Home Grown Lunch

OK it's nearly a home grown lunch. The soup is curried Squash soup made from frozen garden squash but of course the spices are not home grown. The Salad has home grown greens with dried cherry tomatoes. Also present is home dried bananas, I dry them when they start to get too ripe and the are perfect and free of all the additives you get with store bought dried fruit!

Growing Soil

I've actually grown my soil! I started my garden just 2 years ago with some small mostly sandy, lifeless soil. I've added many layers of compost, mulch and a bit of organic components. And just the other day as I was planting cauliflower seedlings I found an earth work in my garden bed!

I'm pretty darn excited! I've managed in only two years to turn what would pass as beach sand into loamy, brown living soil. Did I say I'm excited? I just thought it would take more then two years. Can't wait to see how the cauliflower do!
