Listening to David Bowie on YouTube and making four quiches. Swiss chard and fennel quiches, that is. YUM. One to eat tonight and three to freeze for holiday purposes. Fennel is a very beautiful plant, I would recommended growing it to anyone. Swiss chard is great, as there is no time frame as to when you can eat it. Baby chard is great, and it's even outlasted the frost quite spectacularly here in central Connecticut. I had some great broccoli rabe, but you have to pick it after it buds and beofre it flowers, which is hard for people like me. Green onions and leeks came up great this year--very usable; also managed to grow some fantastic romaine lettuce--however you MUST eat that before it bolts because it gets terribly bitter. Very pest/disease resistant, the above mentioned items.
I killed my patchouli plant, and also the pineapple sage should have been re-planted at some point, but overall I'd say I grew some successful things this year.
Today, I have to get my necklaces onto my ETSY site, and ship a vase I sold to Texas. I have to really make some sales this year! Pictures of quiches coming soon!
