I say… there’s NOTHING better!
Mr. Pesky hand delivered something to go with the beans and cornbread I made. The only way I would’ve been more thrilled is if it would’ve been a homegrown tomato.
I have months left to wait for those.
I’m pretty sure we had fresh tomatoes from the garden by late July in years past, so I have quite a bit of time left to wait. Sure, you can pick up some pretty good looking specimens from local growers earlier than that, but many are the hot house variety.
Mr. Pesky doesn’t typically do potatoes or sweet corn, but he grows some mighty fine cucumbers, peppers, radishes, onions, and tomatoes. He does plant one thing I can’t stand… turnips! The smell of those things cooking is nasty.
What’s your favorite?
Do you look forward to homegrown veggies? If you do… what’s your favorite — and what can you simply not tolerate? Anything?
Now you know: Obelisk, a Queen’s Guard horse, used to lure pigeons to him by dropping oats from his mouth. When they came close, he would stomp them to death. He was eventually taken for additional ‘psychological training’.
