<\/a>Our first Zucchini, some baby Swiss Chard, a dozen or so Snow Peas, and fresh herbs (basil leaves, thyme sprigs, and a few Italian Parsley leaves). These made up the veggies part of our dinner.<\/p><\/div>\n
Saute in a baking pan until tender, then add a few beaten eggs, place on top a few slices of fresh tomato, and some Almond milk mozzarella cheese slices, and bake until puffed.\u00a0 Add some Tabasco sauce and serve. \u00a0 Yummy.<\/p>\n
We’ve been having salads and stir fry as well.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Lots of lettuce plants. We've been thinning them and eating at the same time. The zucchini plant is starting to produce a lot of baby zucchinis.<\/p><\/div>\n
Behind the zucchini plant, the marigolds are making lots of blooms, and next to it two spaghetti squash plants are setting the gourds.\u00a0 They are very small yet, but we have probably six weeks until frost, so we are hopeful.<\/p>\n
The tomato plants are setting lots of fruit now, and we are hopeful that we will have enough fruit to make tomato sauce for the winter, plus lots of fresh fruit to eat on the salads.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/a>More lettuce, and we just picked one of the four Napa Chinese Cabbage plants in this picture. It is huge and takes up a big space in the refrigerator. Stir fry veggies is the plan for lunch today.<\/p><\/div>\n
Beets are about an inch in diameter at the moment, so they are growing well.\u00a0 The carrots are still tiny, in no hurry to grow evidently.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Our corn plants are almost four feet tall now, if you count the first two feet of the raised beds.<\/p><\/div>\n
We can safely say that corn is not in our immediate future from these plants.\u00a0 We MIGHT see an ear of corn, but highly unlikely.\u00a0 The beet plants behind them are really looking nice, and behind the beet plants the green beans are all starting to set baby green beans like crazy.\u00a0 In a few days we will have all the fresh green beans we can stand.\u00a0 I’ll have to start doing some preserving this next week.<\/p>\n
<\/a>Swiss Chard is such a pretty plant. We have two rows of it, planted almost a month apart, and the plants are virtually identical in size.<\/p><\/div>\n
Swiss Chard is the best ingredient to have in a fritatta.\u00a0 Next year the plants will have a head start as they will come up again from the roots as soon as the ground thaws.<\/p>\n
<\/a>An heirloom tomato plant that our friend Susan gave to us is starting to bloom. We might get a tomato off it.<\/p><\/div>\n
The watermelon plant behind the tomato plant is just barely starting to bloom – no melons in our future either.\u00a0 June was just too cool and wet for any of the melon plants.\u00a0 They like hot weather.<\/p>\n
Something about our soil is not to the liking of the pepper plants.\u00a0 None of them are thriving.\u00a0 Next year we will have to figure that out.\u00a0 Perhaps more nitrogen….<\/p>\n
