Does My Garden Still Grow?
Why, yes it does. Thank you for asking. We find that we are working hard to grow earthworms more than anything! What do you think of this beauty?
When I put my broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts into the garden, I immediately put covers of them to keep the pests off. I chose tulle, but with the hot weather, I may need to change to something white. Hate to have them bolt before they even begin to grow!
No, I am not growing milk jugs. I "planted" them to fill and water the roots of the plants. It seems to be working. The plants are doing well, even in the heat.
My mesclun lettuces are growing like crazy! We cooked out last night. Instead of making a salad, we all walked over to the garden and I snipped a salad for them! I LOVE it!
Remember my baby kale? Well they are growing. I keep snipping the largest of the leaves and throwing them into salad with my mesclun. They are wonderfully tender and very sweet. Baby kale is the best!
My radishes are coming faster than I can pick them. My children did not like radishes until they could eat them fresh. Another good tip: pull them young and keep them watered. This keeps them from turning hot.
I will get some photos of my garden soon. There have been lots of changes since the last shots.
Also, I made a sponge cake recipe which came from my Grandmother. I converted it to fresh ground Kamut flour. I will post that soon! It was the best sponge cake I have ever made!!
