Nutrition for Body and Soul

Above the lower plants it towers,
The fennel with its yellow flowers;
And in an earlier age than ours
Was gifted with the wondrous powers
Lost vision to restore.
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I love seed catalogs! Perfect plants, incredible yields, no insect damage and never any weeds!

“love is sweet, death bitter, virtue lovely, and children or gardens delightful”*

It is February, time to get some seeds ordered! As part of the Erywilde experience, you will have access to a large garden. It will offer all sorts of fresh produce, including tomatoes, peppers, herbs, cucumbers, beets, etc. Maybe even carrots but I never have had success with them. “They’re so inexpensive” is my response to the challenge. Maybe this year?

So, I need your help. What types of fruits, vegetables, and herbs would you like to see in the Erywilde garden? Any faves? Just enter a reply and I will do my best to honor it.

* Have a bunch of free minutes? Read Paradise Lost by John Milton. (Everything changes for mankind in Book VIII.) C.S. Lewis in his book, A Preface to Paradise Lost, states that Milton’s audience would have understood the “…gardens delightful” aphorism to be true.
