That’s how they very often serve pizza in Italy. I love it!

I'm sorry, but that's a bit rich coming from an English speaker.
If thereis one language not phonetic, it's English
Back on topic,
I like pizza without tomato sauce and often use cream cheese or even yoghurt instead
Oh yes, it has to be added on at the end without cooking it

That is how I add fresh basil from my garden to pizza. I have to try it with arugula.
I should really see if I can grow arugula here. It is similar to some weeds, so all I should need to do is plant it where I don't want it, and it should thrive.

To me, that is pretty much the definition of a weed. It's a plant growing where you don't want it. Some "weeds" are grown intentionally by people who don't think of them as weeds. Mint comes to mind.
Mint is the worst. I will never plant it in my yard. It will take over the whole yard.

It should do well where you live, I don't think you often see snow and ice in the Winter.
We get some snow and ice, but not usually a lot. Most of my herbs survive through winter, even with snow and ice, but I move my basil indoors, where I have a big South facing window.
CD
I put a mint plant in a pot and put it on concrete outside my patio door. It sent out runners and was trying to climb into the other plant pots.

The blessing of goldenrod that we learned this year, was that the bees harvested it hard, along with the sunflowers. It signifies the end of the season for bees to harvest. The gold color translated to the honey, the deepest yellow, and instead of white wax and golden colored honey, the wax was also gold. It's distinctive of the last honey of the season being extracted and in our case the last of the honeycomb harvested. When we compare the comb from mid summer to the comb from fall harvest, the color is most noticeable.

But then, I grew up speaking English, (and Sicilian). English is a Germanic language (which I also speak), which is totally phoenetic. Of course, over a few millennea words and phrases from assorted romance languages have been incorporated, but it is still more phonetic than most romance languages, and especially French.
I'm getting confused here, can we actually refer to a language as being phonetic or not? The English language for example has a phonetic system to help foreign students with the pronunciation, as English is not spoken how it's written. You often find this phonetic chart in English language course books for foreign learners of English.

Are we still discussing pizza toppings? Or have we moved on?
My oregano is grows all year around, even under snow. Every once in. a while I have to take a weed-whacker to it to keep it from taking over the yard.

I grew up in an era before phonics became a popular tool. first time I saw it could not make heads nor tails of it... and still can't. It's true, some old dogs dragns just can't learn new tricks.
