I have been asked, “What do you do with the veggies you can’t eat?”
For the veggies that have overgrown, or we just can’t seem to eat or I’m too busy to can them, I feed them to my chickens. In return, they produce super yummy eggs. ❤️
On the menu today we have;
Zuchinni, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and okra seeds. I’ll probably throw in some lettuce that has bolted already from the garden once I go out there.
I also add paprika and hot pepper flakes to help with gut health and they are some happy, spoiled, and healthy chickens. 🐓

One of my favorite vegetables to grow is Okra. Not for the food, but for the flower. Isn’t it gorgeous?!??

Last nights dinner with fresh vegs from the garden. Lettuce, cucumber, basil, zucchini, and corn all grown from our backyard. If you think you can’t, know that you can!! Buy the seeds, plant and water. You will not regret it!

Today’s pick from the garden for lunch.
2 different lettuce leafs, purple and green basil and cucumbers. My tomatoes are not quite ready, but I normally would add those as well. Add chic peas and feta cheese. Top off with either Balsamic vinegar or tzatziki sauce and you have the perfect summer salad!! 🥗
