Garden meal based on beans.
http://www.durgan.org/ShortURL/?POHTS 12 August 2007 Meal based on beans.
The vegetables were from the garden. A potato, tomato, and a few carrots were baked in a iron porcelain pot in the oven. A fresh tomato was sliced and a cucumber served in white vinegar.

Just read your G&M comments and followed the link you put there. It's very interesting and I might keep on reading it.
I have just started a new blog today to talk about my own growing experienced, but there is very little stuff there so far.
I would suggest trying some Chinese vegetable varieties as well next year. There is a seed company at Lynden selling seeds. Their website is www.agrohaitai.com
They have a lot of stuffs. I would suggest cuccumbers, pole beans and yard-long beans to start with. I have tried all of these and they are simply delicious! You may also try their hycinth beans. It's a very beautiful plant.
I am very conscious of Chinese vegetables, mostly the greens, and do have a deep interest in new vegetables. Relatively new to me are crosne, okra, wolfberry,bok choy to name a few. I will look up your suggestions, and I thank you very much.
I do admire your initiative in obtaining land to grow your own. Urban gardening is almost a lost art in Canada. The fat and well fed like being that way.
I have the best, realistic gardening blog on the web. I only discuss items of which I have personal experience without the babble, and present pictures as proof of my observations.
I posted another comment last night. Not sure it went through as I didn't see here.
I am from Northern China city of Qingdao, the venue for the sailing sports in the last Olympics. To be honest I do not know what corsne is until I Google searched. It's a Japensee thing I guess.
The kind of Chinese vegetables I am trying to grow are mostly northern Chinese vegetables, which are not well known outside of China. This is because the majority of early immigrants from China are from far south (From Guangdong and Fujian provinces). This is why I have to grow my own because they are not privy to northern Chinese food (or I say they are not very much privy to anything that's not from SE China).
As it is now pretty late in growing season. I would suggest trying some greens. Tong Ho (edible chrysanthemum) is always good. It takes 3 weeks or from sowing to harvesting, and it is delicious. Another one is winter spinach. You can sow now, and harvest for rest of year till frost comes. It will stay dormant in winter, and come out next spring as soon as the snow melts.
You might want to pay them a visit in person. They have some experimental fields, which you may find very interesting. I go there when I have time, just to visit as a friend and/or loot. :-)
Anyway, I will work more on my own blog. As a quite accomplished cook I know how to treat my harvests too.
Back to work. talk later.
