Plus what you grow yourself always tastes a lot better than what's in the store. ❤

The harvest. The dinner.Honestly one of the most rewarding things in my life is being able to walk outside & pick actual food that I grew myself.

Gardening is hard. It's a lot of work & a very long wait for something that sometimes, despite your best efforts, might not even yield results.

But when it does, it feels amazing.

Fresh picked vegetables on a bamboo cutting board. Harvested this evening from my garden. Vegetables include a small head of broccoli (variety "Early Green"), a large Swiss chard leaf (variety "Rhubarb"), a small pile of snow peas (variety "Melting Sugar"), and an asparagus spear.</p><p>Additional notes: the broccoli could have been larger but it was just beginning to show signs of bolting and we're forecast for even warmer weather next week. So I went ahead and picked it. Even though it's small, I'll still get several meals from this one head.
A plate of fried rice on a bamboo cutting board.</p><p>Homegrown vegetables include broccoli, snow peas, swiss chard, asparagus and carrots. Note: the carrots are not shown in first photo because they were pulled up yesterday & already in the fridge. I forgot about them when I took the picture (lol).</p><p>Cooking details: One of my go-to meals that I eat all the time. It's my version of a cross between stir-fry and fried rice. The vegetables are lightly steamed, then cooked along with garlic, ginger, and eggs. Then quickly sautéed over high heat with white rice & soy sauce. Finished with fresh calamondin juice (also grown in my garden) squeezed over the top.
