I'm hosting GROW YOUR OWN #45 this month!

I am very excited to be hosting GROW YOUR OWN this month!  Grow your own is an event that celebrates and shares what you have grown, foraged, hunted,  or fished.  This is a fun way to see what is growing, what is in season, what you eat from your own "back yard" throughout the year in different regions all across the world!  GYO was started by Andrea of Andrea Meyers: cooking, gardening & 4 hungry guys...and while she hosts often, she also gives others the chance to join in the hosting fun yay me!

GYO

Rules:
*Make a dish that uses at least one item from your very own garden or farm and post about it. Your garden doesn’t have to be big, container gardens are welcome! If you hunted or foraged, those items are also eligible. You can also use something that was given to you, but the giver must have personally grown or raised the item. If you paid for it, then it doesn’t count.

*Anything edible that you have grown or raised qualifies, including fruits, vegetables, herbs, sprouts, edible flowers, nuts, grains, legumes, dairy products, eggs, livestock, fish, etc.

*Please make sure your dish is posted during the month of the event. One entry per blog, per month, please.

*Please include a link to THIS POST in your GYO post. (Use of logo is optional, but you can find more options here)

  2. I call my "container" garden my "pot" garden. LOL. Legal, of course. =)

    My last blog was a dedication to my growing things. You know I'm in! This is exciting.

  9. I am in... although I will use some dishes that I made a while back at my parent's home in Moldova, since I do not have a garden here in Texas. Are you kidding me? I am surprised weeds grow here!

  11. Wow! I think the only thing I've grown are my two sons. Hmmm. Herbs from my window box? Yes! Great event!

  12. We've been cooking all summer from the garden. Our favorite diversion at dinnertime is to count up how many items are on our plate that we grew. I think the record is 11 :) Hope I remember to pick one of my favorites from Sept. and add it to the roundup. It's always such fun to see what everyone else is making from stuff they grew or foraged. Thanks for hosting this time.
