I know we don’t want to rush the seasons, and I hope we have
more winter ahead of us. But
the darkest night has passed and one of my favorite things to do in January is
to sit for a few minutes with a cup of coffee and browse a seed catalog.
Some descriptions are little found poems. Take this one from the Territorial Seed Company catalog for
Bull’s Blood beets:
“The renaissance of the salad mix
has made unique uses for all types of greens, and the leaves of Bull’s Blood
are a regal addition. The strong,
deep red tops grow to 13 inches tall and have a clean crisp flavor. The 2-3 round roots have delightful red
and white zoning. Harvest when
small for the very best in eating quality.”
Happy New Year!
2013
