Our garden tried to explode into weeds and edible things and bushes and flowers and grasses. I want to blame any and all success that we’ve had out there on my boyfriend.
But we have managed to coax some edibles out of the soil. Garlic, onions, cucumbers, broccoli, enough kale to feed a small army, and we have some bell peppers and jalapenos. The tomatoes will be the greatest triumph – and the brussel sprouts. There is also quinoa and leeks. Nothing has failed entirely, but we’ve been bullied by pests, lack of space, and our own inexperience.
Anyway, boyfriend planted a pack of wild flowers in a pot to attract hummingbirds and, not only did they come out looking like an expert gardener had planned it (my wildflower pot hardly came up at all), but it was overwhelmed with these delightful, peppery treats. It is a flower, and it is tasty. If you see them, don’t be afraid. Pop it in your mouth!
