TOO MANY BEANS? Kale galore? Tomatoes finally ripening faster than you can use them fresh? Make soup, and freeze it—my favorite and most satisfying way to preserve the harvest, since there’s hardly a winter day when I don’t feel like a bowl of soup. Three favorite, easy recipes to turn your garden into right now:My basic vegetable soup, taught to me by my food-writer friend Irene Sax, is loaded with carrots, onions, green beans (and/or peas if you have them), dry beans, leafy greens or broccoli or both, plus tomatoes.

The main content of my posts is to hopefully give information on plants and shrubs which are fully hardy in the North East of Scotland. I have been gardening for many years in Aberdeen. Often I have been made aware of other amateur gardeners in the area concerned that plants which thrive south of the border may in fact struggle in Aberdeen. In my experience most of them will in fact grow, however they may be at least a full fortnight later in coming in to flower. Of course there are some which grow in the far south of England which simply will not survive here. What you can depend on is, I will give information on how each plant which I list has performed in our garden.
Pittosporum Irene Patterson
We are always on the look out for hardy evergreen plants that are perhaps that little bit different. The Pittosporum Irene Patterson which caught our eye in Ben Reids garden centre a few years ago has been a very welcome introduction to our border.(Some of you may find it just too garish, this is a subject that I would like to go in to with some detail on another occasion.)
My experience with Pittosporum over the past six years or so is that they are hardy in Aberdeen, perhaps by the end of the more severe Winters looking a little sorry for themselves. I do have reason to believe that they may struggle to get through the Winter in inland country areas where the temperature can plummet much lower than here on the coast.
The shiny mid green leaves of Irene Patterson are marbled white and cream and held on black stems.
This shrub truly shimmers when the sunlight catches it. The new leaves are creamy white and in Winter tinged pink.
Irene Patterson was a seedling found in a garden in the south island of New Zealand and

Finally! learning how to make vegetable soup
Yes, of course I make vegetable soups: onion soup, split pea, lentil, sweet potato-greens, carrot-ginger, and so on. But a less-specific catch-all “vegetable soup” wasn’t in my repertory. Irene (who co-wrote “Beard on Pasta” with James Beard, and until recently taught food writing at NYU) fixed that.irene’s vegetable soup, my way(I say “my way” because the “recipe” on that napkin didn’t actually give proportions of anything, just, “diced onions, celery, carrots…” and because Irene says, “zucchini doesn’t add much to the mix” so she skips it. Me? I’m looking for ways to use up my summer-squash harvest at the moment. When I showed her the photo, Irene said, “Mine is redder,” meaning more tomatoes, and that’s the point: Balance the “recipe” according to your taste, and the garden’s offerings.)
