Hi Brooklyn1,

Looks yummy!

I'd have to stay a country mile away from the rice and
beans due to the Diabetes, which [brown] rice had
a big part in creating. That being said, what seasoning
did you use on your rice?

Homemade dressing????

How much of your salad came from your garden? My salads are
about half store bought and half garden (purslane,
tomatillo, cherry tomatoes, sometimes a cucumber)
when in season. I have rotten luck growing cucumbers.

Sometimes I will add a boiled egg to my salads. Doesn't
come out so good.

-T

Oh now you have gone an made me hungry!

I use Goya Sason, Penzeys Adobo, and several herbs n' spices, plus I
make it differently each time... sometimes with diced bell pepper and
diced canned tomatoes.

In summer probably more than half is from my garden.

I like egg salad but I don't add eggs to my garden salad, typically I
add canned beans, garbonzos are good, and often there's left over
steak or roast beef to slice in, cheese too, and cubes of hard salami
and pepperoni... kind of what's called a Chef's Salad. This past
summer I grew a ton of swiss chard, leaves are very good in salads,
diced stems are wonderful in soups. Chard is actually beets but just
the tops, no root. Sadly most folks tear off the beet tops and leave
them in the produce section... the manager will give me all the beet
tops I can carry for free and I take them all, better than spinach. I
haven't had much luck growing beets, grubs bore into them, I use no
chemicals... I much prefer dealing with canned beets anyway... I like
pickled beet salad too. I do well with cucumbers, I plant lots,
mostly kirbys as they have thin very edible skin and are wonderful for
fermented pickles... I don't care much for cooked pickles. My garden
is pretty large for a home garden (50' X 50') and each year I
experiment with some different crops. I add no fertilizers either, I
do my own composting and add that. The soil here in the Hudson valley
is very rich top soil and is between 3'-6' deep... my garden is
alongside a natural spring fed stream so I never need to water.
Vegetable garden is fenced, this is early May, not planted yet:

I pour about 7 to 14 of compost on it every year. Helps
somewhat.

I have a theory: folks don't eat vegetables because they

After local grown and my garden, I suddenly love vegetables!
Your salad sound to die for!

Still hungry after speaking to you. Mumble, mumble.

You must be a city boy, trout don't live in ponds... but there are

How is it cheating?


You are riding in it, instead of pushing it!

I want one! If and ever I get one, then it won't be cheating.
Life is unfair like that. :-)


Do you sell hay?


Can't be bothered, haying is dirty work


The farmers out here have services that come out and
do all the cutting and bailing. The organic farmers
get more cutting than the conventional ones.

Any trout in the pond?


You must be a city boy,


Oh now that hurts! :-)

trout don't live in ponds... but there are
trout in my creek... trout need moving water:


All the time. You need a depth of at least 15 foot
to keep the water cool enough and a good source
of oxygen for the water (constant winds will do that).

Here is an image of one of our prettier ones:

Gorgeous! Brook trout by any chance?


But I have carp and snapping turtles in my pond.


Carp ???? Oh no! They would make great fertilizer
for your garden.

A few of the local ponds have frankencarp (goldfish)
in them. Probably people releasing them, instead of
flushing them. They mess up the pond water clarity pretty
bad. There are rules against it, but not a lot of people
pay attention.

This land used to be all in hay, but I decided I like lawns better,
less noisy bugs and much less pollen. But I also own a 100 acres just
north of here in Albany county, a cattle farmer on that road hays that
land, some for his cattle but most gets shipped to the race tracks in
NYC. Hay is a big money crop in the northern Catskills.

Right now I'm mostly into pussy, saving the feral cats, I have a new
litter of barn kittens to care for. Adopt a couple of healthy well
fed rolly polly fur balls:

Those are some cute kitties. (Bear in mind, I don't like
cats, so it is a real compliment.)
