RE: #ulog 25! Today's Treats on the Ol' Homestead
Awesome harvest, Lyndsay! I love the little veggies. To me, they do have a better flavour, a sweetness. I have yet to make a large batch of tomato sauce and just one small batch of salsa. The guys here eat them faster off the plants than I can collect them. Won't people buy eggs unless they are washed? I like my eggs just the way the Creator intended. Fresh from the bird, feathers and all. Fresh veggies are so much better than frozen or canned. I haven't quite got the four seasons growing down yet and a lot depends on our weather, but almost made it last year but we are too dry in our rainy season this year.
For new (ish) customers I always wash them, and once we get on familiar terms with each other I tell them the TRUTH about eggs, washing, and how the rest of the world rolls. I have one family who now wants them unwashed because of our conversations.
Bless them! hahah!! Less picking work for Mama Ceci!
I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to learn how to grow all year around in a completely different climate than you grew up in. Major experimenting would happen!
It is continual experimentation. Our soil is mostly sandy with rocks. So we have been slowly building up so things will grow...
