Great food!

broccoli

The limited garden spaces have yielded some great treats. This past week Sequoia cooked up some home made tomato sauce from our garden. We have different types of herbs as well as veggies growing.

I showed her the basics of canning and we put her sauce into ball canning jars, a process I grew up with. Last night we used the sauce for a home made pizza we baked in the barbecue. Baking in a barbecue is a process I learned here.

We have broccoli ready to eat and lots of chard. The lettuce and arugula is going to seed and hopefully we will get more room to plant. It’s a good feeling to know that the food you are eating is safe and healthy and you are able to share it with your neighbors and visitors. We have a star fruit tree that gives a lot of fruit every year that we plan to make jelly with next season. Sequoia had even made a creamy coconut milk that was great for cooking and mixing with iced rum.

Our location makes South Florida is the second largest agricultural region in the United States. We can grow almost anything here through out the year and everybody needs food. Gardening and canning are easy communal activities. Seminole is a perfect place for communal gardens. It would be so easy to grow enough to supply the restaurant and have extra to sell. When you consider the low lot rent, yearly room rates and the money you can save from growing food it makes sense to be here.
