What did you eat from the garden for dinner today.

[tedln]

Everything in my garden is beginning to trickle in now. I've been harvesting a lot of yellow squash for a couple of weeks. Harvested my garlic about three weeks ago. My cucumbers are producing heavy with some really nice, 14" cukes. I'm starting to pick a few tomatoes. My yard long beans have enough on the trellis to make a good pot of beans. We are having a family dinner Saturday, so I will wait until Saturday to harvest the beans and I will have enough for everyone to eat. I really like those yard long beans.

This evening, I grilled some Talapia fillets and yellow squash on the grill. We had some of the ice cold cucumber spears and tomatoes for dinner. Everything but the fish came from the garden and it was very, very good. What did you have from your garden?

Nothing at all, I am still planting, I don't even have squash in the ground yet!
Lettuce and radishes were a bust, and nothing is ready, not even blooming, except the pak choi, and I don't think it should be doing that, so it likely bolted too!
Poke Sallet is looking good!

Cilantro, lemon balm, green onion, and jalapeno chopped up, went into last summer's jar of tomatoes for a quick salsa.

I've been snacking on strawberries and sugarsnap and snow peas all day. Oh, and a lone raspberry

Lettuce and more green onions in the chicken salad, but yesterday was the big salad day with 4 kinds of lettuce, Kale, lambs quarters, Japanese parsley, carrot thinnings, and radish, snap peas and snowpeas.

BLTs with fresh lettuce !! Sigh, no tomatoes yet...

Lettuce, green onions, spaghetti sauce from tomato sauce frozen last year, a couple of strawberries.

[gixxerific]

A small salad and a bunch of peas with onion and a pinch of cinnamon basil with the peas.

By the way if you haven't grown the cinnamon basil you need to, it's so good.

Oh the main course was chicken marinated in a almond sauce all of this not from the garden.

Last night I had a salad with cucumber, tomato and basil. I also had a hand full of raw green beens.

The damn squirrels had a buffet of half ripe tomatoes. I was rather pissed off this morning. :

I had some lettuce but the dogs ate 5 broccoli plants - my house guests (family from the city) left the garden gate open.

I built a nice planter box for my herbs this year. I planted sweet basil, lemon thyme, lavender, and sage. They are doing great. For some reason I can't seem to remember that I have some really nice herbs growing when I cook. That thyme would have been great on the fish fillets and the basil would have been great on the squash and with the fresh tomatoes.

I have been really enjoying my mints. I have spearmint, peppermint and lemon balm. I cut some of each and chop it to use in all kinds of recipes. Last night for dinner I layered a one dish meal. I started with some chicken wings, added purchased mushrooms which I sliced, added baby red potatoe chunks (purchased) and red, yellow, and orange bell pepper slices (also purchased). I can't wait till mine are ready! But, i used my basil, tyme, rosemary and sage, and mints all chopped together with garlic and sprinkled over the top. Covered and baked. OMG it was sooooo delicious. Those fresh herbs really make a difference! the only other spice I added were some red pepper flakes and a dash of old bay spice for some heat. My hot peppers are finally showing so i can't wait to be able to add them for the heat.

So Ted, remember those herbs! They add so much to a meal.

Bit early in the season for me to harvest much right now....although I am near to enjoying some new potatoes!

But I am enjoying fresh eggs from my three hens who are having a good life in their little ark. A great way to fertilise the garden and also to have fresh eggs each and every day.

I pulled my first yard long beans this week. We steamed up a small batch and had them with lunch. They were good, although a little stringy. I'll have to pull them earlier on the next bunch, which is close behind. They are major producers. I use fresh basil and mint when I cook and it adds a lot.

Some of my tom's are almost ready. I think we'll be able to eat them this week sometime.

Nothing else is close, but the green beans are coming along. Black eyed peas, okra a cukes are growing like crazy. They are only maybe 3-4 weeks old but plants are healthy and strong.

My goal this summer is to have a meal using nothing but garden produce and venison or fish I've taken. If the veggies keep moving forward, that should be easy. I've still got venison left from this past season and there is always plenty of fish.

Last night I had lentils & sausages and I added carrots, broccoli & green beans from my garden

[LindsayArthurRTR]

Last night we had sauted zucchini and sugar snap peas and roasted red peppers (jarred from last years garden)with garlic and olive oil. Tossed in a jar of sundried tomato Alfredo sauce and served with linguini...

Uh... I've made myself drool I have leftovers for lunch today at work!!! Awe, now I can't wait

I found a ripe blackberry!
And that is my harvest!
June is still planting time for me.
