my garden is looking pretty sad these days: travel, drought and neglect all play a part. but somehow a few things are growing (surviving). come march, i hope to revive it and have a glorious garden for spring & summer. currently growing (or trying to not die): oranges, lemons, grapefruit, peaches… broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, kale, chard, artichoke hearts and lots of herbs. hopes for what will come in addition: cucumbers, strawberries, apples, tangerines and lots more kale & chard. 
dusk – and gathering from what looks ready – to make a wintery soup 
from the garden: kale, chard, a lemon, herbs
from the kitchen: onion, garlic, rustic potatoes, shitake mushrooms, chicken stock, salt, pepper & left over roasted chicken
a slow simmer smelling so good
at the end, the wilted greens, shredded chicken, the juice of a whole lemon & topped with fresh parmesean
wintery, stormy soup
