We have blueberries this year!

Fun with peas. What more can I say.

 

The idea of peadom comes from the escaping peas we used to get at dinner time. Surely you know what I mean - the peas that seem to jump off your plate when you put your fork into them.

 

So when this happens in our house, one of the kids pipes up and shouts "peadom!".

Fresh from the garden

Rhubarb growing on the Allotments Dog Kennel Lane

The Asparagus Beetle.

 

Here they are on the tip of my asparagus spear cavorting in an orgy of feasting and copulation.

Little rotters.

Something magical about a small container popping some fresh greens. I grew this and had a wonderful asian wok mix in just 3 weeks. The cool thing about the seed I used is I was able to harvest off it a few times before I got tired of the 'tree' form it was making and decided to start over the magic again!

My boy proudly presenting some of the chilli peppers we grew together in out garden. We harvested these, six types of tomatoes, baby carrots, late strawberries, and scallions yesterday, and they are all yummy. They go well with the home-grown cucumbers, onions, and potatoes. We are content.

Plantbased food for plants and humans

A few weeks ago while cleaning a butternut squash from its seeds I put some of the seeds in the soil of some almost gone basil plants. Didn't expect anything from it but yesterday I saw one tiny plant. Today it got a pot with fresh compost. The miracle of mother nature ... Lentekriebels for me!

Ah! The wonderful long summer of 2014
