About

A few years (well, maybe decades) I bought a book that was simply a list of the most popular vegetables in cultivation at that time, the 19th century sometime.  I thought it was the coolest thing and would pour over the old black and white engravings, read the descriptions and dream of having a vegetable garden.

While I never have lived where I could have more than some potted cherry tomatoes in pots I could move to follow the sun, my fascination with the past and its vegetables and other garden plants has grown.  I have another blog where I look into the lives and catalog art work of seedsmen and women, but I wanted a place to follow a vegetable through time irregardless of country, time or seedsmen.

Even potted cherry tomatoes get horn worms...only they look smaller than average :-)
