A couple months ago Marianne was raving about some pole bean you and her really liked. Something about it never really getting overmature? The Borlotto Pole Beans sounds familiar, was that what she was talking about? I usually just buy all of my vegetables from Johnny’s, because they have a really good catalogue for beginners. They give a lot of information on how to grow things, and what the differences are between the varieties. For those of us who need hand-holding, it’s really good. However, I was quite disappointed this year. They seem to have cut back on their selection of vegetables, and branched out more into the herb/flower/gardening supplies. Considering the had the highest price I’ve seen yet for Wall O’ Waters, I wish it had just stuck to the vegetables. Thankfully, it has’t discontinued any my regulars, except for Laura Leek, but I found that on their website. Anyway, I’ve decided to at least look at other seed catalogues for vegetables this year.
If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on what’s come before.
