Newtown Garden

Growing is good - It's good for the heart, good for the soul and damn good therapy! Our kids, our garden, our chickens and our town restore us and so we constantly yearn to be there and while we're there...we grow!

We are now the lucky owner of about 125 garlic scapes. My favorite way to eat them is to use a potato peeler and shred them and them sautéed them with butter and white wine and toss with linguine. All the extra I chop into pieces and freeze. .. .. . . #growfoodnotlawns #backyardgarden #gramyourgarden #newtowngarden (at Newtown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/BysMtrLgwMj/?igshid=8tnp3yq8w6mw
