The garlic we seeded 3 weeks ago have grown up to this (see the photo). I took the photo before I cut them off for tonight’s dinner, which was Hui Guo Rou (chilly bean sauce stir-fried pork accompanied with the new grown garlic leaves). It tasted not exactly as crispy and juicy as what I have expected, if I have to give my comment. But it’s completely free of pollution and agriculture toxic chemical stuff. Also, it’s absolutely fresh to be eaten, thinking of the time from their being cut-off to transferred into a plate.

So I call this a little harvest at home. When I was using scissors to do that, I knew exactly how a farmer would have felt about his/her crop. For me, it’s not all about home-made food, but the great effect of some green things could display on our kitchen window. This home has everything except some evergreen lives, like plant or animal. You can never get the house have a real style or lightened in the same way that a pot of plant does, no matter how funky your furniture are or how many bright colours contained in one piece of the fabric you choose for your home. Plants are live ones, nothing could compare to them.
