Spiritual Salad


Amazing how you can start with an empty bowl and end with a feast. Unfortunately our annual garden party was postponed due to yesterday's rain, but luckily the few gardeners and guests that came anyways weren't deterred. With a little creativity we put together a spiritual salad (in the tradition of stone soup) made with veggies from the garden and offerings from our guests. The romaine, butterhead and red leaf lettuce went first, followed by grated carrots, baby red onions, peas, tomato, celery and cucumber.

It's comforting to know that, with all the challenges we face as urban gardeners, we can still come together and nourish both body and soul. Many thanks to everyone at the table yesterday for your contributions to the pot.
