Often the nights meals is based around the veggies we have grown in our garden. It does mean that we eat cabbage soup one night followed by coleslaw another.
Tonight we will be enjoying homemade chicken schnitzels along with cauliflower cheese, boiled carrots, some steamed red cabbage, corn on the cob (not grown at home this year as ours didn't develop properly) and radishes. Plus mashed potato. We have used all our home grown ones, so these will be shop bought.
Today I am thankful for the ability to walk out my front door and pick fresh veggies for our dinner. They are so full of flavour and free of chemicals. Which is wonderful.
I wonder how many of you also grow your own veggies or fruits?
I agree with this delicious sort of menu. We can buy fresh veggies from our local veg market which is so good - cheaper that growing it at home! But the radishes are always better straight from the soil!
I grow what I love to eat and have learnt what doesn't do well. At the moment planting for winter crop as the herb garden continues to fill my salad bowl. Fruit trees give fruit at staggered times throughout the seasons. Almost finished the persimmons as the figs are about to ripen. Then the citrus will follow. I do buy local too.
That is so awesome! I have been thinking of some sort of veggie area in my yard... I always pushed it away I was afraid I don’t have enough time to maintain. This photo makes me rethink...
A lovely shot. It reminds me of when our oldest daughter was small and my dad helped her grow her own vegetables in a small area of his garden, and her surprise when they were dug up and cooked and she could eat them!
Absolutely fantastic -- so envious of your garden! I'm trying to grow herbs in an Aerogarden in our condo. And probably, even if we get to the island, it will be too late to plant anything. What a great way to eat healthy!
My they look delicious! I have too many critters that would think my garden was meant for them so I can't grow my own (although I am trying some herbs in pots this year). But thankfully we have a wonderful farmer's market every Saturday and our supermarket also gets a lot of their produce from local farmers so they may not be as good as growing it yourself, but it's the next best thing!
We have our own vegetable, well I should say hubby has a vegetable garden. This year was the first time he has been able to grow good carrots. Enjoy your fresh vegetables they are so much tastier than shop bought.
