It is almost February in Minnesota and although Mother Nature has been kind to us of late, it is still winter and I long for my vegetable garden again. I have already begun the grand scheme and my lovely husband has joined in my pursuit of a bigger and better garden this year. So far, we are planning to raise several varieties of heirloom potatoes. Daughter #1 has chosen the
'All Blue' variety and I have chosen the
'German Butterball'. (I hope I do not turn into a butterball eating them!) My lovely husband would like a solid red potato and has chosen
'Sangre'!
Of course we will grow tomatoes, too! We are still enjoying the canned tomatoes from last summer! The
'Cherokee Purple' was a family favorite and we will plant them again this year, along with plenty of beautiful peppers, kale and collards!
Oh for a fresh vegetable from my garden right about now! What I would not give for the sun drenched taste of a fully ripened tomato today.
