While perusing my e-mail this evening, I came across a message from the GreenStalk folks, which mentioned something I want to try this year:
a “Pizza Sauce Planter”.
I would dedicate one of my eight 3-tier GreenStalk vertical planters to be a “Pizza Sauce Planter”, and it would contain all of the plants needed to make homemade pizza sauce, including:
- Roma tomatoes,
- Basil,
- Oregano,
- Thyme,
- Rosemary,
- Marjoram, and…
- a couple of others that I WON’T be putting into MY pizza sauce: jalapeno peppers and sweet banana peppers (since I don’t like either of them.).
I think I’m going to like growing the makin’s for my own homemade pizza sauce because Sweet Thing and I definitely LOVE pizza.
Hmmm… I think I’d better also have a planter that’s dedicated to salads since I always try to have a big bowl of salad whenever I eat pizza. So, yeah… I see a pizza sauce planter AND a salad planter in my garden this year.
To end this Vanity Post about gardening, I’m going to share a quote from Gertrude Jekyll (pronounced JEE-kill), a famous Victorian gardener/garden designer:
“A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfullness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all, it teaches entire trust.”
