Cool Weather Gardening

There is nothing better tasting than home grown vegetables.

With cooler temperatures ahead, it's time to plant vegetables which would not survive during Thailand's hot climate.

In past years I've had excellent results growing arugula, jalapenos, a variety of beans, radishes bell peppers and a few other vegetables.

Acquiring the seeds is an altogether different story. Some imported vegetables available at local stores can be stripped of their seeds and will sprout if they have not been chemically treated.

Acquiring seeds from foreign sources, including mail order, does require some research into legality.
