We are enjoying the vegetables from our small organic garden. The taste is more than pure. The green differs with the variety of leaves. Intense contrast with the red soil.
Although we have to take care of extended families of ants our first season is more than productive. Absolutely gorgeous to walk out into the garden, while cooking and pull out and bring in the carrots, the fennel, the parsley, green salad, radish, chives, rocket. The lemons cocooning in their tree, calmly, oversee the modest gardening.
For a nice salad composition.
Fresh chopped parsley and chives mixed with the rocket and a dressing of olive oil, pressed lemon and Parmesan cheese!
David from Amsterdam, who helped us last October with the set up of our small garden told me that vinegar (ants don't like the acid) is the ultimate solution against ants. I tried this and it helps, at least a little. Must be great to be a farmer, walking on your land, surrounded by nature. Precious balance between human and mother earth. My uncle, my mom's brother was a farmer and unless his 80 years it's his passion. The man and the farmer became one soul. Although he can't hardly walk anymore, he makes his strolls over his land almost every day. He never traveled, his life was meant to be lived close to his crops.
