I like to think of myself as a pretty decent green thumb and try to grow all sorts of things. To date I have grown Carolina reaper chillies (and eaten one
) barley and rye (added to a bourbon and a little to a beer), wine grapes, hazelnuts with truffles in the roots and on the list goes into common veggies.But my main question is what does everyone grow as far as botanicals are concerned?
I have almost the whole suite of citrus on my section, which is easy enough in New Zealand.
It seems though, that there are something not commonly grown at home anywhere. Like grains of paradise.
I would quite like to (one day) be able to do a fully seasonal gin from my back yard. Juniper, bay leaves, cardomom, lemon, GoP etc.
What does everyone grow at home for use in booze?
