7 years ago, our family of 7 moved to a small home on the prairie. Our goals were lofty - to live frugally, become more self reliant, grow as much of our food as we could (sourcing the rest locally), and in general, learn to live in a more sustainable way. In an exciting twist of life events, we recently moved "home" to the coast and are adapting our lives and goals to a completely different climate and landscape. Join us as we continue on our journey!

Serving Rainbows For Supper
Roast (locally raised) pastured chicken with gravy, our garden Chantenay carrots from the "cellar", purple potatoes once again from the "cellar" (courtesy of our "Blue" potatoes cooked and mashed with the skins on), and peas (sadly store-bought as we've eaten our garden pea freezer stash).
Served with bright red raspberry cordial (homemade) I'd say we made a colourful show of the meal!

Purple potatoes! I've never heard of them, do they taste the same as the white ones?
ReplyDeleteBusy Mom of 3, yes they do!
ReplyDeletetwo people I work with are splitting an order of blue seed potatoes. Have you had good luck with them??
ReplyDeleteThey grew really well, actually but potatoes grow well here though so I didn't notice any difference in them over any other varieties as far as growing goes... :)
