my first harvest

[Guest guest]

Yesterday I picked my first veggies from the garden, radishes. We are

growing the Alta Globe, a nice round, red skinned radish with a

refreshing bite and a delayed peppery flavor. I will need to plant

more seeds because I'll be out after three more pickings!

 

More seeds that have come up: sweet peas, two types of bush beans-Blue

Lake, Kentucky(?), cannelini beans (legumes), cauliflower.

 

Donna - I keep forgetting to look at the names of the other veggies

I've planted, as you asked one time. I know I also have Yellowstone

and Nante carrots, walla walla onions, red burgermeister onion, white

spanish onion, another yellow onion, I can't remember the type of

broccoli and cabbage that I'm growing. And I have 8 varieties of potatoes.

Within 2 months I will be a cooking and preserving maniac! Horse

riding may have to go on hold for a while!

 

Just to let you all know, the space I am growing all of this in: 2

beds are 3'x12', one bed is 4'x20' and the potatoes have their own

beds, 3'x5' and 3'x4'. This is all within a 50 sf space and I still

have lots of unused space, which I will fill with my summer squash,

and lemon cucumber.

 

I LOVE growing my own food. It's rewarding to see everything come up,

I know it's fresh and chemical free and it tastes so much better than

the store. There is a movement going on with those people involved

with sustainable agriculture. They are taking this " Homeland Security "

to another level and encouraging people to grow their own food.

There's no security like home produced foods. This is the type of

Homeland Security I support!

Mazel tov!

I am planning to go to Iowa in a couple a' weeks. Too

bad I can't come watch your garden growing. Wouldn't

that be fun(?). Won't be going any farther west than

Iowa City... maybe the Amanas. Ok... maybe Tanger

Outlet Mall in Williamsburg. :^)
