Do you like Fried Eggplant? I love them, I hope you enjoy my painting…Here is one of our Eggplants from last summer.
Hello! I hope you are well today; it is raining
today here in Virginia
Debra has a five by six foot raised
garden where she grows some really nice vegetables and it has a ring of
strawberries around the inside edge, over on one end she grows herbs.
Around by my kitchen door I
grow cilantro, dill and a tomato plant, it is great fun picking cilantro even
when there is snow on the grown, In April the cilantro starts blooming and the
seeds will fall to the ground and will soon sprout and start growing new plants
again.
On the other side of my
kitchen door a huge concord purple grape vine grows and this summer we have delicious
concord grapes to eat.
In among the grape vines are some
Polk plants have been growing and I love to cut the tops off of the plants and
cook them in some fresh spinach. The Polk
plants have beautiful deep
purple berries that the birds love to eat. Talk about free food! Haa! Haa!
In the depression days, food
was hard to come by. There were Polk
plants scattered over the fields and people would cut the tops from the plants
and take a loaded wagon full of Polk to the canning factory. I was sixteen when I work there. But that is a whole different story about
those days!
Elvis Presley sang about Polk Salad Annie
