First Tomato

13 July 2009

First tomato from the garden today. I split it with the boys. Small but good flavor.

Harvested and used in salad yet more purslane and kale today. I made a big salad, put on some Italian dressing, then put a big hamburger with a slice of cheddar on top. Divine! We’ll definitely be planting more kale.

Tomorrow I want to have some collards and swiss chard cooked. And probably purslane too.

I ask myself, what if our garden was all we had? And I’m apalled by the thought. We’re miles and miles from any kind of self-sufficiency. Could we even come anywhere near on our little bit of land? It hardly seems possible.
