Some updates from the garden….these photos were all taken May 3-12.
-
- Pick off flowers and throw into salad…light onionly flavor and pretty stuck to the rest of the salad
-
- Mint
-
- Tomatoes now each have a friendly marigold to keep bad bugs away.
-
- The bean that started inside a few days ago is up and ready.
Another view….
-
- Carrots!
-
- Cuces, beans, radishes
-
- Cilantro. Gross. Tastes like soap.
-
- Cucumbers!
Radishes are all ready. They are ready to pick at 28 days, so these are all ready to go. I’ve been picking a few every day. Use the leaves in salad and on sandwiches, also. Check out the huge one!
-
- Picked this one morning before work….
-
- Then brought them in to my office to share!
-
- That one on the right is more than twice as big as any other I’ve picked. Whoa!
Also, this kind of smells as if a few dozen large farm animals decided to use the roof as a toilet….all at the same time. It’s quite amazing, really. This is about 4 weeks old now, and everything I’ve read says the smell should go away after about 6-8 weeks. I hope, anyway. Otherwise I probably won’t have any friends over this summer….
