Time for Salad!

You read that right! Salad straight out of the garden last night.2016-03-29 17.21.24

Arugula, kale, Indian and Dragon Tongue mustards, butterheart lettuce and garlic chives. Just picked a leaf or two off the outside of each plant to make this yummy side for dinner.

Something new – I discovered that baby mustard greens taste like – wait for it – mustard! Everything is looking great in the beds with the exception of the escarole. Guess that one isn’t happening.

Look at the super large kohlrabi! I’m hoping it will grow the root soon.

In the Beginning

vegetables

Welcome! Follow along with me as I try gardening for the first time! My grandfather and mother are both amazing gardeners who could grow anything. Grapefruit, oranges, lemons, tomatoes, peppers, avocados, flowers, figs, mangoes, papayas – nothing seemed to wither on the vine.

Then there is me.  I’ve never had success with plants, but that is going to change this summer!  The picture above is what I see in my mind. I’m hoping that my kitchen counter will look like this. (OK, not the mushrooms, but you get the idea).

I intend to detail the journey here on a weekly basis. We’ll have to wait to see how my garden grows. Hope you stick around!
