I came across this quote and wanted to share it. It's timeless!
If people let the government decide what foods they eat and
what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in
as sorry a state as are the souls who live under tyranny.
-- Thomas Jefferson
I've been doing fairly well at the little local market. My goal is to just sell my surplus garden stuff and keep it to no more than 3 coolers, the KISS method! (Keep it simple stupid!) One cooler is a big, giant Costco cooler and it is about all I can do to lift it. I think twice I had 3 coolers full, but 2 is even better, on the back anyway! I am always amazed at how the one and two dollar items add up to just under $100 a week! I get to do a little trading afterwards too!
As I was walking though the garden today, I was pleasantly surprised to find 2 little yellow patty pan squash smiling up at me today! I was not good about writing down what I planted where, so I am forever looking in the squash or other vine plants to see if there's any "fruit" on the vine. I was beginning to think the patty pan just didn't come up, but there it was! I was so excited I called Jacy (the woman who had the garden here before) and left her a message! It doesn't take much to excite me! I love those squash sauteed in a little butter and sprinkled with parmesan! The whole reason I went out to the garden was to map it out. I had a clipboard and paper in hand and just penciled in what I planted where. It will help me to remember in the future so I don't plant members of the same family in the same spot 2 years running. This is all new to me since I've not had a vegetable garden of my own to tend in over 20 years. Lots of stuff is coming back to me though. I suppose it's like riding a bike!
Oh........I ate my first Sungold tomato too! I call them garden candy! |
