We're getting ready to head out for our annual RV travels, but first I have to brag a little about our cute little garden. Ron planted mixed lettuce which we have been enjoying for months. I'm really going to miss eating lettuce right out of our own garden. It's one thing we consume that I know has no additives that will hurt us.
And today he dug up the bumper crop of carrots that he grew. Wow! Anybody have any carrot recipes?
I planted one tomato plant. It's a special breed of snapdragon tomato. Here Ron shows off our first tomato on March 29th.
Of course, now that they're really starting to ripen, we're leaving. I understand that the green ones will ripen if I put them in a paper bag with a green banana. Worth a try.
I've been trying to grow carrots forever!! They get about the size of my finger and no bigger!! Ron is da'man! So where you off to? Can't wait to see!!
ReplyDeleteMy folks always had a garden when I was growing up. Nothing like fresh veggies. Yes, where are you off to?
ReplyDeleteTry carrot cake. Or boil them and serve with a little mutter and some marmalade.
ReplyDeleteCarrot and Coriander soup. Easy to make, what you dont eat can be frozen. I too am looking forward to your travels.
ReplyDeleteGood job Ron; Mui planted tomatoes a few times before we got on the road. Really enjoyed eating them.
ReplyDeleteBoil some carrots lightly (al dente), then shred, drain, and let cool. Add some garlic to plain yogurt, mix it well, and then fold the carrots into the yogurt. Put in a serving dish and garnish as you wish. (Add salt to your taste.)
Safe travels, where are you heading?
ReplyDeleteNice that Ron had a garden to keep him out of trouble... ;c)
ReplyDeletelooks so good!
