Gardening

[Gourmet_Mom]

Well, the garden wasn't quite as wet as I feared. I just went barefooted and let the mud squish...LOL! Here's a few shots of the garden, the harvest, and a link to the rest of todays pics. The Garden I didn't want to post them all here...too much space.

I'm envious, all I have is a few small tomatoes and a few bell peppers...'course that's about all I've planted due to the cold weather.

I just want to know how you got that picture of me among the squash.

Funny Labs! That's Cricket. She LOVES the lake, but she likes the camp, too!

I need to get a picture of her "fishing" in the lake...her second favorite pasttime after "fetch". She fishes with a ball or pine cone in her mouth. I swear, the dog has an oral fixation like no other Lab we've ever had!!!!

Add me to the envious list! All I have is a basil plant. LOL. (We live in a condo with just a porch).

Daphne I am as green as can be. Your garden is beautiful! Those beets are mouthwatering - and the squash!!!! About all I have so far are tomatoes, some teeny squash, and microscopic cucumbers!

This heat will help though!

I just finished roasting off the beets...took longer than I figured. I hope I did it right...fork tender? Tomorrow, ravioli! I'll probably do a squash casserole...been a long time...and maybe a pork tenderloin. I'm not sure about the beets, but I'm giving them a try! I remember not liking them cooked as a child...just pickled. We'll see! I can't find enough beet greens worth trying. We didn't use any pesticides, so they're buggy. Oh well!

I'm very pleased with the garden. I wish we had done more potatoes, but after using some of the larger ones for potato salad tonight, had to taste, we've decided to plant some more! YUMMMY! I can't wait until the first corn! No sign of worms...yet. And then there's all those tomatoes! LOTS of them!

Oh my, I am so jealous! What a beautiful garden! These are pictures of my piddly little garden - with the coldest June on record!




And MY harvest today - not much to write home about, Except the Rhubarb

[Harborwitch]

We did potatoes one year - in a HUGE pot in the yard. The flavor was so incredible, so intensely POTATO.

Trying to describe beets - sweet as sugar and earthy. I love them so much. I'm making more ravioli now, taking a break it's hotter than #### in the kitchen right now.

Lol well I just harvest my second tomato I am so jealous of the land you have to plant so many wonderful things. I can just taste all the flavors. So it looks like you have lots of extras..I'll go sit on the front porch and wait for the FedEX man. Of course in 108 degree heat here I won't be able to sit out long.

Esgunn you doing the Square Foot gardening? By Bartholomew?
