Abbondonza! My Garden is PRODUCING!

Monday, July 27th, 2009


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!
