Observations from gardening...

Our garden has begun to produce a fair amount of vegetables. Something I have noticed is the savings gained by growing your own food. If we don't use the vegetables fairly quickly they will be no good. I have noticed on a few occasions when we would have had to make some sort of side dish we have been able to use vegetables from our garden. Another thing... it is crazy the way people light up when you give them food. Carrie and I have given the people across the street cucumbers and a zucchini bread and they love it. It is great to see people happy simply by giving them a vegetable. I can see how communities were developed back in the day when everyone was growing and sharing food.


Carrie made this zucchini bread. The loaf in the middle has poppy seeds on it.
