Take It To Heart
01-28-2011
This winter alone, over a 100 varieties in the ground, whose evocative names range from Ivory Egg to Lemon Drop to Aunt Ruby’s German Green to the unlikely Royal Hillbilly and slightly sinister sounding Orange Russian 117…three different Brussels sprouts, and 24 carrots [Dragon or Cosmic Purple, anyone?] But wait – that’s not all: who’d have expected 15 kinds of cauliflower, and 14 kinds of garlic? Even the kohlrabi, leeks and tomatillos enjoy a diversity of at least two varieties in this garden. Lettuces [18 varieties!] include Mascara and Flashy Trout Back; radishes [also numbering 18] include Easter Egg, White Isicle, and Crunchy Royale [that one Kate Middleton should take note of!] They are all about standing tall and firm as brassicas in the oversized vegetable patch and green house this time of year—which no doubt, will be appreciated amon he dining guests.
