This summer we had a wonderful intern, Jennie, who took care of our garden. She transformed the entire place into patches of fruit, veggies and vegetation. She knows everything there is to know about plants and the ground, and so she grew us a plethora of edible plants. This included tomato's, lettuce, gourds, spicy flowers, purple carrots, mint, and so many other things that I had never heard of. She was always getting us to try some new leaf to chew on, or something she dug out of the ground.
One day I was feeling a bit hungry, so we decided to cook up what Jennie dug up. She was in the garden digging up red skin potatoes, so me and Audrey took them into the house and boiled them for a bit. We flavored them with a bit of salt, and garlic and served them to everyone around the farm. We had many volunteers, guests, critter campers, and staff eating what we cooked. It was such a nice little treat, and I sure wouldn't mind eating them again.
