Today's Harvest

This morning I went out into the garden and harvested some red globe radishes. As I pulled them up, I was glad to find that they were in pretty good condition - no insect damage whatsoever. I have to admit, I don't even remember the last time I ate a radish. They're not that high up on my list of favorite vegetables. I ended up giving this bunch to my sister-in-law who was visiting for the day.

Once washed, I was amazed by their color! Talk about in your face - they seemed to radiate a kind of natural florescence. I hope they end up tasting as good as they look. I am excepting a bigger harvest in this upcoming week.


I also harvested a BIG bowl of mesclun greens for lunch. Picked and then eaten within an hour - doesn't get much fresher than this. They were delicious! Spicy, lemony and almost wild tasting. I served them with some homemade quiche lorraine. I will definitely be growing this again next year. Even my 2 year old son liked it. (He won't go near cake, but he'll reach for this oddly enough.)


As you can see, I harvested about half of what I have growing in the garden. Hopefully, it will regrow quickly and I'll be able to get a couple more cuttings after this.
