In case you haven’t noticed, this growing season has been a little drier than our typical South Louisiana wet Springs. I’ve noticed my heavy water plants, tomatoes and cucumbers, are struggling a little. No matter how much I water them, there is nothing quite like a rain, which is rich in nitrogen. It’s these seasons we must turn to our drought resistance crops like okra, peppers, corn, beans, mustards, herbs and even one of my favorites, Malabar Spinach. If you’re not familiar with Malabar Spinach, I urge you to try it. It’s easy to grow in a pot and grows like a vine. The older leaves are tougher but the younger leaves are tender and delicious. The more you pick, the more it gives. It is important that we learn to adjust each season to what nature provides. The more we force the more we lose. As always, grow, buy local and buy regenerative.
