@zensky I am jealous of your pecan tree. Gardening is over for the year here in Chicago.
But here is my anecdote from warmer weather.
My garden is three clay pots outside my window. Big ones, 18 inches across. Space may be limited, but I am going to have the biggest garden possible.
The “plots” hold:
1) Banana peppers
2) Basil
3) Dill
For lunch I carry to work a cold salad with red beans (or white beans or black-eyed peas). Plus corn, chopped red pepper and soy beans (Soycutash for those who shop at Trader Joe’s).
And in the morning I lean out the window and gather a little harvest. So my lunch includes fresh hot peppers, basil and dill straight from my garden.
Thanks again, @zensky, for bringing up the topic.
Please enjoy a pecan in my name!
