Although the pumpkins were the most fun to grow, our vegetable garden did produce a plethora of food for us all. I was very proud of our bounty and used the final produce to feed my Zeta sisters while they were here.
Beets…prepared by My Loving Spouse…boiled with just a hint of vinegar.
If you’ve never had fresh beets, you’ve never really had beets at all!
Buttered carrots…
Green beans to which he added almonds…
Cabbage, cabbage, cabbage…huge heads of which we made a salad.
Cabbage, layered with grated soft cheese, dried cranberries, pecans and drizzled with honey.
So good, it was gone in seconds!
Waste?
Not with this many animals about…
Chickens eat zucchini raw.
Horses like carrots, even the odd-shaped ones.
Pigs eat almost everything else, but the cabbage..
it goes to the cows.
Agnes loves cabbage!
She ate all the cabbage parts not suitable for humans…
She prefers hers without nuts…

Update:
Here is the Cabbage Salad recipe
(all the credit goes to Green Lite Bites)
100g of shredded green cabbage
25g chopped raw spinach
1 oz grated jack cheese, grated
1/2 oz raw pecans, chopped
10g dried cranberries
1/2 tbsp honey (10g)
put together in layers and drizzled with honey
Isn’t it great creating dishes with veggies you have grown yourself? They just taste better.
Kind of amazing.
Echo of Peggy O: put it up for all to see (and copy).

You got it! Updated the site and it is a great salad!
Roasted Beets
1 lb. beets cut into 2″ cubes
1/4 C orange juice
1/4 C soy sauce (or balsamic vinegar)
1 tsp. (or less, to taste) garam masala spice
Roast in a glass pan for about 45 minutes (check at 30 minutes for your desired degree of softness) at 350 degrees. Yum!
Yummmmmm, love my beets! Sounds great, Stacy!
Ellen,
I’d love your cabbage recipe! Cabbage is the only thing that I grew this season that is eatable and I have not a clue what to do with it.
Hugs,
Peggy O
You got it!
