Greens

My garden continues to provide lots of lettuce and herbs and peas. Some radishes too.

And I saw my first  wee green tomato. And there is fruit of some sort on a squash plant that appeared after I  dug my compost into the tomato patch. Apparently the conditions in that garden are the right thing for squash and tomatoes.

Jam Session

Local strawberries are here in full force and they taste even better than they look.

NOT Ma Po Dou Fu

But something pretty close.

And an update…

That’s one of 2 flower heads on my curry leaf plant (Murraya Koenigii). First time flowering in the 5 or so years since I received it from my sister.  Hopefully I can collect and grow the seeds.

Taco Night

My  thoughts exactly! That was my first  trip to the market in Lakefield and I showed up just as market was wrapping up.

The pantry, the garden and the neighbours. I LOVE Killaloe!

The focus these days seems to be using up the food in my pantry. Things I’ve canned and stored away.

Eating from the garden

The thing I  like about having the garden is that the lettuce is so fresh it doesn’t even know it’s dead yet:) 

Ever closer

A bowl of greens, fresh cut from my garden.  Mixed baby lettuce, chard, kale, pea shoots, basil, and sage.

Ma Po Dou Fu

I cleaned out the back porch sun room after work and moved the piles of construction left overs that have been tucked away in the corner to their new home, tucked away in the corner of the newly organized garage.

Happy New Year!

This is the day I’ve  been waiting for all year. It’s  opening day of the Combermere Farmers Market.
