Some beautiful Merlot Leaf Lettuce. Had a Chef Salad for dinner last evening, and used all of the lettuce so had to pick some more. Very Happy

Picked the first batch of spinach from the garden today. Can't wait for the taste of a fresh spinach salad for dinner this evening. Very Happy

A few asparagus stalks! Just steamed, butter, salt and pepper!

**sanderson** 5/25/2023, 12:42 pm

Muncher and Beit Alpha cucumbers. Finally, something is ready to eat. Very Happy

This is my first year growing the Beit Alpha cucumbers, and we are loving them. We are picking one or two a day from the greenhouse.

A beautiful Bok Choy for this evening's Bok Choy & Sausage Soup. The plant is as delicious as it is beautiful. Very Happy

Beit Alpha is the best, in my opinion, followed closely by Muncher. I grow both.

Garlic scapes! I see some yummy pesto in my future! I love pesto….basil, or scapes are my faves. Sometimes I add in some extra flat-leafed parsley or some cilantro leaves, too.

Last night's dinner was a shrimp salad featuring a small amount of lettuce, a couple of fragile asparagus stalks, and some radishes.

Picked some Black Seeded Simpson and Merlot lettuce for a beautiful Chef Salad. We are loving the deep red Merlot leaf lettuce. I received the first package as a gift from Baker Creek last year, but we fell in love with it so much that I had to order more seeds. It is our favorite leaf lettuce, and it is even better that it resists bolting.

Also picked some more Rhubarb stalks, some of which will go into a pie and the rest will go into the freezer.

Odd, never have heard of peas not germinating. I planted the seeds the first week of April, after soaking them overnight, and they all sprouted within a week. I may have planted them a little to thick, though. I planted them on the 12' arbor with 3" spacing. They have grown so thick that picking them is a real challenge. Very Happy

**Scorpio Rising** 6/15/2023, 9:27 am

I have had something (birds, probably) dig them up and eat them, but there is obvious disturbance of the MM. Not in this case. And they were new seeds. I will have to try them this fall. They are a blush type color…I’ve got nothing!

**Scorpio Rising** 6/19/2023, 7:17 pm

A whole bunch of various radishes (it was Pinetree Mix, and some English Breakfast). Yum!

**sanderson** 6/20/2023, 12:19 am

Cucumbers, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, cucumbers, green beans. Yukon Gold potatoes are ready to harvest.

Third picking of the Sugar Snap Peas. This is from a row of peas planted on the 12' arbor on the raised bed.

Picking abundance of New Zealand spinach, first ever Cherokee tomato, small Everglades tomatoes, celery, green onions, poblano peppers, Italian cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, banana peppers, and herbs galore. Very late rainy season starting now so crops are slowing from the heat and heavy rain. Hope everyone is enjoying theI garden. Mine is just 5 4X4 raised beds and some plants in pots.

Picked another batch of Sugar Snap Peas, and the Ruby Red Swiss Chard. The tornadic winds we had a couple days ago ripped all of the pea plants off of the arbor and flattened them against the soil. That made picking the peas a lot more work, but they are well worth the effort.

The largest jalapenos I have even grown.

Those Jalapenos would make some great poppers! hungry

**Scorpio Rising** 6/25/2023, 8:34 am

So much food, Sanderson! I agree with OG, I see some fabulous poppers in your future!

I am going to pick some radishes today and figure out how to give my tomatoes some stand up help before this storm is expected. Rolling Eyes

**sanderson** 6/25/2023, 4:17 pm

I have a low fat baked popper recipe! Thank you for reminding me.

**sanderson** 7/1/2023, 1:08 am

I've been picking Blue Lake pole beans daily for 2 weeks. Thank goodness only 4 squares with 2022 beans germinated or I'd have a problem keeping up. Last night, I cooked them with garden tomatoes, bacon and onions, salt and pepper. I was introduced to this recipe while visiting SC last October.
Another 2 weeks and they will be done, despite putting up the overhead shade cloth.
