Dawn
I sowed my cabbage seed a bit late this year, if I had been on time I would have harvested most by now. I am happy that I am late with sowing some seeds as they seem to be helping me out during the lockdown. The cabbages are growing fast and furious that by the end of the month most will be ready for harvest. while we have already harvested 3 fast growers.
Right now I have harvested a good amount of sweet potatoes, ivy gourds and other gourds.Lettuce and spinach are always there anytime I want them. That makes life easy for me , I don’t have to go hunting for fresh vegetables which are in short supply now.
I love making dumplings (Chines style) and using fresh crunchy cabbages with minced meat is reducing my need for onions. I am finding a lot of flavors that work together this way. I am also learning to work with limited resources, a great lesson in frugal living.

Question of
Is life the same for you during this period?
it is sad, last week we had to not use paper towels because the two stores around us were out!
These are tough times indeed. But I guess we manage well.
we do what we can do
We are becoming stronger each day as we face these challenges.
that is the power of resilience. We build strong walls to protect us from the things that harm, But also strong walls to protect those we love.
I always do the same thing before and now. I cook at home. This is also frugal for me. Very rarely do I afford to buy desserts and pizzas from the store. I only produce garlic, parsley and dill.
I always cook at home, but now I am learning to manage with things I thought I needed most in a recipe.
Things are about the same here, just limiting the store shopping trips.
Very wise thing to do in times like this Carol.
hmm that’s really nice post..
Glad you think so Hamza.
