Last cauliflower, either today or tomorrow.

Delicious asparagus , the bed is doing well starting nearly three weeks early. Yesterday I gave the bed a pelleted chicken muck feed and set up the automatic watering on the bed .. It should be doing great right till the end of the season in early June

Last year's Jerusalem Artichokes (aka Fartichokes) I just lifted from their winter slumber.

Never heard them called that before! I had to get rid of all of the sunchokes - they became a deer magnet, and the deer were willing to go through anything to get to them.

No kidding! Hm... That's making me reconsider. Last year I planted a bunch into a fallow field just to have a place to put them away from the SFG. Nothing ate them because this Spring they're sprouting up again. Maybe the deer just didn't find them last year. Did your deer dig up the tubers or just go for the greens?

They just ate the tops of them, down to about a foot high. As soon as the plants would regrow, they would eat them off again, and then go looking for more delicious vegetables. I have several acres of old pasture behind me that is just full of luscious grass and clover, but they don't stop to eat that and head right for the yard where the gardens are.

Still not much growing. I'm looking at these old Kale and Cabbage plants and trying to decide what to do with them. They were planted last year, and are now bolted. The cabbage isn't even a head. I think I want the seeds. I ate a kale leaf and it didn't taste bad.

White mulberries starting. Tiny, but sooo sweet. I love you

lvanderb on 5/7/2020, 9:39 pm

Kale and some collard greens. They overwintered and have not yet been attacked and eaten by the cabbage worm, although I did see one of the cabbage moths yesterday...seriously? Argh!

Sorry, got a bit off track there! The kale is not bitter at all, had some in my green smoothie this morning too.

Air Fryer Radish Chips with Ranch Dressing. Great snack!

OldCrow on 5/11/2020, 5:34 pm

Our dinner salad had a few leaves from our Freckle Lettuce. Yumm Smile

Can't wait for the radishes to get busy!

**sanderson** on 5/12/2020, 5:25 am

Three (3) strawberries, and 4 Seasons lettuce for our salads.

Radishes, a turnip, and lettuce on my ham and cheese!

OhioGardener on 5/17/2020, 7:21 pm

Sauteed Kale with Garlic, and a piece of Rhubarb Pie for dessert.

**Scorpio Rising** on 5/17/2020, 8:38 pm

My rhubarb isn’t quite ready...getting there!!! Can’t wait!

OhioGardener on 5/17/2020, 8:51 pm

I have 3 Glaskins Perpetual Rhubarb plants that I started from seed last year - the seeds came from Baker Creek - but, the plants are not big enough to start harvesting stalks yet this year. I am looking forward to trying those plants as they are advertised as "the thick stalks are bitter free, deep red at the base and shading to green toward the leaf".

5 string beans. Shredded kohlrabi. Celeriac stems and leaves. Russian kale leaves.

CitizenKate on 5/18/2020, 1:04 am

Mostly Butter Crunch lettuce. Yesterday's harvest was enough to fill my 5.0L lettuce tub.

These hybrid gentry are small, but they sure develop fast.

For tonights evening meal Canned broad beans from last year ….. garden to freezer & vac pack in about 23 minutes IIRC . Delicious almost like fresh ones .

The last of the leeks , I love my leeks ….. I'm clearing the bed tomorrow ready for spinach , beet root & celeriac .

Also had some of last years garlic to flavour my boneless pan fried pork chop . Again the bed it was in now has kale that has run to seed , so it too gets sorted tomorrow .
