Living off the land....well sort of!

Today we picked our first vegetables from our land! We harvested French radishes! YUCK! Ha! I don't even like them but it was still exciting to pick them! I decided to try to pickle them and see if we would like them that way. It was my first time to pickle anything so that was neat too! Here is a picture of the jar, it will be a few day before we can try them!

We also gather lots of Yaupon Holly leaves so we can make tea! The limbs have been drying for several weeks and they were finally ready to gather. We then used a grinder and ground them up and ran them through our keurig machine. The result was a really good cup of tea, similar to green tea! So neat!
