Harvest Monday

One crop which i have been gleefully harvesting is potatoes.



Tubers planted in last years compost/pumpkin tank, and covered with lots of rotted down lucerne mulch and straw from the chook pen.


Some of these potatoes went into making one of my favourite meals.


                                            potato, flour, Parmesan cheese, salt and egg yolks.






A simple tomato sauce with home grown tomatoes, garlic and onion and topped with a little chopped parsley and basil................



Head over to Daphne's Dandelions and see what else has been harvested today around the globe.
