My garden is just starting to produce with zucchini, some cherry tomatoes, a few beans, and today I stole out a couple of potatoes when I was hilling them. My cucumbers are staying tiny and I really hope they start growing; cucumbers from a real greenhouse taste so fantastic! If we can just get some real heat here in Faro, my garden is going to be top notch this year!

wait....fireweed jelly?? I have some in the corner of my yard, which surprised me since it's urban and south, but I can eat it? Recipe?
YES!! Here is the recipe. Make sure to use the powdered pectin though- it doesn't set well with the liquid pectin.

Thanks! It looks beautiful, and since I have no garden this year ( :( ) I am welcoming any ideas for using what is in the yard. I suspect I don't have enough, but it's an excuse to get out and find more!
Those little strawberries look sooooo good!
I like this idea, grow your own food ;)
