Home grown

It’s very satisfying to go out into the garden and pick vegetables for dinner. This year’s garden is providing plenty. Sugar pea pods, above, thrive in our climate.

Lettuce also grows well here. I’ve been able to share this year’s bounty with others.

We’re growing two kinds of beets. This is a red ace, a classic red beet. We also have candy stripe, a white beet with red stripes. Fresh home grown beets are sweet and delicious; the greens, cooked like chard, are a bonus.

We’re also enjoying kale. This year’s garden additionally includes leeks, red onions, cherry tomatoes, and delicata squash. Scarlet runner beans are coming along nicely, visited regularly by local hummingbirds that like their bright red blossoms.

  1. What a wonderful thing to have such a bountiful garden. You have me craving a stir-fry with some of those fresh vegetables.

  2. I had my first harvest of snow peas on Sunday and they were so good. I grow in containers on the roof so I don’t get huge harvests but love the fresh veggies. Lots of tomatoes coming along.
