What are You Eating from the Garden?

Supposedly so is smut. Never had guts to try. I’ll let you eat the immature silks. I know deer love them-sweet.

In from the Hoophouse and In for a Rinse

This is the first of the seed-grown crops for 2020. We have had some 2019 bok choy that survived and appreciated having the plastic film pulled over them in March. We could have started seed in the heated greenhouse and transplanted them under the hoophouse but I don't know that we would be bringing them into the kitchen any sooner. I suppose so.

These have been in freezing conditions several times over the last few weeks. It's only a few degrees warmer in there than the outdoor, overnight temperature, especially if there hasn't been any sunshine through the daylight hours. I haven't put a heater in the hoophouse yet this spring.

Some little plants from a second sowing of seed are now in an outdoor bed.

HA, HA!! Some of last year's carrots were up. 4 inch long skinny things, so they become horse treats!

Why bother? I also let the dogs lick the dinner plates clean, so I can put them away immediately.

We had sauteed asparagus and elephant garlic scapes tonight. We never had scapes before. I tried them raw and they were a bit spicy. But man, after sauteeing, they were good!
