garden goodies

July 12th, 2006 at 03:39 am

Just a quick record of what we have harvested from the garden so far:
beet greens (x3)
spinach (x1)
swiss chard (x1)
lettuce, mesclun mix (x2)
basil, rosemary, and oregano (haven't used thyme or chives yet)

This is the first year that we have done the mesclun mix and I absolutely LOVE running to the garden to cut fresh salad. And it is so abundant, we probably could have it every night if we wanted. The best part? My brother gave us his leftover seeds, so it is completely free. And this is the stuff I pay $5.99/lb. for in the winter.
The beets we don't usually eat this early, but I planted way too many. We have been eating the greens as we thinned them. I think we have them thinned to a reasonable degree now, so we will wait a little bit until the beets are bigger before picking.
We have peppers to be ready soon, and many green tomatoes. I saw a teeny tiny cucumber today, so those will be exploding in a week or two, as will our teeny tiny green and yellow beans.
Broccoli and squash are still quite far off...broccoli was planted very late, and squash just seems to be taking its sweet ol' time.
Oh, how I love it. Life is fresh!
