We have a nice size kitchen garden. Thanks to Son-of-a-wrek. (He’s the heavy lifter.) Greens, onions, peas, okra, tomatoes, cucumber, squash. Son comes in yesterday and tells me there’s a volunteer growing out there. What is it, you ask? I got some hints, for you: 1. Not green or leafy. 2. Legal, I think🤔. 3. Edible. 4. Taste very good, I’m told. 5. The very last thing I’d think of growing in my garden. Can you guess? Just you try. ---
