Eat From Here Challenge.

My challenge to only eat what we have grown or produced here starts first thing tomorrow morning.
I have been out and gathered some supplies
 I have heaps of eggs, more Oranges on the tree, Silverbeet in the garden, Marron in the dam if I want to go catch one, lots of onions and tomatoes...I have some stock from a rooster in the freezer so I can make some soup if I want.  I'm not going to go hungry.  I have decided that I am not going to have anything bought from a shop or not from here.  A daughter gave us a box of Necterines yesterday...They will have to be put away until Thursday.  I have decided to go for three days.  Husband will be here for a couple of meals but not whole days and as that will make it easier I am adding the extra day.

I wont have milk, flour, coffee, bread...No salt or pepper or sauces... No anything from anywhere else.
It will be fun!!

    So, all this came from your yard? Good deal! I just wish I could gather that many supplies from my yard at one time. Maybe you could put up the nectarines or cook to keep from spoiling. Keep us posted. I think giving up milk and Coke would be difficult for me.

      Linda this is what I picked yesterday afternoon. There's plenty more where that came from. The nectarines that are left are slightly underripe so will keep a few days but yes, some will still need to be preserved somehow.

      I bet you could give up coke for a couple of days...I CHALLENGE you to give up coke for 2 whole days! Before the end of the month. It might be hard but that's why it's a challenge. lol.

    I gave up Coke from last Sunday until Saturday. Does that count? It was such a round 7 days.

    You worked hard for the harvest you can have every day or so. Some day, with a little help maybe I can have my own harvest.
