Happy Mabon!

Sidewards view of Monday's garden harvest: carrots, cauliflower, beans, lettuce, chives, rhubarb, celery, lemon cukes, lots of little tomatoes, berries, and eggs. 4 eggs/3 chickens, go figure? We figured a harvest picture was perfect for Mabon, the autumnal equinox when day and night are equal. Mabon is the second of the Celtic harvest festivals. We celebrated with lamb shepard's pie, a tomato salad, and harvest pie (mixed berry with apples and rhubarb). Delish.

Alexander's outstanding salsa. Our favorite way to use extra peppers, tomatoes, and cilantro.
When good kids go boring! Thanks Nintendo!
Moving day in the garden.Today, we moved some of our warm weather plants into the new green house. In went the orange tree, eggplant, a cherry tomato, a jalapeno, a lemon cuke, a squash, all the basil plants. We also set a big pan of tomatoes to ripen in the windows.
As promised awhile ago, a view of the new and improved shower. We still have some minor touch-ups and painting to do.
Enchiladas on September 16th. Happy Independence Day Mexico!
Side dishes for the enchiladas: a huge garden salad complete with flowers and cherry tomatoes and a citrus berry fruit platter. Yum!
What's this smiling girl pointing to?
Last Wednesday's farm box: avocados, lobster mushrooms, onions, pears, oranges, limes, nectarines, potatoes, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, apples, and more mushrooms. We used the lobster mushrooms in a mushroom spaghetti carbonara. Awesome!
