Welcome!

It is our intention to offer information regarding, well, Food & Foliage. Two of our favorite topics. In regards to Food, there will be recipes, ideas about cooking & food, as well as links to some of our favorite sites with the same theme. In regards to Foliage, since we are avid gardeners, there will be a vast amount of photos, ideas, and growing experiences posted here for all to enjoy and comment upon.

We live in the Western mountains of North Carolina, and as such, being in Zone 6-7, depending upon whose zoning maps you look at, we have specific challenges, as everyone does, in attempting to grow certain types of plants, and garden vegetables. With the herbs that we grow; medicinal and culinary, there doesn't seem to be a particular type that doesn't do well in this zone. This is good news of course, and we hope to continue the number of each type of herb that we grow, since it's not only beneficial, it's a great deal of fun!

Again, welcome to Food & Foliage
