Food off the grid. [View all]

We've been doing the organic garden again this year, twice the size of last year -- we're up to 25 x 40' this year. Maybe too much. We'll be donating stuff to the food bank. We're harvesting twice a day now. This is the afternoon basket...can't see all the green beans at the bottom, but we've got a few more heirloom tomatoes, some regular tomatoes, hot peppers, okra, cukes. We picked a couple of watermelons yesterday and gave them to the kids. Already have more spaghetti squash than we know what to do with, plus half a dozen acorn squash. And a pile of cucumbers that you wouldn't believe. It looks like pickles and relish for Christmas, everybody!
