This afternoon I went to check out the local farmers market. A lot of the produce is exactly what's in my garden, but it gave me a chance to fill in where mine is less productive. At the Hutterite table I got 8 large slicing cucumbers for $1.00 and a large jar of honey for $5.00. Another farmer had leeks which I've never tried. If I like them I'll make room in the garden next year...so, what do I do with leeks???Thursday, August 6, 2009
More harvest
I wanted to make a beef stew in the slow cooker today but I was out of potatoes. Obviously, it was time to dig up one of my Yukon Golds in the garden. Aren't these beauties? I'm definitely planting more next year!

Leek and potato soup is awesomely easy to cook. I just steam leeks and potatoes blitz with some nice stock, season add cream if living dangerously or yoghurt! Eat with crusty bread!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
