I am glad that you are now officially here, after arriving two months early. Although the warm weather and rain are much appreciated, they have made my baby turnips bolt. I am not pleased. Not. Pleased.
Regards,
Ivy
This is not to say, however, that all the plants in our garden have decided to flower. In fact, most are doing quite well and are big enough for me to eat this week. For example, the asparagus…
We have had fresh asparagus with almost every dinner for the past week.
Several pounds of broccoli and collard greens have turned the refrigerator into a jungle. And what with the beds of overwintered kale and spinach, I should have no worries about getting my daily value of Vitamins A, C, and K (1 cup of kale has 1328% of the daily value of Vitamin K!). Also in the garden are radishes and a variety of herbs. We still have dried garlic and hot peppers from last year. The one thing we are out of, and that I neglected to get at Atherton, is onions. The onions in the ground now are still too small to harvest, but there is an abundance of wild onions in the rest of the yard, and I would only need a few to get the same flavor…hmm…
Yummy! What are your plans for the onions? What type of wild onions do you have in your yard? We have onion grass up here and it looks like a cross between chives and a scallion. Smells a little garlicky too, but tastes pretty good. Don’t think it’s toxic… ;}
I think we have the same kind. It’s pretty powerful, but non-toxic (I ate it on a dare once). I’ll probably go to the farmer’s market tomorrow and see if I can get some spring onions.
