THROUGH MY LENS: GARDEN IN OCTOBER 2023
CHINESE LONG BEAN | Planted the seeds in the ground in the beginning of July. After 90 days of growing and feeding with fish fertilizer, finally getting a bounty of long beans. Great stir-fried with ground pork.
COSMOS | These orange beauties come back every year and are great for pollinator attractors. Easy to grow like marigolds.
MEXICAN LIME | Producing small limes that I can't wait to harvest for Taco Tuesday dinners.
LUFFA | Who would have thought that this planet would grows gourds that turns into fibrous sponges that can be used as a dish sponge. Just bleach it once a week to keep it sanitary.
THAI BASIL | This beautiful herb is a great add to pho noodle soup. When it goes to flower, it produces beautiful purple flowers. It's a wonderful pollinator attractor.
GARLIC CHIVES | We dehydrate this and food process into a powder to use as a condiment on savory dishes. This plant is bunching in nature and is on its third year in my garden. I will be dividing the plant in December so I can grow more of this feast.
