What do you eat, and how do you get your food? Part 2


Ir and E planted our first round of sweet corn this week. We look forward to eating it, hopefully, in three months. Vegetables from our garden have also included: beans, swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, other dark green leafies, fennel, basil, tomatoes, onions, okra, eggplant, cucumbers, and a couple small peppers. The garden is not our primary source of vegetables since the yield has not been very high, but it has been a helpful supplement. We are still trying to figure out the growing seasons, which are quite different from N America. Hopefully, our next round of planting will be more successful.

Is fennel that stuff that tastes like black licorice?

I think you're right, but I also think the "bulb" part at the base is extremely tasty, and it tastes more mild.

By the way, Tara, how is the seed-saving coming along?

yes - fennel is sort of sweet, tastes like licorice...it gives a flavorful and decorative touch to salads and other things....

Our House Part 2

And here is more of a straight-on view. The porch is screened in and potentially very useful, though we often prefer the front door. Our vegetable garden is behind the house, but you can see even the front has plenty of trees and vegetation... thanks to our gardener's daily watering from well water. We are thankful to be safely back here after a very nice vacation with family in August.
