Obtain a Yield

Usually we pick for our boxes on Mondays but as it was a long weekend we did the boxes today.We were off to a slow start trying to dodge the rain. Finally we managed to get it done without getting too wet. It's nice to see all the water lying around after such a hot and dry summer but it does make working in the garden difficult.

I found a little frog on the orange tree  while I was picking oranges for the boxes


Last nights dinner was home made pizza. Mark makes the base using sour dough. We added mushrooms, onion. capsicum from the garden and olives from our tree that we had previously preserved.

And tonight Mark was off to a meeting so we needed something quick and nutritious for dinner. I cooked Kitchari which is a rice and lentil dish to which I added whatever vegetables I had on hand.
