Thanks for the info.

We had radishes AND radish leaves in our salad. And we are using herbs such as Basil and Oregano.

BeetlesPerSqFt 6/3/2016, 10:33 pm

Volunteer arugula and bolting parsley in tabbouleh, and a side of cooked radish greens from the radishes that were bolting and didn't 'radish'. Tried the leaves raw in salad, but my husband found them too rough/tough both times. Even cooked they were challenging. I should have cut them smaller and cooked them longer, or maybe just picked a recipe that involved obliterating them with a blender/food processor. It seems some varieties are hairier/spikier than others and some of mine this year are...well: boogie woogie

Tokyo cross turnips and various leaves! Kale, chard, and bolting Black Seeded Simpson lettuce! And a couple garden snackers of sugar snaps! Yum preview!

I got mine from our son's mother-in-law, fully grown. Rolling Eyes

I have never been able to grow them (or chives) from seed. Sad

I started the yellow onions from seed in my aerogarden last fall. The red ones were started from sets in early February. I also started shallots at the same time but had no success.

Reynaj, What variety of onions?

After!

I had a Depression Era turnip sandwich, reminded me of my Dad. Bread, butter, sliced turnip, salt. Yum!

English Shell peas. Yum Yum. Our garden favorite.

Fresh chopped basil in an omelet, using eggs from our own chickens. cheers

Fried zucchini, we've been having this a couple times per wk.

But, our Silver Queen corn silks are just beginning to brown, not really ready yet. Well, we are expecting to get maybe 8 inches of more of rain in the next couple days. So, we went into the SFG, felt the ears, and choose 4 for supper. Oh my, the first corn of the season is so good!

I agree! It is like the first asparagus, strawberry, etc. so yum!

First greens harvested from the SFG this year for a green smoothie ... a couple of Pak Choi leaves and some really small lettuce leaves.

Strawberries; the last of the season. Kale...LOTS of kale. A couple of green peppers.
Picked 7 baby hornworms off a tomato plant. Seems kind of early for those, so in a few days, we can start harvesting the first of the grape tomatoes.
I'd show you some pics, if I can ever find the cord to my camera. Mad

Yeah, no smart phone here.

CapeCoddess 6/7/2016, 12:59 pm

First of this years Swiss Chard.
Very Happy

**Scorpio Rising** 6/7/2016, 10:56 pm

Yum! Cooked or salad, CC?

Me, hand full of sugar snaps dipped in some garlicky hummus!
