I guess it wasn't all...more harvest!

I posted last week that harvests were over, yet I was very pleasantly surprised that I was still able to get quite a few veggies out of the garden yesterday, and make three helpings of soup (one for Saturday, two for upcoming work week).

The onions have been a real source of delight for me.  I picked up dried cuttings (I guess that is what they would be called) from Home Depot, planted them back in April, and they produced bountifully.  I believe that this is the last of them.

I'm Especially Proud of the Onions

Last of the Zucchini, I Think

Supplemental Harvest 

Goal Update

1) Do not drive to work 3 days per week. 
2) Limit driving on weekends 
3) Eat one meal per week that is homegrown.


On week 4 of my goals (although have been bike commuting for years).  In the warmth and daylight of late August, the goals are remarkably easy, although I also understand that breaking away from automobile dependency, in particular, would seem like an impossible task to most.


Anyway, here's last Saturday's soup.  I follow the tomato basil soup recipe at allrecipes.com, but add zucchini.  

I also played with the video camera function on the phone and am embedding this clip of me arriving home.  I do understand that this is bad for the gate, and, perhaps bad for an unsuspecting cat hanging out on this side of the door, but what can I say?
