Let's see what's growing in the potager this month ...
Most of the lettuce mixes can be clipped. Mustard greens, too. I am so ready for fresh greens from the garden!
 |
| Rainbow swiss chard, one of my favorites. |
 |
| Sunflowers reaching for the sun. |
 |
| Something new this year, chinese cabbage and horseradish. |
 |
| Garlic scapes! |
 |
| I have been enjoying these sauteed over pasta and rice, and in eggs. |
 |
| I also enjoyed my first rhubarb harvest. |
I found a wonderful Heidi Swanson recipe for strawberry rhubarb crumble that incorporates toasted pine nuts. Truly delicious.
Basil seedlings. I planted a generous patch with high hopes for another big batch of pesto like last year.
 |
| Another new addition, broccoli rabe. The taller ones I started early indoors. |
 |
| I have a huge wave of calendula that came up from last year. Into the salads they go! |
 |
| Royal burgundy bush beans and soy beans. I can't wait to try fresh edamame. |
Scarlet runner beans so short and already flowering. They are not climbing the trellis as I had hoped.
 |
| The brandywine tomatoes are beginning to flower. |
 |
| My peppers are actually growing! These are hot – cayenne, jalepeno and red chile. |
 |
| Cauliflower veronica. |
 |
| Brussel sprouts. |
 |
| Scallop, or patty pan squash. |
 |
| Snap peas (planted in late March). |
 |
| I think I will have a crop of blueberries from the Bluecrop blueberry bush! |
