harvests

My newfound magical herb friend: Nigella, or Black Cumin seed. A beautiful flower and wonderful cure-all from the middle eastern herbal tradition. The seeds are eaten and used for "everything that ails you"


This has been the year of cherry tomatoes! We didn't plant any tomatoes in anticipation of stink bugs. Then we had a thousand volunteer plants that I left in the ground and lo and behold, stink bugs didn't bother them much! That means cherry tomatoes coming out of our ears!
Look at this giant lettuce leaf basil! We've been busy harvesting my 5 types of basil to make enough pesto to last throughout the winter
