HomeGrown Dinner

Dinners here in the Valley are pretty darn good. Almost every night, everything on the table is HomeGrown, from meat to fruit.

Homegrown pork, cauliflower, garlic scapes, strawberries

A lot of evenings we skip the carbs and just have fresh garden veggies with some meat. That Pork roast came from one of our pigs (last year). The Gman carved the roast into 4 Pork steaks and we enjoyed those for a couple of meals.

Add a head of cauliflower and some steamed Garlic Scapes and call it Delicious! Dessert was freshly picked Strawberries. The Berries are having a great year, with all the extra rain we have been having.

I think the Veggie Garden has been watered only 3 times since we planted in May. Seriously. 3 times. Almost every day we have some rain.

Strawberries, fruit

We have plenty of Strawberries this year. Soon the wild Saskatoon Berries should be ripe and we can start picking. Two years ago, it was a great Berry year and we managed to pick 70 pounds of Saskatoons. Free, and it was fun going out to the bushes to find them. Do you glean free Berries from the Wild?

    Down here in Texas we have Dewberries growing wild. Every year you see families along the road sides with boots, sticks (for stickers and snakes), and buckets.

    We’re getting close to 100% homegrown, too…it’s so wonderful! I’ve been watering every other day…even though is has been milder here than last year.

    When I was a kid I used to pick blackberries. I haven’t done anything like that in years.
