REAPING WHAT YOU SOW.
Possibly the only thing better than a home-cooked meal is a homegrown one. And although our dinner this evening wasn't comprised solely of our own food, it did contain a little chard and kale we grew together, picked together and prepared together excitedly––the first things we've eaten out of our garden this year! I suppose to a farmer, it's akin to the first dollar a new business makes, or the first time an artist sells a painting, book or record...and we felt like we'd done something spectacular. There will be much more food to come––hopefully innumerable dinners will spill from our gardens––but we wanted to hang this one up here on our blog, to frame it, to show it off to our readers: the first meal we grew as husband and wife, in our garden, together.- Jesse.
