The Garden
COSTA RICA | Friday, 24 October 2008 | Views [540]
Hans, Yvonne (another German who showed up a couple of days ago) and I were given a tour of the eatable garden by a Turkish woman, Ursula. She showed us which plants and flowers are eatable, pointed out the fruit trees and different herbs, and how to harvest them. We ate the plants as we went along. These plants have so many flavors on their own! Many are tangy while others are citrusy. One leaf was as pungent as a clove of garlic!
Then we were put to work. For the next three hours, we weeded the garden, cleared the pathways and the planters. The plants have over grown during the last month and a half she’s been gone.
