Me too! I wish I grew those veggies!

 

[Meadowlark]

I could not wait and had a raw taste test.

Excellent review and pictures. I often eat the red potatoes raw also...with just some salt on them.

The rains continue to plague my area of Texas and have especially adversely affected the tomatoes...maybe next year.

Thank you for the veggies! You set a high bar!

We had bough a piece of yam for cooking I noticed a slight projection on top which I sliced and planted it in a pot. This was almost a month ago. We have been having heavy rains these days and I was pleasantly surprised to see the sprout coming to life Shall leave it there for this year. I know the size of the yam will not be big.

 

[Ian]

I've already asked him and he said something about the program wasn't compatible or some such thing. That's what I don't understand. Every other computer program can do it, why not this one?

After the last upgrade we can do, so I've made it mandatory now

This past week we ate some delicious "weeds"! Another great dandelion salad including a couple flowers, Siberian Miners Lettuce on a smoked salmon burger, and I also mixed in a few leaves of sheep sorrel in a store bought salad! Yum!

I picked sugar peas, lettuce, and squash this morning before the "monsoon" hit. Yesterday the green bean plants dried off enough for me to safely pick beans--three quarts of them! I'll make up a small bag of fresh vegetables and drop them off to a friend who can't garden. He appreciates the veggies, and I appreciate not having to deal with an overabundance!

 

[Meadowlark]

Corn, corn and more corn. Will be a frequent picking now for several weeks. Small ears but powerful sweet taste make this a special treat.

 

[Mrsclem]

Black berries still going strong! Have at least a month before blueberry season starts. Still getting a few red and black raspberries so another mixed berry pie on the menu.

 

[Logan]

My blackberries are only in flower

 

[Logan]

Picked a few raspberries, don't have a lot of plants.

 

[grouie]

Spotted a mango sapling in one of our flower pots. How it got there is a questions I do not think I can answer. We actually have yielding mango trees but just could not ignore this. One more mango tree will not hurt. I have put it in a plastic bag for safe keeping and once the rain subsides it will be planted in the ground

 

[Logan]

Pulled 6lb and 8oz of more rhubarb.

 

[grouie]

Found 3 onions with roots in storage. Planted them and now I see leaves. Hoping I will get a ton of onions Wish me luck

I did that one year and got some really big yellow onions! Good luck to you!

Thank you. The weather here is not conducive to tubers. Keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[Logan]

Picked some blackcurrants, they're a sweet variety so don't need any sugar when using them.

 

[Logan]

Picked some more blackcurrants and I remembered to take a pic.
