First fruits

Before the hot weather causes it all to bolt (rhubarb is long bolted) we trimmed what we could for dinner tonight.   6 spinach and 6 chard plants are in the ground, more chard on the way, although with this heat I'm not sure how well it will do.

 

Gardening is a great way to get exercise, clear your mind, reduce your grocery bill, and help prepare yourself for financial or other problems you may encounter.  Being able to grow at least part of your food increases your independence and self-reliability - something this country needs more of.
