Today's harvest

[swimboy]

From our community garden plot this evening:


A sinkful of sweet and tender chard


An astounding number of (now shelled) peas


A radish that got away from us

Good eats--livin' off the land.

2. Thanks!

Man, do peas take a long time to shell!

:hi:

3. I wonder if I could grow them here.

I'm thinking not. Too hot, most likely.

But durn, those look good.

5. You could probably grow them in the late fall or early spring. n/t

8. Yum.

Nice photos too.

We haven't had much luck with peas.
They get about 3' high, make flowers.....and then nothing. :(

But BEANS.....
We GOT beans!

9. My lettuce is past its prime, but the collards I interspersed are up and growing

I am ready to harvest my first grape tomatoes. My chard is doing well, but not near what you show. My jalapenos are blooming, and my black pearl have decided to grow. Basil, rosemary, chives, oregano and cillantro are doing fine. The cilantro bolted real early.

10. Not sure about the peas yet either

I'm playing with container gardening this year. The onions, 'maters and peppers are looking good. The baby rabbit decimated the spinach down below the deck, but has left the basil, maters and onions alone.

Fresh garden salad to go with the lemon/dilled/onioned salmon for Daddy's Day. I'll pick that stuff in a bit to make sure it's chilled. Spinach is about done, but there's a ton of Romaine, buttercrunch and a bit of iceberg yet. Radishes just don't do well. Must be something in the soil. I got enough to color up the salad, but some of it is ready to bolt. That's OK - they have pretty yellow flowers.

11. I'm doing a container garden too. I live in a townhouse so I am limited

in what I can do. This year I have grape tomatoes and roma. The roma are a bit late. Next year I will start earlier. I have a Black Krim tomato. I am hoping to ferment and dry some seeds so I can grow some next year.
