"The world of the gar-
dener,..is all worlds at all
times... It is the world of food,
healthful- and humble for
everyday needs, or dejicate and
rare for refined palates of
gourmets".
Going round in circles, with
food prices still soaring? Well,
how about' a c.,t„t,uple of food
circles in your own backyard!
Here are ' a couple of
suggestions so that you too can
have the thrill of picking your
own tomato, cucumber, etc. for
a tasty snack.
From a focal point such as a
small bird bath, sundial or
small statue place four healthy
tomato plants equal distances
apart so that your four paths
from the outside circle con-
verge from all sides for easy
'handling • and weeding
Tomatoes seem to have
'originated in the Andes of South
America and were brought
northward through Mexico in
some early migration, even-,
tually becoming a staple food of
the North American Indians
sometime in the 16th Century.
In the second circle, plant
string beans and cucumbers in

clumps of two, alternating
pairs (four clumps of each).
String beans, along with corn
were also 'used by North
American Indians to supply, the
much needed protein and
carbohydrates in their diet. The,
cucumber was brought to the
New World by Columbus. It
may have originated
somewhere in the Himalayas.
It was grown in China in the 2nd
century B.C. The French grew
one variety as a cosmetic and,
in fact, it is still used as an ,
astringent for the skin.
In the farger circle three we
may use three clumps each of
green r peppers, broccoli,
eggplant and cabbage. The
green pepper was on this
continent when Columbus
arrived in 1492. Broccoli, like
cauliflour; is related to cabbage
and is a product of the
cultivation of the cabbage.
Pliny tells us that it was valued
by the Italians in the first
century, but a taste for table
use was acquired by the Anglo-
Saxons. It has been grown in
America for about 200 years' but
did not become popular to any
great extern until its use by It-
alians in this country. •
Eggplant, it seems, which
had its origin in India, is known
under several names in San-
skrit and Bengli languages. A
„smaller kind was known, in
Ancient China. It is thought to
have ' been brought into the
Mediterranean region during
Arab ,invasions of the. Middle
Ages. It has "been in the West
for about 1500 years.
Cabbage was probably
brought to, Europe by, raiding
Celts around 1000 B.C. when
their influence was being felt.
from the Mediterranean to
Denmark and Britain.
In our Fourth and outside
circle we can add crisp head
lettuce, carrots, beets and
romaine (the cylindrical type
lettuce). Lettuce Was• popular
with the Romans, who, it is
said, found a way of preserving
salads out of season by a
mixture of honey and vinegar.
One of the many plants which
appear to have originated
around the Mediterranean is
the wild carrot (known as
Queen Ann''s Lace), the first
known carrot, from vyhich our

,. been -developed. In Greece it 'was
considered a curative plant for
stomach ailments and -poor-
eyesight. Modern nutritionists
highly recommend it for its 'rich
Vitamin A content:
The beet, (believe it or not),,
belongs to the same family as
Swiss Chard and. Spinach. Beet
tops make excellent greens,
boiled as spinach, and fresh
young. leaves may also be used
in salads. It seems that
beet tops .were used as
vegetate long before its root
was used 'for anything but
medicinal purposes'. It was
known in Rome in the second
sand ' third centuries. Its first.
known cultivation " was in
England in the 14th century. To
add beauty to the utility ofyour
vegetable circle, circle it with
an edging ,of pom pom or
thurnbelina zinnia,s or cheery
French Marigolds.
If space permits and you like
that "gourmet touch" another
interesting circle . containing
herbs and flowers set out in the
same basic design as your
vegetable circle will add
beauty and exciting flavor to
your summer diet. Around your
centrepiece place four hybrid
tea roses, spacing as for circle
one - allowing four entrances to
your focal point.
Although we no. longer use
roses for puddings, sat'zces,.etc..
as the Romans once did,
rosewater is still available as a
cosmetic, and potpourrie can
be matiefrom their petals.
In circle two summer savory,
delphiniums, garden burnet
and tarragon are planted in
clumps of two.. Savory adds
flavor to fish, poultry,
scrambled eggs, etc.
Larkspur -delphinium' may be
added 'chiefly for beauty,
although they were used in the
Middle Ages as,a medication.
Ga -den burnet has a
cucumber -like flavour, is tasty
in ,salads, and can be used to
make a type of vinegar.
Tarraton, a popular herb
today, was reported by a
Spanish physician to sweeten
the breath and induce sleep. I.t
is used today 'to. flavor com-
