We harvested turnips (radishes, duh! we were talking about turnips and I totally typed that instead. I am not that dumb, promise!!) today too. We were so excited to see these things grow from seeds. We are enjoying salad with fresh turnips.
We are excited to be "living off the land". We have green beans, peas, carrots, squash, cucumbers, zucchini, lettuce, spinach, onions, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, cabbage and beats. Plus, we have a peach tree, apple tree, rhubarb and grapes! Oh and raspberries and strawberries too! We have plans to can, dry or freeze everything we don't eat. It has really helped defer the rising food prices and helped us build up our food storage. We are doing well and have a plan of what we have to buy regularly to keep our supply fresh. I am so grateful for the desire to have food storage and things for emergency preparedness. I am more prepared than I have been in the past and with the flooding in Iowa where my family is, it really made it hit home more than it has before. I am preparing for when the time comes and I need it. I am grateful for it and I have a testimony of the blessing of being prepared and ready when the time does come.
