Growing Some Food

It's so enjoyable to grow some of the food needed for my home. We call it our One Mile Diet, as a nod to the Hundred Mile Diet that works so well around this island.

Our One Mile Diet includes strawberries and fresh greens for salads and stir-fry dishes. We have tasty beets and parsnips, and all the onions and garlic we'll ever need. Some of our hanging baskets hold fresh herbs.

We have plenty of runner bean seeds to share with anyone who wants some! These runner beans grow quickly with pretty flowers. The beans can be eaten young as green beans or left to ripen for cooked beans in chili.

Three of our neighbours have eggs for sale, so our One Mile Diet is bigger than expected!
