Just thought I post some pictures of my garden right now. I've decided to let most of the fava beans go to seed instead using them as a cover crop. I just don't have the room in my small lot and I think it would be more beneficial to save the seed for next year and also eat a lot of fava beans. :D One of the first recipes I'm going to try is one replacing the garbanzo beans in hummus for fava beans. I'll post that when I go through the process of making it. The sugar snap peas are starting to produce, I've had about a handful's worth. Japanese Red Carrots are starting to poke their head out of the ground. If you've never grown carrots for yourself, it's definetly worth it. It amazes me the taste between food you grow with love then the food massive farms grow with the use of harsh chemicals.
Vegetarians should all have a backyard vegetable garden, period. Not only recognize what is going on in the animal industry but what is going on in the farming industry. As a side result to industrial farming we have rapidly destroyed the environment by depleting the top soil and poisioning the soils and nearby water sources. Along with a bagful of others things that would take me a whole other blog to write about. Just do a simple google search. Anyways, enjoy the pictures. Happy Spring Planting!
