(This is a stock photo of beets. Mine are often misshapen. – grins – They still taste great, however.)
One of the many things I love about vegetable gardening is…
The garden can serve as in-ground storage.
I can pick lettuce as I need it. I don’t need to place it in the fridge.
I don’t have to worry about herbs going bad because I can harvest them the same day I use them.
Root vegetables like radishes, carrots, beets, turnips, onions can often be left in the ground for months until we need them. No refrigeration or freezing is necessary!
The garden is truly an extension of the kitchen. And that makes me happy.
