Kitchen garden tales...


It's all worth it when you can go out and pick your dinner...so let's not let this bounty go to waste...we need cooks and pickers for--radishes, lettuce, parsley, cilantro, beet greens...all in the raised beds by the gate and in the center of the garden...come on out!

Delicate climber makes rare appearance...



These won't last, so come on out and pick a few just to munch in the garden...or a handful like we had in a stir-fry last week. Blanch first and toss'm in...or fabulous in a salad. They're in at the trellis area in the corner of the garden...spring is here!

All 'choked up...


It's a spring coast garden, artichokes, the bounty of our bay are here...get'm while they're still young. Don't be squemish about a few ants--soak first, with a couple of rinses to get clean'm up before cooking.
