My mixed lettuce from the garden is finally ready and I am really enjoying my salad with radishes and greens from the garden topped with chickpeas and a few onions with a spicy southwest dressing!

MMMMMMMMMMMM-love this time of year!

Enjoy

Finally harvesting from the garden

We have gotten some great radishes from the garden-but one of the varieties did not develop into actual radishes.

So what to do with all the radish greens? Funny you should ask---

Tonight I am going to make sauteed radish greens with a little garlic, onion and then I found a recipe that made a dressing with Siracha, lemon juice and olive oil.

Sounds interesting enough to me.

Anyone else ever made radish greens???

Second Planting Completed

The weather this Spring has been not so user friendly for our gardens. This caused me to have to purchase 40 tomato plants and 40 pepper plants this past weekend. All of the plants that I started from seed did not survive the windy conditions that have occurred almost everyday since I planted them a few weeks ago.

It is dissapointing that the original plants did not make it-but hopefully I will have better luck next year!

Hope all of your gardens are progressing nicely!
