Who would have thunk that a little sunshine and heat would make a garden grow? It is definitely a novel concept up here in the PacNW. Monday night we harvested a bounty of goodies: tomatoes, lettuces, snap peas, fava beans, zucchini, cucumbers, baby carrots and even a baby beet!
Fava beans accompanied our jalapeno turkey burgers... too bad we couldn't have a
friend and some Chianti for dinner!
Check out this gorgeous salad... Prepped by Chef Willie... with our lettuce, tomatoes, beets, and carrots! Topped with some seared scallops. Gormet.
We harvested our 6-foot flowering dill.... and worked a barter trade with the local veggie stand. We got a huge seedless melon from Hermiston OR in exchange for 2 buckets of dill. Works for us!
Pickin' snap peas...
Thinning the 'maters.
Romaine and red leaf... plenty to share!
Hop buds are getting B I G!
Our first quart of bread n butter slices.
The chickens are enjoying our garden scraps... not quite the same as having cows like the G'rents used to... but they are pretty stinkin cute!
We are hoping for much more gardening excitement in the coming weeks... hopefully the weather will cooperate!
UGH I want to have a canning party with you guys.. I have nothing to can though :(
