End of Season One

Hard as it is to leave Hardrock when the days are sunny and glorious (where is that gray and drizzle we constantly complain about?), we are closing up shop and heading to Bisbee. Not sure of the best thing to do with the vegetable garden, but we decided to follow Ruth Stout's advice, and mulch with lotsa hay. Maybe some of the veggies will be edible, or start growing again, in the spring. So that's the Season One cliffhanger...will the garlic survive? The leeks? And what will the cauliflower look like?

Our van refrigerator, as you may know, is not much more than a single cubic foot. Today was Road Food Prep Day. From our garden, quart-sized bags of carrots, salad mix, braising mix, turnips, and green beans. From the kitchen, roasted piggie, potato salad with lemon and pesto (thanks again, Konnie), and baba ganoush made from kabocha winter squash. I picked a few tiny summer squash and left those tiny yellow green beans on the vine.
