It is winter in the southern hemisphere. In Santiago it gets cold at night, but during the day if the sun comes out, it can reach a decent temperature. Because of some sprinking rain we got over the weekend, the air was a bit cleaner today, the sun was out, and the sky was a bright blue. I am recovering from a cold bug, so it felt good to get some air outside.
So this was a piece of our Sunday in the yard.

Our winter garden. We could only grow a few thing: baby lettuce, spinach (with some swiss chard sneaking in) onions and leeks (which have been very slow), and radishes.
Little harvest: some swiss chard that I sauted with some olive oil and garlic... and the first little radishes I picked to make room for some others--which we had in a salad with some of the baby lettuce.
Is there anything quite so divine as something you grew yourself?
I hope your Sunday was happy!

Nope, nothing quite so divine.
I know the feeling, it has been raining nonstop way down south in Valdivia, and the sun finally found its way to us over the weekend. What a pleasant surprise! Your kids are adorable, and I am envious of your garden. We have purchased our first seeds and are getting ready to plant once it warms up a little.
no, there is nothing so divine! And I'm jealous. I could put in a container garden, but I won't. However, I'm available for all manner of pickling, preserving, cooking and eating! Glad you're feeling better!
Hello from a fellow southern hemisphere dweller! What a lovely garden you have... very jealous! Happy Sunday ;)
I wish I was talented enough to garden, or had the space! I've been reading a lot about veganism and eating organic and local and it would be so much easier if I could have a garden. Someday!
