I can relate to the downsizing – we went from a 40×120′ garden in the country to raised beds in the city and now a condo where I garden in containers. My grape tomato plant did extremely well and I have been getting tomatoes since June! I mainly grow herbs, edible flowers and a few veggies. Your pasta dish sounds like a perfect way to use so many things from your garden.

Karen, there is something kinda of fun about just reaching through one’s window for needed kitchen herbs. This season, which is rapidly coming to and end up here, has been educational for sure. Already planning next years Herb’n’ garden.

Opening the kitchen window and snipping some fresh herbs…you can’t get much better than that. You’ve shown in this post that when you are creative, you can indeed garden in small spaces. Your pasta looks and sounds great.

Hello Ben, Thanks for having a read today. There are so many culinary herbs to choose from these days. Many we can raise here, but due to our long days and short season there are many we can’t. Take dill, Swedes love dill, bit I find it difficult as it only wants to bolt during our long summer days. I’ve never seen white lavender, sounds interesting. The pasta is/was herbaceously delicious.

We’ve been growing a lot of herbs too (Well, I don’t really participate. But I provide a list of needed herbs and occasionally can go to a nursery). The great part of this is that different variations of herbs appear regularly, especially within basil and mint families. My favorite kind of mint has been chocolate mint for a couple of years now – it has such a strong yet delicate and delightful flavor. I also was surprised to have found pinapple sage last year. It really had that pinapple aroma (and it was beautifully blossoming too). This year I was excited to find white lavender! This year we’ve been limited with our space, but I hope next year I’ll order as many herbs as I could find 😉 Love this simple yet delicious herbaceous pasta, too!

Thanks Pam, you’re so right regarding red onions, bacon and pasta. Community garden are so important in communities. We have several in our are here. So you know our Scandinavian jiggly lutefisk. For me, it is all about the sauce. But, it represents a less prosperous time from the past in the Scandinavian culture. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Sounds like a good dish to me, Ron! Red onions, bacon and pasta works for me. I see you’re from KY, me too, Louisville. My retired father started the first community gardens way back when In L’ville so anything veggies straight from the garden works for me. BTW, my MIL was Swedish. She loved lutefisk! I have other words for it. But her Swedish mustard was to die for! Take care

Nothing wrong with a pot of aloe, comes in handy if you have a minor burn. Look at it this way, you’re not much of a gardener. But, I’m not a pastry chef like you are. Those Chocolate Banana Cupcakes up on your blog are wonderfully tasty looking. Chloe is a cutie, most of the time.

You’re so lucky to be able to grow herbs like that! I cannot, for the life of me, get anything but aloe to grow :). Your garden is just lovely and so incredibly green. . PS, Chloe is adorable!
