Meaghan and her eldest son stopped by last week to showcase our first harvest: zucchini squash and swiss chard from our garden. We are overjoyed!
When I tasted her zucchini bread, I was even more delighted. It was moist and rich tasting. Absolutely delicious! I am working on getting you a copy of her recipe (…hint hint).
It is shocking to look at how much it costs for fresh produce compared to growing your own food. Seeds can be free at a local exchange or less than $2 for a package of seeds or seedlings. Water is them most costly component but rain barrels provide a significant offset.
If you haven’t thought about growing your own food, maybe start with an herb garden in a container that you can keep in the kitchen.
