Garden Harvest Mid-June

We've finally been blessed with partially sunny days with daytime temps in the 60s and 70s. Although, it really doesn't feel much like June yet. Such a slow start to spring and the Summer Solstice is quickly approaching this week.

Most everything is continuing to grow in my kitchen garden. This is what all I'm harvesting this week:

Peas: Sugar Snap & Snow
Lettuce: Red Romaine, Buttercrunch, Looseleaf
Mesclun Mix
Sorrel
Beet Greens
Giant Red Mustard Greens
Radishes
Scallions
Onions: Walla Walla overwintered-started last summer
Herbs: Basil, Cilantro, Dill, Fennel, Oregano, Parsley, Chives, Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, Tarragon
Edible Flowers: Roses, Pansies, Violets, Calendula, Blue Borage, Nasturtium

And, let's not forget THE FIRST STRAWBERRIES OF THE SEASON!
It's really hard to let them get large and fully ripe because they look so delicious and yummy I immediately want to eat them ALL straight off the plant. There is a different shade of red, tenderness and of course sweet flavor that comes only from home-grown freshly-picked strawberries. You will never get this flavor from store bought strawberries.

In Health,
