first local asparagus of the season!

i just got home from the trout lake farmers' market - with my first local asparagus of the season - grown @ in season farms in abbotsford.
i am excited!
i can already taste my dinner of fresh asparagus lightly grilled on the barbeque with fresh lemon, salt & pepper. the brown bastmati is soaking now - for cooking later & i will harvest some fresh salad greens & radishes from the garden to complete the meal.

life is good.

Celebrate Biodiversity Day - May 22, 2009

International Day for Biological Diversity is a chance to celebrate the plant and seed diversity that's critical to the world's food supply. By planting many crop types - varieties that are resistant to different growing conditions, diseases, and pests - farmers all over the world ensure there's always food on the table. USC Canada and our partners are striving to protect that diversity in every country where we work.
