Eating from the Garden

 

We are flush with potatoes, tiny tomatoes, and soybean pods.  Today I snagged a bowl full of soybeans and cooked them up.  You might know them as edamame.

Planting for fall will happen soon, and I'm hoping to put most of the spring things that we missed planting into the ground!

End of May Garden Update

This is best shown.  We were gone half of May but came home to a flourishing garden.

Even the soy beans are starting to come in, although because the soil wasn't quite warmed through, they took their time in budding. (This is something I learned from a co-worker, that soil temperature determines when things blossom and ripen.)

 

We have a lot still to do.  We planted a few more things that we got at the Farmer's Market this past weekend - a replacement jalapeno pepper, another tomato, and some basil; but the herb garden is overrun with mint and pineapple mint, and I need to harvest and leave room for other things.
