Plenty of peas, chard, cabbage, beans and greens for making green smoothies. The gardens in the raised beds have peas and tomatoes that have climbed over the top of the trellis and down the other side. Green smoothies are a great way to start the day. I add fresh ginger, garlic and lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Big thanks to Karen and Nicole who are helping me tend to the gardens.
A favourite stone soup stew, this is a plant based beefless Irish stew. Adding a half pint of Guinness will also improve the flavour.
