I'm pretty sure these are the veggies that ultimately turned me into a gardener. When I was a wee little kid, I disappeared into the garden, only to be found by my parents snacking on all the peas they had been growing. In my defense, I was pretty young and they were really good! We are quickly approaching the fall planting season for cool weather crops, and peas are an easy addition to your veggie garden. I have some helpful tips for growing your own sweet snacks, so come on over for a visit. Please feel free to tag a friend and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/08/01/peas . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #bees #pollinators #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening

In the right climate, figs produce an obscene amount of fruit. So much that you let the birds have a little, too. Thankfully they freeze and dry well, but better yet, they make an amazing jam. Greeks love figs, and when they're made into jam with golden honey, what's not to love?! The easy recipe is ready and waiting, so please be sure to tag a friend and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/08/19/fig-honey-jam . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #eattherainbow #eatrealfood #gardenharvest @chsugar

Welcome to the town of Microland, complete with the usual banks, gas stations, and even an airport! But what town would be complete without a car museum, an astronomy analysis center with telescope, and a taco shop? Time to move!! 😁😁 . . . . . #mostlygreek #kidsofinstagram #kidsthesedays #sillykid #funnykids #family #ilovemyson #sillyboy #gooutandplay #gooutside #playtime

Who picked a peck of pickled peppers? Why, you will! No special pre soaking, brining, liming, nothing! Just stuff them in a jar, pour over some brine and some seasonings, and wait! The waiting is actually the hardest part! Come on over for the instructions on making these tasty treats, and have a great weekend! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/08/21/pickled-wax-peppers . . . . #mostlygreek #greekcuisine #greekfood #foodblogeats #bestfoodfeed #noleftovers #seriouseats #damnthatsdelish #bestfoodfeed #igfoodies #tastethisnext #foodnation #mediterraneandiet #goodfoods #eatrealfood #gardentotable #greek #greeks #cookingfromscratch #mycommontable #madefromscratch #easyrecipe #instarecipe #nowaste #urbanhomestead #foodpreservation

Long before sourdough was a "thing", it was the ONLY thing, and it was really an easy thing. Early bakers learned that under the right conditions, flour and water became a living tool that would allow a blob of dough to become a hearty and delicious form of sustenance. This recipe combines the classic Greek touch of olive oil into a rustic, village style bread that is perfect for all your bread needs! Come on over for a visit and to get the recipe, and as always, please tag a friend and share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/08/15/whole-wheat-olive-oil-sourdough-bread . . . #mostlygreek #greekcuisine #greekfood #foodblogeats #bestfoodfeed #noleftovers #seriouseats #damnthatsdelish #bestfoodfeed #igfoodies #tastethisnext #foodnation #mediterraneandiet #goodfoods #eatrealfood #gardentotable #greek #greeks #cookingfromscratch #mycommontable #madefromscratch #easyrecipe #instarecipe #bakingday #bakersofig #ilovebread #sourdough

Yes, it's still summer. Yes, it's time to think about your fall garden! Many plants that do well as cool weather crops, actually need warmer weather for germinating from seed. So this month and next month are really some of the ideal times to get crops like cabbages, broccoli, brussel sprouts, etc. ready to go. Not only do I have information about growing cabbages on my website, I also have instructions for fermenting whole cabbage heads, and a couple of recipes for cabbage rolls that you can make from your own harvest!
