Belated Harvest Monday, sans camera

Where did my camera disappear to?

Snow peas

Holy moly am I overrun with peas! I think I'll blanch and freeze this next group. I've used them in salads, stir-fries, a bf birthday mac n' "cheese", and of course just as hand-to-mouth snacks. It's a tough week for me at work.. I'm really glad that when I've been eating my feelings I've hit the peas first instead of the oreos. 

Basil

Yours truly made her first ever pesto! It rocked. I, therefore, rock. And I guess fresh basil is okay too. :)

Dill

Harvested some more leaves and made some more herb "cream cheese" and herb "butter".  All my dill plants (four total) are flowering now, so I need to decide when exactly to harvest these buggers for good. I wouldn't mind terribly if they seeded themselves, but I don't think I want them in those particular locations next year.

Scallions

Stir-fries, baked potatoes, future sushi, need I say more? 

Little Gem

These little heads are perfect for individual salads. Much love to Little Gem.


For all you gardeners out there, you should check out www.myfolia.com. There are a few kinks to work out, but it seems to be a fun tool for tracking your garden growth very specifically. You can keep track of all your plantings, giving them status updates as you see fit (Showing true leaves, Budding, Flowering, Harvesting, etc), search others' gardens, discuss specific plants, have people help you identify plants, swap seeds, etc. I'm enjoying using it so far. One reviewer wrote that it was "like facebook for gardeners". Agreed.
