Satisfaction

 

 Mrs Hades has green things growing.

Today we chopped up a zucchini and cooked it with chicken. Then we went out and harvested onions and scallions. I have several large red tomatoes on my window sill getting redder.

Part of our gardening experience has just been seeing what we can make grow. There is a surprisingly large amount of things you buy at the grocery store that you can harvest seeds from and grow on your own. Among the other things we are now growing are cantaloupes, spaghetti squash, spinach, and garlic.

We also have blueberry bushes and grape vines. We had Muscadine grapes growing wild and there is a persimmon tree in the front yard, but we planted Concord grape vines and we have a couple of bunches of those growing nice and big. There is also a blackberry bush in the back yard that has grown up by itself. We also have various spices such as rosemary, sage and peppermint. 

There is something pretty satisfying about eating produce you have grown yourself.
