  6. Didn't do much today, but made some proper #food by #cooking with some leftover #garden #harvest. Tomatoes, bell pepper, assorted vegetables and penne.

  7. #KitchenGarden #Harvest is coming in.

    We've got green beans coming out our ears! (This blanched batch is ready to be frozen)

    Anyone have any good #GreenBean recipes?

    “As we navigate the intensifying impacts of the 2026 El Niño, the vulnerability of our global food systems require careful evaluation. With this year’s erratic weather patterns driving severe, prolonged droughts in some regions and unseasonal, devastating floods in others, the climate crisis is proving that it is not a distant threat; it is happening right now, in our fields and on our plates.
    This crisis is more visible in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region. Often called the “water tower of Asia,” this vast mountain range sustains 240 million people across eight countries and provides essential ecosystem services to nearly 2 billion people downstream. When glaciers melt at accelerated rates and monsoons become unpredictable, the narrative often focuses solely on the mountain communities. But the truth is much broader: a disrupted harvest in the high hills of Nepal or Bhutan creates a domino effect. It leads to displaced populations, reduced agricultural output flowing into the Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra basins, and ultimately, skyrocketing food prices for families living in the sprawling downstream plains.
    The climate crisis respects no borders and recognizes no difference between altitude and sea level. Because this problem affects us all, the solution must protect us all. Fortunately, the means to overcome this challenge are already in our hands, locked within the ancient seeds of the mountains…”

    'When I first became involved in advocating for eastern #tarakihi in 2019, #Fisheries New Zealand’s own #science estimated the eastern stock had fallen to around 16% of its unfished #biomass—well below the 20% soft limit and nowhere near the #Harvest Strategy Standard target of 40%.

    'Six years later, we’re paying substantially more at the checkout, yet the eastern stock remains well under a rebuilding-plan target.
    'Recent projections suggest it is still hovering around the lower management thresholds, with recovery far from assured under current catch settings.
    'That should concern every New Zealander.
    We’ve somehow normalised the idea that a fish can become increasingly expensive while remaining chronically depleted. Consumers are paying more, commercial operators continue #fishing, and we’re repeatedly told the #fishery is being managed “#sustainably”.

    'If this is what #sustainability looks like, perhaps we need to rethink what the word means.

    'A truly #sustainable fishery shouldn’t require decades of rebuilding while the stock remains well below the level our own management system says it should achieve. It shouldn’t leave us debating whether 10–20% of the original spawning biomass is acceptable, and it most certainly shouldn’t have us celebrating modest improvements while remaining nowhere near the target.'
    .....
    'Perhaps the real question isn’t why the price has risen, it’s whether we’ve convinced ourselves that #depletion has become an acceptable definition of sustainability.

  13. Don't toss/compost your homegrown #PepperLeaves. #Harvest them because they're food. They can be used as herbs substitute if you don't have basil or mints. They can be cooked & eaten. They're nutritious, so start eating your pepper leaves!

    Mom had told me that in her matriarch village, our relations grew & harvested #peppers & #leaves for many generations. It's used in many different Asian cultures as both food & medicine.
