I'd not heard of lucerne (alfalfa) being a bug haven. i'm finding lichens and tropical plants for that family. not sure what plants you might really be meaning here. latin or taxonomy have never been my strong points. Look for "Apiaceae". Parsley, celery, anise, coriander, dill, fennel, cumin, and more. .... i like all of them. my own cooking times in the past i've used them. now i don't cook as much so have to limit my plantings to what will be used or it is a waste of space and effort. with okra, chard and turnips i'm hoping to widen the cooking palette, but i think she's already determined she won't like the turnips. i have a good chance with the chard. okra, doubtful, it might be too much like black pepper. we'll see. we lost cabbage this past year, she won't cook with it any longer other than saurkraut. to me that is about the whole point of veggie soup... songbird |
