While I wait for something more interesting to come along to write about:
1. Lettuce
2. Cucumbers
3. Heirloom tomatoes, specifically, wrinkly, funny-shaped ones![]()
Hoo-ah!
While they were not part of the original goal, I can also add:
4. Carrots
5. Kentucky pole beans
6. Yellow crook-neck squash
7. Sweet peppers
Oh, and:
8. Alien genitalia which—and I can't believe I'm going to write this because I know how all of you are, but friend Andrea says I have to—taste sweet and hot.
Andrea is absolutely, positively correct! I'm jealous. My peppers are still green.
