Showing off produce from my mini garden
I'm sure your all starting to enjoy the first vegetables from your garden. On Sunday for Father's Day I picked a some mixed greens, rocket lettuce and radishes to make a delicious post-dinner salad for my dad and other company. I've been dying to taste fresh, tender Ontario lettuce all winter, and there I was savouring lettuce from my own back porch. It's led me to one conclusion: Summer is grand!
Delicious back porch goodness! I can't wait for my green onions, carrots and tomatoes ...
What have you been enjoying from your vegetable patch?
Don't forget to enter my PC Green giveaway! I'll be announcing a winner this Friday.

We've had one strawberry and a bunch of radishes, as well as green onions. I can't wait for the cherry tomatoes!

I have a little bowl of strawberries so far and rhubarb. Oh my, we have rhubarb, lol. It's a huge plant and it's taking over the veggie patch. I've shared a lot and enjoyed an apple rhubarb pie, too. My radishes, well we got two and I've replanted them. You need to keep them evenly moist, and I forgot to water, lol. But things are a growing and I have one lettuce coming up, some carrots and will soon have more. The little row of peas is growing... soon we'll enjoy a bit more yummy eats.
Your radishes are very pretty by the way - I love the two tones in them - makes you want to crunch them up!

sounds like we are all enjoying rhubarb and strawberries - unfortunately for us, our neighbourhood chipmunks are enjoying our strawberries more than we are! we also have chives and green onions. i need to try planting lettuce again - my first lot didn't come up. i, too, look forward to fresh tomatoes from the garden - roma to freeze, cherry for salads and beefsteak for burgers and sandwiches!

The cooler spring has been good to my lettuce, which I mainly grow in my pots. I have been able to harvest lettuce every day for about a week and a half now. I have started some more in pots as they are easy to grow in pots without any bugs eating it. I am anticipating peas and herbs next and hopefully cherry tomatoes.
