What do you do with Kohlrari? I grow it, but unless I eat it raw, I’m at a loss!

We prepare them several different ways, and seem to like all of them about equally. One way we prepare them is to peel them, then shred them to make a coleslaw type salad.

One of our favorite ways to prepare it as a side dish by dicing it, and then sauteing it with olive oil, onions, garlic, dried thyme, and a little red pepper flakes.

Another way we just discovered is roasted chips in the air fryer. The results are similar to potato chips, but with a distinct flavor. We found this recipe for them, and the results were worth the effort. Very Happy

kohlrabi is really good chunked up and roasted. We like some spices especially a good smoked paprika. Right out of the oven, a heavy dose of parmesan (not the wood filler that Kraft sells). Have tried turnips the same way, They don't seem to hold up as well. I have tried both in the air fryer and think I like the oven better for both.

I pulled several radishes and 1/2 doz small beets, Mr Groundhog got all my salad ingredients and has started on my container potatoes so I had to make do with what was in the refrigerator. Balsamic vinegar and olive oil over lightly sautéed veggies is what I had for a late supper.

Pulled 6.5# of Rhubarb stalks from two plants today. The red stalks are from a Canada Red plant, and the green stalks are from a Glaskins Perpetual plant. Some of it will turn into a couple pies, and the rest will be frozen for the winter.

There's actually 3 cucumbers in this picture. One of them was shy. It was a real pickle.

Beautiful cukes, Mark! Shy or not, they will be yummy!

Yesterday, I picked my first mess of sugar snaps—yum! I am taking them for lunch tomorrow to work. And I had a few in the garden…

My cukes are up, it is months until I get to see fruit, or so it seems now. It is still early spring stuff here- lambs quarters, orach, beet thinnings, green onions, and radishes. Today I will pick lettuce from the greenhouse.

I guess this the first cherokee tomato of 2024 that didn't start growing in 2023. Though it is growing on the almost dead stub of a bush from 2023.

Mark, I can almost taste it. I have successes and some not so successful this year. It is was it is.

Today I harvested blushing tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, cucumbers, and 4 purple hull pink-eyed peas. I think it was Yolos that introduced me to them. It's in the 100s now so getting anything close to ripe safely indoors. There's a huge Armenian cucumber I may give to a neighbor as I am eating pepper-cucumber salad and cucumber and bell salad every day.

Picked a couple more Beit Alpha cucumbers this evening. Yesterday these cucumbers were only about 2" long, and their size caught me by surprise this evening. Very Happy

We are getting one or two per day off of this vine.

Micro, micro greens! Tiny arugula that were culled. They look huge in this close-up, but they're only about 2" tall.

The Jalafuego Jalapeno Peppers turned into bacon wrapped poppers

With assistance, the garlic was harvested. Most of it will be dehydrated, but 3 of the bulbs are suitable for storage.

OhioGardener 7/28/2024, 7:58 pm

Picked mostly summer squash and cucumbers today, along with a few bell peppers and a couple eggplants.

I'm jealous! I was only able to do tomatoes and herbs this year as we are preparing to move (again! This will be #36!) and while I have a few green tomatoes, nothing ripe yet. (E TN zone 7a)

OhioGardener 7/31/2024, 3:01 pm

Daily picking of cucumbers and summer squash. Having a hard time keeping up with them, but the pickles will be great this winter. Very Happy

Good looking produce. The only thing I picked (or vacuumed) was a leaf-footed bug. Razz
