I harvested my first cucumbers yesterday! See? Also harvested some radishes (yep, those are radishes, not turnips!) and snow and snap peas. Along with a mad amount of greens (salad and dark leafy) of course.
I was at first annoyed with Dan for planting as many peas as he did salad greens (OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration) but I've only been harvesting a handful a day—just enough for my once or twice daily salad habit.
New favorite salad dressing: Miso-Ginger. I shook up in a jar: red miso, soy sauce, sesame oil, sunflower oil and ground ginger. It's amazingly good.
Things are looking good in the Garden these days. I finally (oops) got some more tomato cages to put around the last remaining ones. The potatoes are going crazy. The kale I thinned looks beautiful. Carrots and beets are on their way. Beans are starting to flower. The cucumber crop should be banging—guess I'll be pickling this year! Even the eggplants look great, and I've never had much success planting those. Oh and the melons I planted? I started a few seeds and then left them to languish in a cottage cheese container for much too long. But guess what? Bouncing back!
Tonight I need to find a use for all of the (mature) watercress I pulled up the past few days. Maybe a cold creamy soup?
