Harvest Time

Looking out the kitchen window this noon, I realized I needed to harvest parts of the garden before the vegetables went to flower.  The neighbors were excited to get a head of broccoli that was the equivalent of three when purchased in the grocery store.  God has been a good provider for our winter crop, especially being we have not spent much time tending to it.



Not only was I able to share with the neighbors, but I used three of the heads to make a broccoli salad which I took to a pot-luck Epiphany party for dinner.  The guests raved about the flavor of the broccoli, and wanted to know where I acquired such perfect floweretts.  Imagine their shock when they learned it came right from my backyard!  If you want to see the garden, look at an earlier post from Thanksgiving.  These vegetables are yielded from those plants.  We still have several more plants to harvest in the upcoming weeks.  Most people don't realize with a bit of careful planning, you can have your own abundant garden from the privacy of your own backyard.  Does it save money, maybe, but knowing where the food comes from, and the chemicals that aren't used makes it much healthier to eat. :)
