One of the great joys of gardening is to learn how things grow. Did you know that green beans are only bean palamas? The crops when the capsules have developed, but before the beans inside are turned and then hard. Green peppers are red (or orange or yellow) peppers. Green olives are only young black olives. Cherry tomatoes are alone … no, they are just tomatoes the size of a bite. Green tomatoes in fried green tomatoes are only immature tomatoes, but some tomato varieties are green (or black or yellow or orange) when they are mature. White mushrooms grow in Cremini fungi (Baby Bella), which grow in Portobello fungi.
The artichokes are the flower pods of a gigantic thistle plant. Oh really.
Do you know how to grow ginger? Ginger plant. It is a root, so if it places it on Earth, it will send outbreaks of grass and extend, and at the end of the season it will have more ginger. The same goes for potatoes and garlic. The coriander is only coriander that has gone to the seed. The hops grow in vines and smell like beer. Bay leaves come from the bay trees. The asparagus shoot at long horizontal, strings and horizontal roots, and if you let the stems continue to develop, leaves of their advice will grow and put themselves as high as you.
I was showing a visitor (very intelligent) my garden the other day and I was delighted to know that blueberries grow in shrubs. There is much about the food we don’t know! Or I didn’t always know. The first time I cultivated corn, I asked for a package of a seed company and laughed and laughed when I opened it and found it … corn. Obviously, corn grows from corn, but I hadn’t really thought about it before. Cultures Bean beans, peas of peas.
I love to see people share their garden porn photos on social networks at this time of year. People are very proud of the products they are reaping, as they should be.
I put in interest in how things grow and for taste. Newly collected herbs and vegetables make it much easier and more delicious to get their five portions per day. (Even if you will get tired of the curly one after a couple of weeks of collized). It is fun to eat varieties of products that you cannot easily find in groceries because they are too delicate (such as sour cherries, which grow in trees) or strange (such as Tie-Dye tomatoes). But you can’t hold on a rear patio plot, no matter how many plants.
Gardening is itching, pain, tedious, hot and endless. People who cultivate, harvest, process and prepare food to make a living are heroes and deserve safe working conditions, honest wages and protection of being kidnapped, imprisoned and separated from their children.
Anyway, this is a ICE Fuck post. Fuck ice. That thugs in the United States Gestapo never be welcome in a restaurant or know the pleasure of a fresh vegetable.
