In spite of the fact that the apricots and plums decided to take the year off, our yard is again providing us with tons of yummy eats this year.
GM made a large fruit salad last week and every thing in it came from our yard. Somehow we broke the 'Bonnie rule' by having something crunchy in it (apples), but that's ok with us.
Besides the satisfaction of being able to provide for ourselves, we really enjoy toiling in the yard and reaping the harvest.
Our salad contained strawberries, blueberries, some unknown wild berries that volunteer each season (blackberries?), apples (sorry Bon), oranges, and tangerines.
We have tons of tomatoes, and other veggies including onions, peppers (green & hot), broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts, zucchini, green beans, and snap peas (I think I got it all).
In addition to the stuff mentioned above in the fruit salad, we've planted honey dew, water melon, cantaloupe, and pumpkins.
When Shawna got here, we all spent some time in the yard harvesting goodies.
YUM!
Apples are okay if they come from your yard :) Especially in applesauce! YUM!! Good job with the posting parents :)
ReplyDeleteYay for a new post! I am so very impressed! The salad looks delicious - very sad about the plum and apricot tree though - those are my two most very favorite trees in the yard! Hopefully they will be better next year and I will plan my trip accordingly!!!
