The garden was totally nonproductive this summer. Horrible weather.
But so what. Throw the base of green onions in some water, even without roots, and they’re off and running in a couple days.
Here they are in dirt, between “recycled” bok choy in the foreground and a broccoli stem in the background (we’ll see). We may get a few green peppers, but meanwhile the only garden success are the very hot peppers on the left, called infierno negro (black hell) where they’re sold (they go from green to black to red), and otherwise known as puta parió, which sort of translates as “son of a whore.”
Not sure why they even grow them; generally anything spicier than black pepper is anathema to the Uruguayan palate.
Me gusta puta parió. (Peppers, that is!)
