It’s working! It’s working!
Today we harvested the first leafy things from our new raised beds. I couldn’t be more excited! Leandro and my dad harvested lettuce leaves, and they also thinned the radishes.
Baby, baby…rinse and eat.
The freshness and flavor were mind-blowing (for the grown-ups, at least. Leandro tasted, and rejected, but nevermind…he will come around eventually…and at least he’ll never embarrass me on a Jamie Oliver program by not knowing his veggies and where they come from….). No recipe, just farm to mouth, and then farm to salad spinner, and a whisper of oil and vinegar.
Here, some quick pictures of our first draw, so you can celebrate with us.
Padushi and grandson, working together
- He didn’t like it (spit it out everywhere, in fact), but he tasted it. Willingly. And that is all I ask.
The grandson took out a bit more than we intended, but doesn’t it look nice?
Hot, Cheap & Easy 
¡Fantástico Natalia! Me encanta la foto de tu padre y Leandro en el huerto!!
Gracias, Giovanna! Estamos gozándolo de verdad…
Wow, your veggies look great already!
Thanks! This is thrilling (and yes, I am a nerd…)
I wouldn’t say that 😉
Go ahead, a consider it a badge of honor – I mean, is there anyone worth knowing who doesn’t have a nerdy obsession with something?
It’s cool, not nerdy 😉
