One good thing about living in this big city is that we get to have access to affordable fresh produce from the nearby provinces. I've live in many cities and this city has the cheapest local market (excluding the ones in China).
One can't get this freshness from the freezers of big supermarkets.
Once they get to the air-conditioned shelves, their prices are doubled.
Don't you love these greens?
Speaking of green, I would like to show you my little compost bucket that made my vegetable garden green.
It's usually used as a garbage bin but we made holes around the sides and made it our compost bin. Two weeks ago I cultivated my vegetable garden and added compost soil on top. In just couple of days, I saw how the leaves of my plants have become healthier. Here are some snapshots from 2 weeks ago.

| Mongo beans, mint, lemon grass, spinach, grape vine and a yellow flower. |
These are just few of what I have in my little garden. Each time I serve freshness on the table, especially the ones from my own garden, a sense of accomplishment is my worth reward. I'm sure it's more for those who are real farmers, dont' you think so?

Wise words bring many benefits, and hard work brings rewards.

Oh, you've sooooo captured my heart here, Ruth! I wish our American farmers markets were more the way yours are, where food is CHEAPER at the farmers market than at the grocery. Here in Chicagoland, it is the other way around most of the time. That's because of the government subsidies and all the imported foods. Eating fresh, chemical-free greens and fruits is expensive here. But soooo worth it, and yes, it is so much better for the farmers!
Is that squid in your seafood picture? I love the way you present the food...so pretty!
Thanks for sharing this week!
Blessings and {{{HUGS}}},
