Down here on Belle plantation we've never spent much time cultivating food. We don't have a lot of usable space as most of the plantation is taken up with Longleaf or Loblolly Pinetrees. Which means a LOT of pinestraw everywhere. But this year, we felt the urge to spread our wings and venture into planting. We are sticking to container planting for now, and are starting pretty basic: 2 kinds of cherry tomatoes, a cucumber, and a yellow banana pepper (strictly for me). I can't wait! You can see the tomatoes are looking scrumptious. The cucumber plant is WiLd with vines and flowers, and the 2 older belles eat cucumber nearly every night. I have recently discovered just how divine cucumber sandwiches are. I plan on making my hummus very very soon, and think that a cucumber and hummus sandwich would probably make the world go round.
