This summertime darling has affinities with lots of ingredients โ think beans, chiles, and tomatoes, for starters โ making it a welcome addition to any meal. But itโs also delicious on its own, simply boiled and lavishly slathered with sweet butter and salt.
For many people, summer means ice cream, barbecues, beer, and corn on the cob โ all excellent seasonal treats. For me, summer always will conjure ripening melons, the flesh almost cloyingly sweet, with juices running down my arm.
During the Alaskan summer, plants are sprouting, greening up, flowering, fruiting, and storing their nutrients in their roots. Itโs a joy to capture snippets of all this energy and savor the wild flavors and nutrients of summer later in the year.
One day, your vegetable garden is flourishing with young, green plants. The next day, itโs been decimated by some unseen force. Whether your garden is in the middle of the city or flush against the foothills, no gardener is completely immune to the ravages of rodents and other critters.
