I picked 2 very little tomatoes and 2 squash: one zuk and one yellow. They also were not very big, but it is still exciting. The first of the year always is special.
I'm having a very green and good for me i hope veggie soup. There is a little kelp, garlic and better than boullion. From the garden, I put in kale, beet greens, baby beets, garlic chives, sage, marjoram and garlic scapes. This is my first year growing my own beets! They ARE easy!
The packet I got has a mix of white beets, those white and red striped beets and red beets. So far I've only had the white and striped ones. They seem to be a tiny bit bitter. Is this normal? Some bitter things are really good for the body and liver, I think. So hopefully this is one of them.
Yesterday I roasted some beets and greens on the grill and had them with lamb and brown rice. My friend's dad gave me a pepper plant and I ate two peppers. I've also had like 6 blueberries so far and a lot of mulberries! It is summer!
today I picked 5 more maters, and now I can see why they were not turning red like I hoped: they are highbred purple. Actually more of a dark pink. I have to admit, I am an old crab and always bitching about something: last year and the year before I bitched because we had no bees, so no squash or cukes. This year I am bitching because we have so many bees, I can't get near the plants to see how many we are getting. Guess some people are never satisfied.
Lettuce and Cucumber on sandwiches for lunch; Fresh Herbs (dill, parsley, oregano, basil and thyme) on baked tilapia; Zucchini, Eggplant, Yellow Squash and Kale marinated and grilled.
Sauteed beets and beet greens with cilantro, green pepper, rosemary and winter savory in a salad. The salad also has lime juice, avocado, garlic and tomato not from the garden.
