Here is what I harvested today from my terribly neglected garden. Delicata squash, zucchini, Ping Tung eggplant, Goldbar summer squash, 8-Ball zucchini (excellent for stuffing), cucumber, Malabar spinach, corn, and lima beans. We put most of it in a fritatta for dinner tonight. Yummy!
This is the Ping Tung Japanese Eggplant. It seems to be very prolific. The color is a beautiful lavendar which doesn't show well in this picture − too much sun − but in real life, it is almost too pretty to eat!
Here's a picture of the garden. Looks a little washed out because of the sun. You can't see any corn because the plants are another two feet taller than this photo shows. It's a local open pollinated variety from Carlos' mother.
And this one is a picture of one corner of the backyard. It is looking a little jungle-y. Who has time to garden when you are painting all day, every day?
Welcome to my Blogicito — spanglish for 'little blog'. I am a US expatriate who has been living here in La Ceiba, Honduras, with my Catracho husband since 2001 and blogging about Honduras and my expatriate life since 2006.
The Blogicito includes a wide variety of topics from everyday life to cultural differences to Honduran politics and corruption. One way to find what you are looking for is to browse the 'Topics' list or the monthly lists of articles under 'La Gringa's archives' below. Looking for something more specific? Use the search box at the upper left (for complete articles) or the Google blog search below (for a list of summaries — usually more manageable).
Like most bloggers, reader feedback helps to inspire me. I enjoy reading your comments.
