I live at 8140 Orange Street. I moved here 5 months ago with a very long "to do" list...it's still very long. A couple of months ago I planted my inspiration garden. I planted 3 very small citrus trees and then sprinkled flower and lettuce seeds to fill the space. Now just a few weeks later my lettuces are mature enough to harvest along with a few other goodies from my garden. I have a pomegranate tree. My next door neighbor has a blood orange tree with a generous branch hanging over my wall. I planted radishes AND I have a small herd of goats. This salad came from my garden. I'm going to call it the 8140 garden since all ingredients came from the property (well I guess I need to call it the "8140 salad with walnuts"

Pomegranate arils, goat cheese and walnuts. I used a little orange juice in the vinaigrette.
So last night I made a 2.0 version:

My red oak leaf lettuce was ready, sugar snap peas and these lovely nastursiums...yes they are edible.
So my "8140 salad" is any combination of food items that come directly from my property and add a handful of California nut meats.
