Vegetable Garden Week 9 - May 7

We've got radishes! They're just itty bitty radishes, but I needed to cull them a bit so it was great to have a little something to nibble on. The first harvest is always fun. This is why radishes are great - you get them so early compared to everything else! The French Breakfast radishes (the long and skinny ones) were much milder than the regular round red radishes which had a lot of spiciness. I made a batch of radish butter which is a really great hors d'oeuvres on some crackers. 

May 31 - Vegetable Garden Week 9

The garden is great. The snap peas are about 2 feet high, the tomatoes are growing well, and we actually have some strawberries growing. The mulch is keeping the weeds down and it looks nicer. We're still getting radishes, but I'm looking forward to snap peas and all the other good veggies. 

April 4 - Vegetable Garden Week One

We got a later start on the garden than usual because of our Asia trip, but may have anyway because of the frigid weather we've been having. (Usually we plant the peas around St. Patrick's Day.) We loaded up the beds with fresh top soil and compost and cleaned out some grass etc that had grown over the winter. We planted the seeds you can plant before the danger of frost has passed - snap peas, lettuce, radishes.
