One of hubby's joys is our ever growing garden. He seems to glean much pleasure from working out there with his hands. And then reaping the benefits from his physical toils.
This year we have corn, green peppers, collards, red lettuce, tomatoes, onions, spaghetti squash, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes. The peppers are being picked and the onions being pulled. We are waiting on the tomatoes, both cherry and regular. The corn is an experiment as is the spaghetti squash.
We have been eating the collars and have made stuffed green peppers already. We have had many salads with our red lettuce. He is currently in search of a tiller to make it just a little bit bigger.
When I think about all the work it takes to get just a couple meals of vegetables, it really does make me wonder how on earth people survived when there were no refrigerators or grocery stores. I guess they had the barter system, my lettuce for your tomatoes. Which, I think is kind of cool.
Spaghetti squash is on the menu for tonight . . .
