We spent an hour in the garden weeding, pruning the maple tree, and picking. We harvested the last of our rhubarb and Chinese cabbage, as well as lots of parsley, cilantro, greens, lettuce, chives, some strawberries, sage, rosemary, and a single tiny radish. We also collected 3 beautiful big brown speckled eggs from the the cluck sisters today.
What to do with all this bounty?
We had the eggs with whole grain toast for breakfast this morning. The strawberries and rhubarb will be turned into syrup for Wednesday's breakfast pancakes.I had a big leafy salad with herbs for lunch. Alex and Anni made noodle soup, with chives and cilantro added. We also used lettuce and cilantro with our burritos for dinner. The greens are for dinner tomorrow. And the remaining herbs will either be made into sauces, frozen in stock cubes, or dried.
Down on the funny farm, we try to use what we harvest. We have a lot of sweat equity invested in that food!
