Beef and potato stew

 I might have posted this menu in the blog. The difference from previous one is that those home grown vegetables, potatoes and onions, were used. Potatoes were really newly harvested ones. Onions were 2 weeks old having been dried under the eaves. 

The probability of failure in cooking this is as scarce as hen's teeth.

Satisfying result. Other menus of potato will follow this since a lot of potatoes are stored in the shed. I will send some to a friend violinist ad well as a few family folks.

The other batches will be gathered in very soon. This species of potato has shorter resting time and some of them would be planted in fall. 

Four of pumpkins, planted a week or two ago, are growing nicely. Melon and water melon have been also planted. A few of the seedlings of water melon are growing in pots. It is amazing they are growing successfully without fertilizer but only with compost. The soil might be well nourished since this area was a forest owned by my mother's family decades ago. The fallen leaves and even weeds would be a source of the other lives thereafter. A miracle but a reality. Human beings should behave in the same way.
