But that’s okay, we like our vegetables. This is about a 3 day pick from our Garden 2009. Needless to say, we are also supplying friends and neighbors with some fresh veggies also. Clockwise from top right: Yellow Squash and some round zucchini like squash, lettuce, eggplant, carrots,Beets, Turnips, tomatoes, green beans, Green Anaheim chiles, Jalapeno chiles, bell pepper, cucumbers, “lemon” cucumbers, and zucchini. YUM!

It took us a couple of years after moving from the low desert to the high desert to learn how to garden again. We had to get used to late freezes, cool nights, and a short late season. I think we’ve finally got it down. Our garden is producing in leaps and bounds (and toads, and lizards, and bumblebees).

We are eating local these days:
Dinner: Short ribs from the beef our friend raised which we received in exchange for veggies and watching his animals while he was on vacation -
Zucchini, eggplant, and salad (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, radishes & carrots) from our garden, dessert: goats milk ice cream - from our goats (the milk, they don’t give ice cream even though I keep trying to convince them that would save energy!) - All organic and hormone free!
