Comments on: Paper or plastic? http://fastgrowtheweeds.com/2007/09/23/paper-or-plastic/ This is a journal, of sorts, of an organic garden in SW Michigan.

Actually, I don’t think I have ever seen a deer’s tongue, much less an Amish one. I kind of like the notion that lots of these heirloom veggies have names that are non sequiturs.

Monica: Good point, checking the seed against the environment where it grows. Sometimes that is such a big hurdle for gardeners: they think it’s their lack of skills when it’s just a variety that doesn’t like their garden (no offense)! But I like the idea of coming up with my own seeds…and naming them, of course. It is a dying art, certainly.

Maybe you can come up with a new one and name it :-)
In the end that all that counts right–grows well and taste good!

I will follow your lead with the lettuces, tho I have only 6 plants, and cant’ tell an Amish deer from a regular deer…
