What We Grow
In the spring we have sugar snap peas, the kind of pea where you can eat the entire pod. These peas are one of my kids favorite dinners. They love to pick peas and strawberries for dinner. No plates or silverware needed. We also grow lettuces, baby carrots, onions, herbs, different varieties of spinach, many kinds of beets, turnips, pac choi, leeks and more.
Overwintered spinach with crimson clover cover crop.
Come summer we have the sweetest canteloupe you have ever tastest. You will not find it in the store because we don't pick it until it falls off the vine, ripe and juicy and ready for your table. Ours rarely make it in the house; the kids slam the lopes to the ground and scrape the inside with their hands or smoosh their faces into it. We also have many varieties of tomatoes, peppers, cukes, okra, eggplants.
Fall brings many of the spring crops again, in addition to winter squashes.
Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people that have come alive.
