Growing food in your own garden can be a life changer. I prepared this refreshing saldad on this hot spring day.
I love the purple salad, it's really interesting and tasty.
Of course, there has to be green salad in the garden too.
Wild rocket, its a bit spicy but I love how it tastes and looks like.
Around the garden, there's a lot of red clovers. They are good for the soil and they are beautiful and delicious in a salad or a smoothie.
Red and white radishes grow fast and they are great in early spring, when there is not a lot of fresh vegetables to harvest yet. 
Spring onions are very tasty and we can use the green part too. I love them in a salad and in stir fry dishes.
I added some hemp seeds from my last year's hemp garden harvest.
Hemp seeds are super nutritious and delicious.
Last season, I canned baby corn and I used some in the salad too. Baby corn is sweet and it comes out nice preserved in vinegar. I'm sure I will grow more of them this year. You can read the full recipe for pickled baby corn, from my last year's post [Diy pickling].(https://hive.blog/naturalmedicine/@blackberryskunk/diy-pickling)

It's a perfect salad in every way! There's nothing more heavenly then a garden like yours.
Thank you, I'm forever grateful for the opportunity to enjoy the nature! 😌🍀💚
hmmm the ingredients look fresh and delicious @blackberryskunk
Thank you ☺️🍀💚
It looks very good and with the heat it makes more salads appetizing. I had read that hemp seeds have many beneficial properties but I've never eaten them, can they be eaten with the shell on?
If you don't mind a bit of crunchiest under the teeth it's even a better choice as shells also contains nutritions and it's good for digestion system. Of course for more gourmet recipes I would use peeled seeds. 😋
If they are cannabis husks I don't care. Someday I will try it. Thanks
