When the Garden Is the Keeping Place for Produce

This amused me today.


This is what's left in my produce drawer, three carrots and a container of raspberries that I picked this morning.


And this is what's left in the fruit bowl, one head of garlic.

No, a grocery shopping trip is not right around the corner for me. And no, we're not going without produce. Someone who keeps a garden might understand why we have very little produce stored in the fridge and fruit bowl this week. Right about now, this point in the gardening season, I am harvesting almost all of the fruits and vegetables that we eat daily from our garden, berry patch, and orchard. That makes me smile.

But I was particularly amused when I opened the fridge and saw practically nothing, especially because I know how well we eat every day. 

When I do go grocery shopping next week, the only produce I am likely to buy are bananas (those will fill the fruit bowl for a few days) and carrots (it's too soon for garden carrots). We also have some canned and frozen produce to still use. We really do have a lot of fruits and vegetables on hand, both in the kitchen and in the garden.
