I will never have to worry about being eaten by vampires. I wish I could say the same about mosquitoes, though! With the amount of garlic that my family consumes, it really makes sense to grow my own! And since I have the perfect climate for it, it works really well. The reality is that many climates could support growing garlic, if you know the right type to plant. Come on over for all the information you need to grow this Greek cuisine staple, and as always be sure to tag a fellow garlic lover and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/07/01/garlic . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening #sunsetmagazine #bhgbestfrontyard #bhgfood #greeks #greek #ilovegarlic

FYI, canning jars are NOT supposed to explode in a hot water bath and dump all their contents. But sometimes it happens. Another FYI, do NOT try to reuse that food, no matter how hard you worked to make it. Glass shards can go all over and you don't know where they might be. I strained this out over the sink with a fine mesh strainer after it had completely cooled, and dumped the rest into the garbage (I couldn't even compost it because of the salt content from the pickles I was making). It was a total loss. Well, I did get to salvage the metal screw cap ring for the lid!🤣 . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #sunsetmagazine #bhgfood #bhgwintheweekend #countrylivingmag #countrylivingmagazine @chsugar @mccormickspice #mccormick #urbanhomestead #kitchendisaster #foodsafety

It has been entirely too long since I last made cucumber pickles. Due to problems with soil in my garden beds I haven't been able to grow them successfully. We changed up our planting locations for this year, and I'm finally getting cucumbers! And yes, soon there will be a recipe! . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #bees #pollinators #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening #mccormick @chsugar @mccormickspice

You don't need a meat grinder or a sausage maker to tap into the true flavor of Greek loukaniko, and once you have the real deal you'll know why it was so worthwhile making your own. You don't need to be an expert, either (hey, doesn't everyone start somewhere?). Flavored with fennel, leeks, coriander, and citrus, these links are juicy and packed with Greek flavor. All the information you need is on the blog, so come on over and be sure to tag a friend and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2019/07/19/fennel-leek-loukaniko-greek-sausage . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #tastyfood #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #keto #ketorecipes #cookingfromscratch #heresmyfood #foodblogfeed #tastingtable #imsomartha #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #myopenkitchen #noleftovers #onmyplate #sunsetmagazine #bhgfood #countrylivingmag #countrylivingmagazine @mccormickspice #mccormick

Seriously, this kind of view never gets old! . . . . #mostlygreek #california #californialife #sunset #gooutside #summerishere #summersky

Much of the day-to-day food Greeks eat are ones that are simply made and tap into what's available from the garden or the farmer's market. This plate of roasted peppers couldn't be any easier to make, and yet the flavor is far from plain. These are also the types of foods that help Greeks live long and healthy lives. Come on over for a visit to get the recipe, and be sure to tag a friend and to share! https://mostly-greek.com/2018/09/09/simple-roasted-peppers . . . . #mostlygreek #eattheworld #veganrecipe #storyofmytable #grubzone #thecookfeed #greekfood #cookingfromscratch #greekcooking #foodblogeats #gardentotable #dailyfoodfeed #mediterraneandiet #eattherainbow #noleftovers #onmyplate #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #growyourownfood #organicgardening #organicgarden #californialiving #californialife #gardenharvest #gardentotable #urbanhomestead #sunsetmagazine #bhgfood

The first pears of the season are in! They will benefit from a chilling in the refrigerator for at least a couple of weeks, then allowed to sit out on the counter until they are ripe. Pears are weirdo types of fruits in that they ripen from the inside out, so if you were to wait until they felt soft while on the tree they would be totally mush on the inside! You can tell they are ripe when the stems snap easily when you lift the pear up in your hand from the branch. . In other news, this fresh hole under the fence right next to the pear tree tells us that our resident foxes have been coming into the backyard for a visit again. That would explain the scraggly poops I found in the lawn!🤣 . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #bees #pollinators #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening #sunsetmagazine #bhgfood #bhghome #countrylivingmag #countrylivingmagazine

I swear, I did not buy more plants. The Old Man used his card, so techically he bought them. So there. I only picked them out. But I didn't buy them. . . . . #mostlygreek #vegetablegarden #urbangardening #ediblegarden #flowergarden #herbgarden #growyourownfood #naturalgarden #bees #pollinators #organicgardening #organicgarden #greenlife #greenliving #outdoorlife #californialiving #californialife #planttherapy #gardenharvest #gardentotable #gardeningisfun #urbanhomestead #ilovegardening #sunsetmagazine #bhgbestfrontyard #bhghome #bhgflowers #countrylivingmag #countrylivingmagazine #crazyplantlady
