Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
CN, I grew kohlrabi for the first time this past year, and like you, I fell in love!! I am a radish, turnip fan, and these things rocked! Can’t wait for my spring fix!

Yummy!

Veggies I grew last spring/summer/fall and froze. English peas, Rattlesnake Beans and new potatoes, Corn, purchased broccoli (because we already ate all the broccoli we froze) and corn bread.

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Now the snow has gone here in South Wales UK I took a walk in the the veg beds area and pulled out a nice 3/4 dia leek and a carrot . The carrot after trimming the top and some of the root tip weighted 478 grams ( about a pound & one ounce ) . 1 lb is 454 gram .
It was as thick as a standard 330 ml coke can and slightly longer than two stood end to end .
So far the carrot has given three of us one meal , tonight we'll be having some more and it's on the menu for Sunday lunch tomorrow . There might even be some left for making chicken stock.

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Suz,
I cheated ,
Nine or so years ago I made my own MM as per Mel Bartholomew's formula but for the animal based dung manure element I used nine different animals dropping & urine soaked straw bedding that I religiously composted using the Berkley 18 day hot composting method . My bed are 36 inches deep brick built beds , the first six inches being filled with coarse sand , the rest with my home made Mel's Mix.
My beds are set out in three blocks of six or eight each is four foot by three foot wide …. I have a total of 250 sq feet of beds made like this
with three bed of a larger area that form part of the raised bed landscaping .
It suits me to grow a single crop in each bed most of the time as I also practice pressure canning and preserving crops so I like a decent batch to work with at a time .
So as a consequence practice crop rotation in the beds .. seems to work well for me .
My gardens are so fertile I could grow a conscience on a politician ....

This brought up a mind picture from an old movie -- Back to the Future. Remember when the manure truck backed up and dumped its load on Biff? Now -- without naming any names -- imagine your "favorite" politician in Biff's place, Plantoid's fertile mix in the truck, and a conscience sprouting out of the politician's ear.

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
The final part of the carrot was used in a shrimp & veg curried stir-fry ( with separate fried egg noodles and fried dark brown onions ) , for last night's even meal .
That means we've had four meals off the carrot and the dog got the rather large top & tail ends as a treat .
I was showing a visitor the ANSFG beds yesterday … found more of these " Baby carrots " as I carefully move the MM back from the crown of the fist two carrots I came to .
His comment on seeing the two coke can thick top ends of the carrots set three inches apart and the others in the grids in the same carrot bed , ……………..
" Wow"
I've given him the site details , so maybe he'll come along & join us .

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Looks great, TD!!
I had pesto sauce onrather limp zucchini noodles which I had prepared and then frozen: NOT recommended! Very wet, limp, cooked weird just not like fresh zoodles at all...
All in all, my pesto is under blended. I did it in a blender and I needed (now have) a food processor...but the problem was the noodles. Bummed to discard so much parmy, basil, pinenuts, $$$

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Mrs TD says I have found a new garden edible that will not find it's way into our kitchen. We took three of our grandkids to a butterfly conservatory today. They had a Bug Feast on. I was the only one brave enough to taste the BBQ roasted crickets as well as fudge with roasted ants. I also held a rather large green bug.

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Yesterday
Blanched frozen Cauliflower from September 2018 to accompany pan fried porkchop on the bone , mashed potatoes & shop carrots with lashings of onion gravy .
For lunch spicy delicious curried diced beef & vegetable soup made with home canned beef stock & home canned tomatoes from out our green house ( Sept 2018 ).
Pressure cooked the veg & beef for 30 min in an electric pressure cooker first , then pan fried three heaped teaspoons of a gentle medium curry powder in a little olive oil & put it in a big pan to simmer for 15 min .
It needed some thing to round it up and take the tomato edge of the soup so I added a table spoon of warm sweet chilli sauce = Delicious & warming soup.
Today …
I get to have the final portion of it in a few minutes at lunch time .
Tea time
I think it will be something using some fresh green growth off cabbages that grew from over wintered X cut stalk tops off ball cabbages ….if it lets up chucking it down with rain .
If not looks like it will be some sort of home made pasta slop

Re: What are you eating from your garden today?
Oooo, Plantoid -- sounds yummy.
I discovered a handful of onions, still growing happily in a container by Katie's deck, from last year. They'll go into something good today or tomorrow.
