Go Green

So far, I've had the most wonderful Holiday with family and friends.  Even our cat enjoyed her toys with a sprinkling of catnip.  I've had a sugar high caused by too many cookies from our dear neighbor's baking.  Furthermore, I've been in the kitchen cooking, tasting, and sampling.  Something has got to give!



Oh,my! 

The New Year's Eve is coming up in just a few days and with the  new beginning in sight, it is also time for the resolutions.  Let's be reasonable and make a few that we might be able to keep.

My one and only resolution is to Go Green.  OK, throw in a little color too.  The Back Forty garden was covered with weeds but my husband and I cleaned out the established weeds and it wasn't long thereafter when new weeds started a vigorous growth.

I decided that it would only be feasible to weed out and prepare the rows that were needed.  It turned out surprisingly well.  Now we weed as we go along, leave the weeds between the rows and use it as green manure.  Voila!

Our harvest is a continuation of pf Green Mustard and also the Red Mustard.  They are so easy to grow and these greens are so nutritious.  They are loaded with vitamin K and that is what we need the most.  A serving a day helps our blood from clotting and flow properly.  They are the most welcome vegetables in our garden and our cardiologist agrees.  Eat more leafy greens, he says.

 

On Christmas Day, we ended up harvesting some of our broccoli before it would burst out in blooms.  I have yet to cut this up into nice florets, blanch them, cool them, bag them, and put them in the freezer for later.

All I can say is that God has been good to us for letting us have a most giving and nutritious garden.

Let us be better stewards in the coming year.  Hmm!  Another resolution to keep.

Blessings and Healthy Eating for the New Year.

Go Green!
