Playing in the Dirt

Today, just before the rains came, my Sweetie and I planted tomatoes and Thai basil in our plot at the community garden.

My Sweetie bought Celebrity, Early Girl, La Roma, and Sun Gold at Whole Foods. They are large, strong, healthy plants. I can’t wait until we can pick the small golden-orange fruit of the Sun Gold that taste like candy.

Thai basil has small leaves, purple stems and a subtle licorice or mint flavor. It is described as having a more assertive taste than regular sweet basil.

When the earth is dry again, we will add more tomatoes and sweet basil.

I can taste them now with fresh mozzarella.
