Au revoir Anita

In France haricot vert is harvested this small?

Anita's relocation to be closer to her family means she has had to leave the Farnham St. Neighborhood Garden... she will be greatly missed. These photos are of her last summer harvest, showing Anita's preference to grow vegetable varieties from her native France. Anita harvests vegetables when they are tiny- for immediate eating.


If left unharvested, zucchinis like the Ronde de Nice, above right, grow massive and change colour. This one will be kept for seed. The tomatoes in the last picture are Jaune Flamme, an heirloom French variety... au revoir Anita, jardiniere et amie.
