Who knew?
Well, probably most of you. I sure didn't.
I thought maybe zucchini grew below ground, like a carrot or a potato. I didn't know it grew above ground, and I certainly didn't realize that it flowered first.
Don't worry about me. I'll catch up.
Our little garden is growing bigger and taller. Alison has added two more pots.
We have: tomatoes (four dozen plus now budding), carrots, broccoli, zucchini, lettuce, sweet potatoes, and a mystery seed that when it came in was only identified by country (Kyrgystan). That last one has been planted, but nothing has germinated yet.
Sadly, I really don't eat tomatoes, except as ketchup or sauces. Happily, Alison LOVES tomatoes and should have plenty to choose from.
The rest of the stuff I can eat, although I'm not highly enthused about the lettuce. I can eat really leafy lettuce sometimes, but I prefer it mixed with some iceberg.
Our experiment continues, and I will keep you, my faithful readership, all 12 to 24 of you, updated!
