Laughing DUCK GARDENS & Cookery

Plants From The Kitchen Garden

In our Rappahannock County based blog, Rappahannock Cook & Kitchen Gardener, a post sometimes focuses on one genus, one species or one cultivar: what’s my experience with it? how did it grow? what was the yields? anything interesting about it (good or bad)? how did it taste? what it kitchen-worthy? (or I may just wax poetic or ramble about its history…. that sort of things). Sometime there will be a recipe in that same post (but, if you are specifically looking for the Recipe Index, go here)
