The garden keeps getting bigger

 Sometimes I just don't know when to stop. I keep planting more garden. The first crop of peas are ready to pick, the second crop of peas are just starting to climb, and now I'm going to dig up some more lawn to plant a third crop. Maybe I'm going crazy, but I'm sure having fun the trip.
  Hopefully, Elaine and I can eat all year from this garden. Fresh is best when it comes to vegetables, but here in the northeast we freeze and can for winter use. I'm also going to try to dehydrate some veggies for soups and to maybe use in a dip. I've got the time and I feel better than I have in the past few years, so the farmer in me wants to grow something to eat. And besides, I'm having fun doing it.
   I started some plants in these pallets that I have stacked up. Now I'm almost done transplanting these plants and I'm planting herbs in the pallets now. Fresh herbs seem to be a hot ticket at the farmers markets so I will try to grow some for ourselves and maybe I will be able to sell some myself. I would also like to donate some of my extra vegetables, that is if I have any, to our local food bank. The food bank has helped Elaine and I a couple of times in the past few years and we would like to re-pay the favor. Who knows, we may need their help again sometime.

   Yesterday I was looking at the garden, particularly at the greens. The beets that I cut 3 weeks ago were coming back in stages and so was the swiss chard. I also had some turnip greens that needed cutting. So after I cut them, I needed to do something with them. There wasn't a lot of greens so I cooked them up and drained them well, chopped them up, then mixed them with a pint of cottage cheese. I cooked some large shell pasta and then stuffed the shells with the cheese and greens. I added a little sauce and into the oven went supper. One of these days I'm going to hurt my arm patting myself on the back, but supper was good.
