The four older children blessed the family by picking nearly 100 lbs of strawberries at a local U pick farm. We spent a few days canning and freezing delicious sun ripened berries. So grateful!
We also picked up 20 pounds of oranges and made a few batches of marmalade
Ryan and Grant made three raised beds for us out of some materials we had laying around
Here the girls plant some herbs
The tomato plants are getting bigger!
In addition to the veggies we are anticipating from our raised beds, we are also receiving lovely organic veggies from a local farm where some in our family are working weekly. That has offset our lack of space and variety here at the rental.
One of our favorite dishes currently is roasted veggies~ we just chop up the carrots, beets, turnips and onions and put them in a 9x12 pan with olive oil, salt and pepper. Simple but oh so yummy!
