Dr. Bashioum’s Garden
May 2nd, 2014
While I’m waiting for the threat of frost to disappear here in the Minneapolis, I’ve started some unusual seedlings inside to add to my garden this season. I’m doing some custom growing for friend and award-winning Billylly at Sushi Fix, in Wayzata. Besides 2 kinds of Asian shiso leaf again, we are trying heirloom seeds for a Japanese variety shishito peppers and Peruvian hot lemon drop peppers. I guess this year makes my unique garden a cultural culinary melting pot! To watch a short documentary film about Billy Enkhbilgee Tserenbat ‘s journey to become a sushi chef, click here.
Fall Crop of Apples
October 11th, 2013
Picking the last of the Fall apple varieties from my garden. I have a bucketful of “Fiesta” apples, a nice crisp and tart variety that tastes similar to MN Landscape Arboretum developed, “Honeycrisp.” They ripen later in the season and are one of the last of my crops to harvest, as the gardening season comes to a close in Minneapolis. The ground cover seen in the photo underneath all my apples tress is the carpet of fraise des bois or alpine strawberry.
