Friday Files - Bloomin' Marvelous

This week's plant-based jar for the market is a mild red bean chilli. Because, well, the weather man says it's going to be chilli. Make a meal with the homemade cottage cheese and sourdough rolls.


Still, after cooking and having garden loot and potting preserves, forever, I get a kick out of using what I have potted, colorful peppers and our gardenloot.

The herbs have, in the last week or so, just burst into life.

As has the rest of the garden.

Real winter rain, sun and borhole blessings and nearly two years later, the garden is beginning to really recover.

It's amazing the difference that a higher water table makes. This year, too, we have made a point of planting on a waxing moon.

I am having to curb my impatience...

Until next time, be well

Mary, Mary, Quite contrary, how your garden grows! That looks so awesome, Fiona! The jars you are preparing and the ones that you are using to make them! I love fresh parsley, rosemary and thyme, and everything else! You make it look so easy and I know how difficult it really is!

Thank you, lovely lady, you and McGregor!! You make #MarketFriday look so good!

#MarketFriday has evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but, it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact of what is normal for where you live? These are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I can only hope this to be true.

Fridays are all about the #MarketFriday Challenge! Looking to take part in it? Here is how:


Rules of the Road to Join #MarketFriday!

  1. Go to the market, or anywhere that you pay money for a service.
    Take pictures! Be creative!
  2. Tell us a little bit about the market or the event. What brought you there? What did you buy? How much did it cost?
  3. Post the picture(s) Of course, you should tell a little bit about the ones you post
  4. Use the MarketFriday Community Platform to post #hive-196308 (this is not required, but appreciated)
    5. Drop the link into the MarketFriday comment section so I can find it
  5. Following me and reblogging the post so more see it would be appreciated !! Not a rule, just appreciated, more vision for more views on your posts!
    7. You must put #MarketFriday by @dswigle somewhere on your post. If you don't and someone reads it, there is nothing to tie #MarketFriday to that post.
  6. Please only one post each week. Believe it not, I run out of voting power if you put in many more than that.

As always, please remember! #MarketFriday loves you!
