What did you eat today - that you grew?

I had to pick these Oro Blanco grapefruits in today, I saw evidence of something eaten one. So they are a bit green but I take no chance by leaving them out there. I will make some sort of grapefruit and arugula salad. Last year it’s a hit with my family, especially serving it with very fatty fish like swordfish.

Ate the last of my Fuji apples yesterday. It was a small one, still quite crisp and good. I’m sure they’d keep thru January if I didn’t eat them all first.

I left these onions in the ground last year. I just pulled one up today, 3 very nice and fat green onions.

@Luisport … I ran out of persimmons a few weeks back. That looks so good.

Hope I get to try one of those some day.

That’s an old cress, no more little cress, I’m trying to get rid of them.

My wife asked for lasagna for her birthday. Spring never came this year, so we didn’t do a vegetable garden, but she planted some collard seed in the summer.

We didn’t have spinach, so I used collards with the ricotta.

Olive oil, salt, pepper flakes, low heat, covered until tender. They are delicious like this, if I was cooking as a side, I’d have added splash of vinegar and some smoked paprika.

Flavor was subtle, but texture was good, and added nutrition:

Also used oregano from the yard.

Hi :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve been missing out on this thread. I have no photos to add right now, but I just started some sprouts yesterday that should be ready in about 5 days. Also, the snow is supposed to melt by Saturday or so, so I’m planning to go out to see if I can dig up some turnips. Other than that, I’ll have a few eggs that my chickens laid for supper. :slight_smile:

Got my leaf lettuce thru the deep freeze (low of 3F) with incandescent Christmas lights.

This morning temps are at 36 now and rising with sunshine. I just uncovered them for the first time in 4 days.

We have 10 day forcast now that looks good for leaving them uncovered. Looks like we may continue eating fresh leaf lettuce into January… love it !!!
