The Future of My Garden 07/06/2011
 "Future" eggplant Parmigiana. I count five eggplant. Find them.  This is 'future' tomato something. Like sauce. Ketchup. Juice.  These are Roma tomatoes. Future salsa. These got worm tea a couple of days ago. Hopefully they will start 'jumpin off', like Farmer J says.  The basil IS jumpin' off. I planted it all over the place. Soon I will be pinching off the tops to encourage the plants to branch out and the leaves to get bigger. That way I can harvest several times a week and still keep my plants. Yeah! I want to show you how to use up cooked chicken or turkey and basil to make a one-pot-dish. I love it.  My first zucchini. It can be picked now. You don't know how much it kills me to buy zucchini. I go through so much of it for my zucchini bread. Or shall I say 'crack bread'.  Patty pan squash. Bunches of patty pan. Sauteed veggies. Yumm.  Throw in some herbs. Parsley and marjoram. Maybe some thyme or chives would be good, too.  The Bok Choi is ready to start to cut. I think some worm tea would do these veggies good, too.   Just so you can see some progress...the potatoes. I need to put up some boards on the sides of this bed and fill it with dirt. Especially if I want a bunch of potatoes. Which I do.  Basil. Basil. Basil. Did I tell you how much I love Basil? Well, I do. ******************************************************************************* Add Comment A Look At My Garden 06/30/2011
 This is what my beautiful garden looks like today. Just about ready to explode.  I see four eggplants on this one alone. Enough to make at least two cake pans of eggplant Parmesan. I have eight more plants. Yeah!  Look at the blooms on this one. It sure is promising!  Basil is coming up everywhere! I planned it like that. Once they get a little taller, I will 'top' them so the leaves get bigger. Basil is my most favorite herb. Speaking of herbs...  As you can see here, my tarragon is out of control.  This is what it looks like now. I also whacked down the chives, lemon balm, sage, and thyme. I had to do this because the tarragon was shading the okra (to the west). Goat food now.  This is the Bok Choi. I think I may plant some more. Look closely to the left of the photo. We have a volunteer tomato. Cherry, I would guess. We shall find out.  Here is my Swiss Chard. The chard comes in different colors, too. It is what they call a "cut and come again" crop. There are a few bald spots I plan on filling in.  My beautiful zucchini. Aspiring to be zucchini bread. Yumm! Sis loved my zucchini bread and my apple pie the best. ******************************************************************************* |  ArchivesMay 2012 CategoriesAll |
