After months of neglect and three feet of February snow, my garden’s a maze of sticks, weeds and whatever else fell from the sky. A few shoots of parsley and a bed of lemon thyme are springing back to life. Time to break out the rakes, trowel and garden gloves.
I usually plant tomatoes, peppers and squash, but maybe I should try a few new vegetables this year. Radishes? What else would be tasty? Any ideas?
I’ve found useful advice from Tony Maniezzo, food garden horticulturalist at the Botanical Garden of the University of British Columbia.

I have never seen vegetables rendered more poetically – wow!
Thank you. Happy gardening!
Beautiful painting. I also like broccoli, lettuce, zucchini, spinach. When I had a larger space I grew strawberries, sweet peas, rhubarb and even potatoes.
