Let's Just Say We Can't Stop Buying Food Yet...
What a tease!! I plucked the first strawberry of the season from one of the plants on my balcony, and it was absolutely delicious - all 1/4 bite of it! Yup, it was pretty small. Below is a photo I took before I gobbled it down. I take some consolation in the fact that I got to it before the birds did...

Eating Light
Gotta love blogging. No minimum word count: write as little as you want. Seeing as how I have sooooo many photos to edit and so little time, here's a quick note about our "low carbon" dinner:
(lol... "low carb." ??)
Tonight my kids had what many would think of as snack food: sliced apple with peanut butter, cut up avocado, cheese slices, grapes and carrot, all raw.
Not perfectly green, mind you, because some of the ingredients were shipped from afar, and some of them were purchased by my hubby via car, but hey... there was no cooking involved, and the carrots, avocado, apples, and grapes where bought by me, shopping on foot :-)

Finally... strawberries!!!
Only two so far, but it's a start. I was beginning to think the plants would never produce fruit.
I wish now that I'd bought more (I have eight plants - six in pots and two in the main garden).
What I really need is more space!! This is ironic considering that we live on a lot that is almost double sized - you could fit another house behind ours. We have lots of kid stuff everywhere: swings, slide, sandbox, trampoline, playhouse, etc. I'm not the only person who lives here, so I can't just convert the back yard into one huge garden (lol, can you imagine!!).
As I write this, I'm looking out the window, trying to decide which corners of the yard I can take over and plant more food in...
