Only Two Things That Money Can't Buy

Partial Bounty For the Day

Yesterday's lunch picked straight from the garden.

Fresh veggies light on the salt, heavy on the pepper. Lots of vitamins but lacking on the protein level. Instead of the crackers, a piece of good dark rye bread would have been good. I topped it off with a couple of mission figs and a piece of dark chocolate for dessert. The tank goes empty pretty quick without any meat or cheese on the plate but as long as there's an abundance of veggies to be had, just slice another tomato. I'm definitely going to look into extending the growing season - either some type of cover for the Square Foot Garden boxes, a cold frame or a small greenhouse. The feast or famine schedule with the garden just doesn't get it. A big yellow bell pepper at the grocery the other day was $1.79. That's each. With a little creativity, I should be able to have a nice variety of fresh veggies at least five or six months out of the year.

Give it spin. Probably be the best two minutes and forty-four seconds you'll spend today.

Have a great weekend.
