Thrifty Vegetables: Still Growing Our Own

This picture is from a couple of weeks ago. The produce is from our Community Garden. We've come a long way, and we'll only continue to grow (pun intended).

Right now my first Black Seaman tomato is finally ripening (after sitting green on the vine for a month, torturing me). I have plenty of bell peppers waiting for me in my garden plot and in pots at my apartment. I'm letting some more eggplants grow and I have tomatoes, eggplants, and bell peppers in the fridge ready to be sliced and eaten or frozen.

"Garden Scramble" from Ani Phyo's raw food cookbook. It's not very photogenic, but it was delicious and made from home grown veggies. She makes a variation of it on YouTube


Since it's actually easier to grow vegetables from Late August to November here in sweltering, humid North Florida I'm starting some fall seeds now. Tonight I'm going for:

- Tomatoes (Zapotec Pink Pleated, Black Seaman, Cherokee Purple, Stiped Roman. ONE of each)
- Nasturtrium
- Purple Basil
- Various mints
- Assorted Herbs (starting an herb bed at the community garden)

What are you growing this year? I can't wait to get back out to the garden and cultivate some more beauties.
