So naturally, a lot of time is spent in its cultivation, preparation and eating!
A delicious meal of all local food from our Farmers' Market: ribeye from Mr. White's farm, squash from Mr. Wilfong and snaps from Jenny. Delicious!!
Another wonderful meal of local food: ground beef from Mr. White, tomatoes from the Farmers Market, Mr. Wilfong's sweet potatoes as fries and lettuce from our garden in the front yard!
Speaking of food, our garden is coming along so nicely. Better than I expect for our first real attempt. Lots of good looking green tomatoes, cantaloupes are taking over the yard, sunflowers courtesy of squirrels, cucumbers and summer squash getting their first blooms, lettuce still giving, eggplant not dying.....
Our first cantaloupe just seemed to appear overnight! She is just so sweet nestled down below the mother leaves.
FINALLY a tiny flower bud from our bell peppers - they have been in the ground for 6 weeks and while they haven't died, that haven't grown much either.
The beautiful star of our compost-pumpkins. At least that's what I think they are! The girls love to see them open in the morning, then close again when the Sun hits them, just like real stars.
