Tomato Salad

Lindsay realized that we only have one variety of red tomatoes in the garden. Eek! Oh well, green, yellow and orange will have to do!

Enough red to make to even it out.

A Garden Update

Last night we made a trip to check out the garden. Jonathan (sadly) had not been to the garden since before his trip to Las Vegas. The tomatoes, onions and peas are doing very well. The potatoes are being overtaken by some very fat, very happy little grub-looking things. We'll need to find a remedy for that situation and fast. But, for last night anyways, they looked too happy to disturb so we left them to their feasting.

We couldn't resist picking three small baskets of peas, all of which were eaten when we got home. As you can see from the picture above, even the kids enjoy the green peas. Sarah ate several handfuls before we were able to put them into the pot to cook. For those of you who have only eaten peas of the canned variety, come out to the farm and try one fresh out of the pod. It tastes like summer.

We also picked almost 20cups of basil (which is doing quite well by the way). We'll be making fresh pesto for Saturday morning. In the meantime, the whole kitchen smells like a basil plant (which is a good thing!).

Anyway, here's what's growing:
Tomatoes
Squash
Onions
Peas
Turnips
Potatoes
Beets
Cilantro
Basil
Strawberries

OK, enough blogging, it's time to weed.

Spring Planting 2010

We got down and dirty this weekend at Harvest Farms planting seeds for our Spring Garden. We were a little concerned about the moisture levels in the soil considering the amount of snow and recent rainfall we've received in the past couple of months but, with two days of sunshine and wind, the topsoil in the garden was just about perfect for planting.

We planted carrots, peas, beans, turnips, mustard greens... I know I'm leaving out a couple of things but I'll be sure to get the complete list to post from Lindsay.

Check out the pictures on our Facebook Page and, while you're there you may as well become a fan and stay up to date on all of our garden antics (if there is such a thing)! Here's to Spring!
