Salsa, Seeds, Fencing, & Fancy Cakes


The new raised bed, before and after transplanting the sunflowers.

This morning, Alex, Ari, and I went to the Sunday market in search of ingredients for a really good homemade salsa. We found big juicy tomatoes, jalapenos, red onions, & cilantro. They made for a very HOT salsa!

We planted seed trays with 131 seeds of 15 different types of veggies for our fall/winter beds. We started onions, leek, carrots, sage, cabbages, kale, broccoli-rabe, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, kale, spinaches, and zucchini. We'd better hurry and build that next raised bed!

We also extended the garden fence around the the new plotting area to keep critters out, mostly our veggie loving dog.

We also cooked with all our market and farm finds. We made veggie filled enchiladas to go with that spicy salsa. We make a fresh raspberry topped 2-layer cake for dessert. It was filled with our home preserved raspberry jam. Anni had 3 pieces! We also powered up the bread machine for a loaf of veggie bread. The kitchen smelled terrific!
