Tonight we have had salad bowl lettuce that was grown in the glasshouse over winter then planted out in the ANSFG beds in early April and two massive sweet crunchy red radishes out the garden to make up part of a salad that we had with a thin crust pizza .

It's the first salad stuff out the garden this year .. everything in the UK is two to three weeks behind due to a dismally cold wet last three weeks of April & a soggy start to May . Carrots and the carrot comp entry look like long dead history , so more are getting sown tomorrow .

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

My first salad from my garden today here in Maine's zone 5a. Having an A-frame and cold frame sure is worth it.

I've got chives from those planted last year, but this year's crops provided leaves from both Red Sails and Butterhead lettuces, Arugula, and Tokyo bekana. I'll add a plum tomato and dressing for supper tonite with my chicken. Just perfect.

Pulled first eggplant and zucchini of the year yesterday. Put in a baking dish, covered with tomato sauce, cheese and herbs... baked for 30 minutes and devoured. Wife love hubby cooking dinner.

Ate some artichokes last weekend dipped in butter, just like crab or lobster.

Going to pull the radish today, but only hubby likes them !
I will pick some lettuce also. Nothing else is ready.

I finished planting my last square tonight!! To celebrate I pulled a radish (not a bad size either) and split it with my hubby. It was the first harvest from the new garden and tasted WONDERFUL! The planting is done, and the dining has begun. What are you eating from your garden today? - Page 16 211713

I'll wait a few days to pull another...and nothing else will be quite ready to harvest for a bit...but I'm still in my happy place!

Congrats Darci!

those radish are wonderful... I am considering growing a whole bed of them next year just because they seem to be no fail and ever so pretty looking when they are pulled.

Hubby ate radish on his salad last night and said it was lovely and crunchy and not at all bitter. He took a whole bunch in to work today.

2-3 strawberries every day for the past month, and the things are already trying to grow pups too. I'm wondering how well strawberries can out compete grass as a ground cover...

Onions, potatoes..and I probably should pull up the kohlrabi and eat that too since the tomato plants are vining out(testing to see how that works instead of vertical since there isn't a whole lot I can grow in the summer without overwhelming me, the neighbors and co-workers, plus I wanted to see just how easily the branches root into new plants). Oh, and cucumbers...lots and lots of cucumbers. If cucumbers were expensive, I'd be rich!

There is nothing quite like freshly dug potatoes, fried with fresh from the garden onions and bacon(not fresh from the garden!). Except with a cucumber salad! I love this time of year.

Spinach this morning. Strawberries are ripening.

elliephant 5/21/2012, 12:23 pm

Just made up some homemade pesto and put it on some noodles for lunch. Need to put the rest in the freezer as I'm the only one in the family who will eat it and if I let myself I will eat WAY too much of it!

**walshevak** 5/21/2012, 4:27 pm

Broccoli with salsa con quesa for lunch. Sugar snap peas while out checking on everything this morning. Smile

I am eating sweat and dirt! I am so jealous of all of you! Well a happy kind of jealous cuz I'm happy you are able to eat from yours but also jealous cuz mine hasn't produced anything yet unless you count the teeny lettuce seedings I get when I am thinning them. Maybe if there is another thinning, they will be big enough when I pop them into my mouth it will seem that there is something there, lol. I live in Northern Utah so we couldn't plant most things. I was late in catching the earliest planting time for lettuce, peas and other cold weather crops. I saw yesterday that my broccoli is starting to head so that was a good sign.

CapeCoddess 5/21/2012, 5:24 pm

For breakfast I had 4 strawberries. For lunch I had a salad made with buttercrunch, swiss chard, spinach, radishes, dandelion, kale, parsley and chive.

SO HAPPY!!! and healthy!

1airdoc 5/21/2012, 7:42 pm

Finishing off the last of my english peas, harvested one head of broccoli and one head of lettuce. Salad tonight!

Triciasgarden 5/21/2012, 8:03 pm

I am sure enjoying all of these comments and keep looking for the "Like" button for each comment because everything looks so good! I hadn't planned on planting radishes because it seems like I am the only one who likes them here, but I am going to plant them this year and enjoy them all by myself! So to all of you who have posted, I "Like" all your yummy looking "eatings" from your gardens!

kateh 5/21/2012, 8:27 pm

Ok, so it was only 6 radishes, but I felt so proud to have actually grown something. First time gardening of any sort, so adding my own radishes to my dinner salad felt like quite a feast! Hopefully in a couple more weeks I'll have more to eat, and maybe share with my family.

plantoid 5/22/2012, 7:47 am

Seven leaves snipped of a large healty looking saldbowl lettuce ( started off in November last year in the glasshouse in a pot) . Three sprigs of over wintered ex glasshouse curly parsley and one sprig off flat leafed parsley started this year.

The radishes are starting to look worried so is the CCA mixed leaf square. White Lisbon spring onions are also becoming concerned . But my carrots & mange tout have just laughed at me for the third time. Wink

...... barely showed their faces to say " Hello Dave ".

Last night i fixed wilted lettuce with the black seeded simpson that i grew.
MMMMM YUMMY!

Peas and lots of lettuce. What are you eating from your garden today? - Page 16 Peas_a10

Sauteed chard and garlic. Sugar snap pea don't make it in from the garden.

Zucchini Chips

My, oh, my! Found this recipe on Pinterest and knew I had to try it with my Tromboncino squash.

So good! 450 was a bit too hot in my oven, though. I will try it at 400 next time...and there WILL be a next time.

Tromboncino/Rampicante is the PERFECT squash for this recipe...nice and firm with no seeds all through that giraffe-long neck.

littlesapphire 5/23/2012, 7:18 am

Woo, I just harvested for tHe first time yesterday. I picked some broccoli and cabbage leaves and used them in a vegetable lasagna. Very tasty!
