first food 2023

I’m eating a stir fry made from the above veggies I fresh picked from the plants today (except for the blackberries, which I called dessert and ate first.)  The peppers were grown from the 5 seeds I got from the library.  Nothing tastes better than food you’ve grown from a seed.  Nature is generous and…
