Got my first food!!!

Yardtigress Sun 29 Apr - 11:04

I took my first radishes and onions out of the garden today. I was so happy I ate the radishes for breakfast. It's my first garden. I have tomatoes on my plants and potatoes growing like weeds. Though I know they aren't weeds. I am thinking of expanding next year. My cucumbers keep dying though. I'm going to try a little shade in the afternoons for them. Wink

I accidentally planted 9 cilantro per square instead of one, and had intended to move them, but they are doing so well, I am cutting them all off at 2 inches every 5-6 days and mixing them with spinach and making pesto. yum
OH and the MOREL mushroom we found in my garden as well. Smile

LOL I LOVE hearing about people with their first gardens. YAY! cheers

I've NEVER had great success with my cucumbers, thankfully my next door neighbor & best friend DOES. Hubby & I made a salad table for her & gave her mix for her birthday.

Matured icicle radishes (so mild some VN thought they were diacon!), lots of lettuces (need to reseed!), arugula, spinach, and broccoli (only side heads before they bolt), and cabbage leaves. And I have a cabbage in the fridge that hasn't been eaten yet.

TejasTerry Tue 1 May - 22:56

Did some juicing. Swiss chard, spinach, a sprig of spearmint and cilantro, all from the garden. Then thru in a store bought apple and juiced it all. It was yummy.

Nonna.PapaVino Tue 1 May - 23:35

The first asparagus. Tomorrow, we'll have Purple Sprouting Broccoli from the one remaining plant. Then, 'Up she come." And the space will be replanted with.....I don't know yet.

First radish, planted Jan 5 in a window sill box. Have had: lettuce, chives, onion, strawberry, spinach, all in very small quantities.

A harbinger of things to come: Purple asparagus popped up 4 days after I planted the two year crowns.

Had some sautéed greens with scrambled eggs for breakfast and will be having greens with pasta for dinner. Am loving the results of my first square foot garden!

UnderTheBlackWalnut Sun 6 May - 15:13

nilberty - Those look great! Smile

and Rooster - CONGRATS on the salad! Looks like your flea beetles didn't get ALL of your garden, thank goodness! Smile

**RoOsTeR** Sun 6 May - 15:36

Thanks UTBW! The beetles seem to have a real taste for the brassica's. I don't really notice them as much on anything else. A good trap plant for them I have found, is bok choi. Unfortunately, it's also one of the things I was looking most forward to Razz

And yes nilberty those are some great looking pickins What are you eating from your garden today? - Page 15 3170584802

Picture perfect!

The monster cabbage that was threatening to hold my cat hostage has been harvested and is on its way to becoming apple coleslaw tonight with our burgers!!

I can't believe how sweet peas are fresh from the garden. They are just like candy. I can't bring myself to cook them! Next year, I plant a full 4x4 with Tom Thumb Peas in February and they stay there until the tomatoes go in. YUM!

Goosegirl Tue 8 May - 8:39

This morning I just went out and cut a bunch of the volunteer Green Deer Tongue and Freckles lettuces for our first BIG bowl of salad for the year! I cut enough to make a salad that will last us for several days. By the time it is done, the scalped lettuces may have grown back enough for the next salad! Can't wait until the rest of the garden catches up and we can put our own peppers, carrots, and such in it.

Had this lemon squash for dinner last night for the first time. It was probably the yummiest squash I've ever eaten...

They don't taste lemony, just look like lemons. I got the seeds from Baker Creek. They had such good reviews:

Reading the reviews, I'm wondering...did you trellis it?

CarolinaGirl Tue 8 May - 13:12

I went out for the first time and picked some spinach leaves to add to my eggs.. also sliced up one of the baby norland red potatoes that I pulled out the other day and added that too. Needless to say I was super excited to finally eat something from my garden!
