This is what my garden looks like through my window right now. But I can still feed myself from it. I am making chicken pot pie. This will use up the stock from the carcass, and the rest of the meat.
Potatoes and onions are in the cold room. Those will go in. Note to self- this is the last of the onions, put on shopping list. And plant more this year.
Plenty of carrots, peas, corn and green beans in the freezer. Those will go in.
Chicken pot pie is one of my favourite ways to use my garden produce.
I am making a yam biscuit for the top.
Note to self, try planting celery and yams this year.!

I never arrived to grow celery here, carrots and peas no problems, but the celery seems to dislike my garden.
. I'll have to see if I can get some menu select seeds from our favorite restaurants

Yum. I made cuz soup this or last week and each day I've had some I've lost weight so I'm thinking of making more. But noon is from my garden.
I like pot pies too and would enjoy one with you later.

Good that you have enough produce from your garden there. We get produce throughout year though some are seasonal. It's so fulfilling to harvest our garden grown produce.

@LowRiderX our yard is pretty flat, so that is me not holding the phone carefully
That is a frozen pasture beyond our yard.

@paigea You are welcome!! I know that 100% beauty cannot be transferred from live to photography.. is your garden on a gentle downhill? And is that part behind the bushes, water? It looks like a frozen lake..

@paigea Oh I thought maybe you did something like that. It sounds really delicious actually.

@ScribbledAdNauseum it is delicious, IMHO.
I used to have a doughnut recipe that had mashed yam in the dough also.

I love when I see people grow their own food! I hope you have a very productive garden once winter is over.

@paigea We haven't had a seed shortage here in Florida that I've noticed. I was just in our local Home Depot and they had just set up their seed packets rack, and it was full of just about every kind of seed imaginable. But, like you said, so many more people are gardening now.

@paigea It's a real nuisance as so hard to protect crops from them and they damage the leaves and work their way down to the base/bulb. It means garlic and onions can't be stored (although they are ok to eat straight away) and leeks - which I'm rather fond of - are a total loss.
