Tomorrow is June 1st. Tomorrow starts living off the garden. Looking at the garden, this looks like a recipe for disaster. There is nothing ready for consumption yet. That is except some great mesclun, collards, parsley, cilantro, and one strawberry. Hmmm. So where's my farmer's market that is open to tide me over. Brookie-Wookie's opens tomorrow while we are on the road. Quandry #1.
But who cares. Let's talk gardening plan and perameters.
Gardening plan goes like this- organized by growing month.
Collards and herbs,
Edamame, peas
Romaine and mesclun lettuces,
Strawberries and Rasberries,
Kentucky green beans,
Pinto beans,
Snack pepeers,
Pablamo peppers,
Tomatoes,
Squashes (zuchinni, patapan),
Eggplant,
Radishes, and
Beets.
Not bad, not bad, not bad. We can work with that. So tonight, what's for dinner. It goes like this.
We have turnip, mesculan, parsley, leftover potatoes and sage. Mix this up with soup broth topped with a boiled egg and we have a delicious Poland meets Jeruselum meets Lebanon meets Brookfield borscht soup. Okay, this can be done. All with a slice of Noah's homemade bread.
Now for the parameters of Gardening a Little Brick-e. They are wide, broad and open to accomodate for travels and potential pass out potential from starvation! I eat out of the garden from June 1st until its all done or damaged from bugs, weather, etc. Supplementation for nutrition can only come from other people's gardens or the farmer's market in order to have some grains. The following items are allowed in the experiment simply because I refuse to give them up: coffee, alcohol, and rice cakes. Hummus will have to be homemade from organic beans bought from anywhere in their organic, closest to real form. Whole Foods here we come! While traveling, I will try to eat from farmer's markets or stands we find along the way and this I suspect will run the gammet from Michigan peaches, cherries, to homemade farm peanut butters. Eggs will come from the Clevenger's and their backyard chickens or from Swingbelly at the market. That'll do it. Let's the experiment begin.
