First Harvest!! - Memorial Day Weekend update

Summer is so close, I can almost taste it!

On Saturday when we went to the plot we brought home some of our first harvests of french radishes, spinach, and cilantro! We spent the other part of the afternoon thinning out the tomatillo plants from the row to allow them enough room to continue to mature and produce plenty of tomatillos. When Tera was cutting the spinach, the rain came and drenched us both!

We very much enjoyed a tasty pasta salad that included the radishes, spinach, and a homemade dressing later in the weekend.

Tera's digging in the dirt! :-)

We went to Home Depot and bought a few big containers that are on the balcony now. This should lead to some vegetables and herbs at my fingertips as the summer goes on. And yes, I couldn't pass up the Topsy Turvy (as seen on TV!). We'll see if it goes as planned. In the containers right now there's basil, swiss chard, chives, and tomatoes.

I'm looking forward to having more time on my hands very soon so that the updates are more real time than weeks behind. Hang in there, there's much more to come on plot #10 in the weeks to come! Summer vacation is around the corner for this teacher!
