Pickled

Peculiar pickle,
Precise, purposeful patience,
Panic in purple.



If I grow ginger, sunflowers, chili peppers - cayenne and jalepenos, rhubarb, roma tomatoes, kale and parsley, what else would grow well in high altitude desert? Suggestions? Ideas?

I live in a near sea level temperate area with significant rain fall, so I don't really have any advice for you.

I find garlic is easy to grow.

Phil,
That's alright, since I don't really taste garlic, but it leaves me later with an awful taste in my mouth and a tweaked gut. Not happy with onions much either. Oh, maybe some shallots...

Pickles! Now you've done it. All I can think of is pickles in brine ... and I can't even enjoy them yet suffering as I am from the dregs of this dastardly cold. Can't even enjoy a pickle!! Ach, poor me!

Rou,
When you are feeling better, you can have my pickle. I'm only soft for sweet gherkins, and even then the vinegar doesn't set well in my mouth.

lemongrass? If ginger will do well

gz,
Looked it up, it can grow here, even in poor soil, but takes a lot of water. Maybe I'll do a small pot of it at a corner where water gathers anyway.

I may need to add a side blog for the garden.

Living in a temperate rainforest, I don't really know. How about some fruit trees? Grapes? Artichokes?

Good luck with the moving countdown!
