Harvest Monday No. 1

Again this year I’ve planted wayyy too many vegetables, fruits, herbs, and other edibles in my wee garden.  Those who pop by for a visit get something to take away and many times it’s something they haven’t tried before.  What drives this lunacy? 
 

Biological curiosity? Yep.  

Culinary experimentation?  Check.  

And maybe a little bit of an addiction?    

Ahem, well, “Harvest Monday” seems to be a good time to begin cataloging the craziness so here we go with what I’m harvesting now in my urban yards, container gardens and community garden plots.  The links will lead to more information, whether it be a project I’ve been working on or the seeds that I used (almost always from West Coast Seeds):

Super Sow Sunday: Umbrella Greenhouses

Outdoors I’ve sown lettuce, radishes and peas in wine barrels.  These great clear umbrellas make great pop up greenhouses!
