On Friday after work I zipped out to my garden, hoping to do a little weeding before the sun went down (and to avoid going out there in this weekend’s oppressive heat and humidity). I ended up spending most of the time harvesting a huge amount of produce that was absolutely ready to be picked/dug/thinned/etc. [...]

First Harvest, Technically: Mint for Mojitos!

Although I did harvest some kale and carrots in early 2010, that was really a product of the 2009 growing season. I’m anticipating that the 2010 harvest will begin a little later this month with radishes and salad greens. But, in the most technical sense, I got my first harvest of 2010 yesterday when I [...]

Sunday Photos: Garden Veggies Meet the Grill

In the last week I harvested a zucchini, a small eggplant, a crookneck squash, and some peppers. All met the same fate: a screaming hot cast iron grill pan. I didn’t want the flavor of these gems to get lost by mixing them with other ingredients or adding lots of spices. Using only oil, salt, [...]
Unearthing Buried Treasure!

On Sunday I went out to my garden to do some weeding, pruning, and general cleanup. I wasn’t really there to harvest anything, but then I saw that a swath of my potato patch had gone all yellow. Was it disease? Or were these potatoes just done with early? This particular area of my potato [...]
