The Blog “From Seed to Table” has a most amazing summary of what Michelle has grown, harvested and processed this past summer in California.
What makes it even more interesting is that what she is harvesting is just about the same foods that we are planting now and hopefully will be harvesting in the near future.
I am certainly going to try several of her recipes including her November 30th post recipe for
Slow Roasted or is it Quick Dried Chile Peppers.
Please check out this blog for new ideas of how to preserve and use summer produce.
Congratulations Michelle and thankyou for such a great blog.
The photos below were taken last summer in our garden.
Many South Australia gardeners are still planting up peppers, eggplants and chillies.
Others here are harvesting zucchinis, lettuce, spinach, onions, radishes, rocket, basil, artichokes and the last of the broad beans.
Tomato bushes are flowering and some folks are already picking early tomatoes. Beans, cucumbers and figs are growing nicely.
It is apricot, berry and cherry harvest time in South Australia and fresh platters of mixed berries are appearing on dinner tables.
Eating local, organic and seasonal food is exciting. There is always some favourite fruit or vegetable reappearing at the dinner table.
There is always the anticipation of different things to grow, harvest and preserve.

Oh, how wonderful - you're just beginning what I think is the most exciting time of the gardening year. But, as Michelle's blog reminds you and yours reminds me, the gardening year doesn't end and we're preparing for summer here in the northern hemisphere. One of the great things about garden blogs is being reminded of this by gardeners all over the world!
Michelle does have a wonderful blog. I've learned quite a bit from her. And, it's just gorgeous to look at too!
