State of the Garden
With the invasion of arctic air, I needed to harvest most of the remaining beans, peppers, and cherry tomatoes.
Some beans were dry, most were still fresh shell beans, and a few handfuls were still tender as green beans.
Garden Mandala for Lakshmi
I had intended merely to get some lemongrass for tea. Jai Lakshmi.
Welcome Home
I welcomed myself back home with lentil wheat berry soup I made and froze before I left to go on vacation, including yoga retreat and study with Cyndi Lee, with just-picked from the still reasonably abundant garden, kale, garlic chives, and a mild jalapeño pepper added in.
