52 Blessings - Garden




Between the home-grown pork, beef, and chicken and all of the garden vegetables,
we eat really well around here.  

If you've ever raised what you eat, you understand that wonderful feeling of being self-sufficient.  It makes the potatoes taste sweeter and the meat more tender and flavorful.

We’re eating a lot out of the garden now: basil, parsley, chives, raspberries, potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, lettuce, spinach, peas, beans, squash, and peppers. The corn is on in town, too. Every meal has the potential to be good and cooking is easy when you have a garden out the back door.
