I love planting gardens. I
Cannot help it wherever I go. I throw seeds in the ground and try grow vegetables
and here I had this lovely little spot that had been an ugly mess of
Nandina bushes and vines and tree tree sprouts and all sorts of ugly ripped it all out
started it over had flowers in here and
This spring I decided to throw some vegetable seeds in just just for to fill it in make it do something more than just
flowers and
I
Decided to do crops of Georgia through history. So I had the three sisters on one end
commercial crops like peanuts and cotton and field Peas on the other and okra in the middle and just
kind of let it do its thing and it
produced an
amazing amount of interest heirloom seeds are
Seeds that have been passed down through over the generations by people
It's the oldest
method of having seeds
I'm doing it partly because I like to teach and I like to teach and off offshoot ways and
If I can get people interested in
Growing
things growing vegetables
That's great. And
Because food is so much a part of culture
it ties right in with
Anthropology. I love how people are interested in it and they look at the plants and they feel them and they the okra makes a
yellow flower about this big around it's beautiful and
This variety is called bowling red. It comes from Bowling Green, Kentucky and
It's a very beautiful variety. So not only is it useful. It's also very ornamental
So we have the incredible edible garden
And I love it, yep
