THE RELUCTANT GOURMET COOKING COMMUNITY

[ninjabut]

Well, I just noticed some small broccoli heads forming! My one brussel sprout plant that survived the gophers is about to give me a meal, I make a salad several times a week using lettuce, green onions, radishes, green peppers and a few of the last of the tomatoes that I brought in to ripen (they will ripen eventually if you pick them green. Not the flavor of summer/fall maters, but better than the store bought ones!)
I also have kale, kholrabi, celery, spinach (not doing well) chard, sugar snaps.
For early spring I have asparagus and artichokes planted. :P

Well, I'm eating veges from the garden at least a couple of times a week here in sunny (cold) CA.
We have broccoli at least 1x per week, have had brussel sprouts for a few weeks, more to come!
Tonight I noticed a bunch of newer shoots of chard, so we'll have that with onions, garlic and (store bought ) tomatoes!
I'm meeting up with a local gardener to swap seeds tomorrow, getting ready to start my first almost whole garden from seed! It should be fun!
I'm trading Atlantic Giant Pumpkin seeds for a zillion tomato seeds!
If anyone is interested about gardening, check out the Gardenweb.com site and cruise the site for anything gardening!
Happy veges and happy cooking WITH those veges!
