New things to eat this week!

Finally, some new veggies to sample. The garden looks great so far... The squash is coming in, The tomatoes are setting fruit, the carrots and beets are finally ready and the cukes and beans are climbing. Please remember that this it my 'trial' year. I've planted many different varities of veggies but not a huge quantity of any one variety. I'm trying to get an idea of what grows well here, what tastes good and what sells. So again, feedback is crucial for me.

Thanks!

Transitions

This week looks like a transition from Spring to summer veggies. Not much but lettuces. I was hoping we would have some squash to share but they are not quite big enough yet...next week. The carrots are still a week or so out. Thanks to Jeff Friend, we have a bee hive for the garden!! We are hoping they are hard workers.

Below is a recipe we use for Swiss Chard. It's worth a try if you have never cooked or eaten Chard. It has been really sweet and tender this spring.

My goal is to keep posting photos of the garden on this site and to keep you up to date on what's coming up for harvest. Please let me know what other information you would like me to share with you.
