So much to eat!

You'll notice a gap in posts.  To be honest, it's because the pictures began to be redundant.  Every week has been pretty much the same.  Pick something, cook it, eat it and then pick again.

Happy to report - there has been a lot to eat!

Here are some pictures.









Brocolli has beautiful yellow blossoms if they open.  The trick was to cut the stocks before this happened.  And it was tough to keep up.  Allow me to explain.















 If you look closely at this picture you can see I cut a stock of brocolli in the middle about a week before.  Every time I would cut a stock 3-4 new stocks would sprout out qickly from around the cut.  I had so much brocolli from 3 plants!
















The brocolli was delicisous with juicy yet crispy stocks.  Eating right out of the garden had a different flavor.  I was delighted! 
















The carrots and beets just kept coming and coming!


















And the brussels sprouts are starting to take form on their stocks.











The blueberries continue to grow nicely.  They are still green in color but once the blue shows Ill post a picture. 

A critical project at work pulled my focus from planting new vegetables in February and March.  The chicken is also on hold for the moment until the time is right to ensure they have the care they need. 

In the meantime, I continue to eat beets and eagerly await the brussells sprouts.  Ill give you an update on the elephant garlic in my next post as well.

 A small spice and herb garden has been planted along with two dwarf fruit trees and will be featured in a coming post.

Up next: Collard Greens, Kale, Tomatoes, & Zuchini!
