Smoothie Garden Solution
The secret to a healthy pepper with good color and flavor is
adequate water and fertilizer. The pepper plant does not need a lot
of nitrogen; this will promote leaf growth but not fruits. Keep the
plants mulched with grass clippings to keep the soil moist and free
of weeds.
Basil
Basil is a bushy plant that can grow up to eighteen inches high if you
treat it well. There are a wide variety of types of this herb, including
lemon, fine-leaf, purple, and cinnamon. Basil is a common compon-
ent of Italian dishes, but it can lend a distinctive flavor to your
smoothies as well.
