Garden goodies
Jun. 21st, 2012 07:46 pmThis is the second harvest from the garden. The first was a bunch of radishes (one bigger than a golf balll) a couple days ago that I rogot to take a pic of.

The thing on the right is some red garlic that the person who had my plot last year planted. I figured it was getting *way* too big. The stalk is a good 18 inches long. I'll be chopping that up to add to dishes for flavoring.
The radishes will get washed off and eaten as snacks. The radish greens will get chopped up and added to some ramen to give me those good "leafy greens" vitamins.
A few carrots have sprouted (didn't help that something tried to dig a hole in the middle of that part of the garden.
The three tomato plants (cherry. roma, and cherokee purple) are growing well. The eggplant is struggling along.
I think the zuccinni and cucumber are finally starting to come up. No trace of the lemon cuciumber or the wildflowers in the two pots. :-(
The broccoli seeds sprouted and I have a few plants. Since the seeds are the result of a previous years plants going straight to sed without producing any useful heads, I've got no idea how well they'll do.
And I got given three "volunteer" miniature cauliflower plants that had sprouted in another tenant's plot. They are survivoing. Again, no idea how they'll do.
