A lot of planning and effort has gone in to get a bountiful Organic Vegetable Harvest during June and July. My husband has been at it since autumn last year by planting some of the vegetables which would be ripe for this summer harvest. There is a lot of learning curve in store for us yet to enable us to get more productive in the coming years in order to have a more efficient and productive organic vegetable harvest for the future too. I will try to summarize as much as I can into this post.

Vegan stir fry wok noodles

I like to experiment with recipes especially vegan. A great Vegan lunch idea is Chinese vegan stir fry wok noodles to serve your guests on a short notice and make it look exotic as if you were a chef. It has been one of my favorite and fool proof recipes for some time. Its a great Vegan lunch complete with fresh green salad.

Wild Garlic Pesto Recipe (Bärlauch Pesto)

by Chitra S. 7. May 2018

While enjoying a wonderful warm spring afternoon, we decided to take a walk and go foraging in the near by woods with my 8 year old daughter and her friend. Spring in the mid of April would be the right time to pick Wild Garlic for a Pesto Recipe. It grows in abundance and is native to Europe. We picked a few bags and I made a pesto at night after preparing the leaves.
