Garden Update 6/13

Harvested all the lettuce yesterday!



Monster Tomato! Golden Cherry from the nursery... got a nice cluster of buds!
These tomatoes I started from seed! Heirloom "Early Red Cheif"

Potatoes I pulled from the compost bin where they were trying to grow!
Heirloom "Top Crop" Green Beans. Bush type, growing intensively in a container!

And all ready lot's of little bean flowers!

Ridiculously fast growing radishes. "Cherry Belle"
Planted from seed only a few weeks ago and almost fat enough to harvest! I don't even know if I like radishes!
Basil... also from seed! Gonna be making some pesto in a few weeks!

Started this Chive and Thyme from seed. Eventually they will live in the back garden!

Jalapeno Babies!

Recently started "Kentucky Wonder" mix of green and wax beans! Pole type will cover that fence soon!

Pumpkins! Lost one to wind, still 2 healthy ones!

A  new cucumber "Spacemaster" that can be grown in hanging planters!

In the center of this photo is a big Horseradish plant Ben's friend gave us last year! I almost pulled it out thinking it was weeds but looks like we will have a bumper crop! Sinus cleanser anyone?



 So far so good, I'd say!

Ben's muscles and my green thumb will have us eating good soon enough!

We've all ready been eating salads for a few months, and peas too (though our crop was sad... will plant more for fall!) But this is what they looked like!


Fresh garden peas quickly blanched then sauteed in butter with shallots and kosher salt!
