Today's presents from the garden
Still lots of cucumbers which are perfect in juice when we have too many!
They just give so so much juice.
Note the heirloom purple dragon carrots!
fun and very tasty!
heirloom Bassano beets
I almost thought I'd mistaken and planted turnips there...
but they are sweet like a beet!
Sweet morning smiles!!
I'm glad we also planted regular beets cuz I really like the purple juice they make!
Beets are a good liver tonic, but only use one or two in a juice.
bringin in the treasures!
Attie loves helping make juice.
Right from harvesting the veggies to pouring the finished juice into her cup.

I love doing it with her.
Its fun, she's fully capable and then there's no kid whining at your knees...
and it helps with her loving to drink it too :0)
My personal Juicing tips:
- Apples and carrots are necessary
- beets make a good color
- add something green for health
- cucumbers + watermelon give loads of juice
- juice gets your insides moving. like Now.
clean up
- do it immediately after - makes it MUch easier.
- or at least rinse everything out asap.
- pour the juice (thru a sieve if preferred) into another vessel and wash out the juice catcher immediately
- I scrape all the produce mush into the mush catcher and then fill it with water for the compost, which needs water anyways and makes it easier to clean the mush catcher!
and most of all:
** put ice in your juice!
yummm and health!
Do you have any essential juicing tips?
