Food Evocative Food

Food evokes emotions of farm life, raising animals, planting seeds.  I've always have been a bit barn hearted. 



So instead, I go to the Farmers Market . . . 


. . . and ogle the produce . . .


. . . and dream of farm life . . . 


and then dream of cooking it . . .


which always brings me back to the beauty of growing things . . .


so today,  I planted some winter crops in my kitchen garden . . .


into gorgeous black compost . . 



Just add the soaker hose and sunshine.

I planted spinach, cabbage which is friendly with beets so they are next to each other, and kale which is nearby, and swiss chard which is agreeable too . . . 55 days till harvest.
