eating our yard

After a morning of painting, and chicken coop improvements we put together and then ate a great lunch that was mostly from our own yard.

Tomato sanwhich
fried potatoes
corn on the cob
sauteed kale, red pepper,onion and Chanterelle mushrooms

 The Kale is from the front yard
The Chanterelle mushrooms from the woods behind the house
We have potato & tomato plants growing in many different places.
Onions grow next to the kitchen
Peppers grow down in front.  So does the corn & cucumbers

Kale and Chanterelles.

For desert there is fresh fruit from the farm, peaches, cantaloupe, watermelon, canary melon, nectarines, & plums.
Because of the limited sun we get here our peaches and apples are still a ways from being ready to eat.  Most of our vegetables take as much as 4 weeks longer to ripen than the local farms.
After finding out that I am a vegetarian (who tends toward being vegan) people have asked me, "What do you eat?"  Really?  There is so much to be eaten and enjoyed.  For dinner it was burritos with beans and rice and squash and peppers in a tomato and onion sauce topped with fresh scallions and cilantro.  Really?  what do I eat?  I eat lots, and enjoy it all.
