catching up

We have been absent from the the blog for a couple of weeks, but things don't stop in the garden.  Here are some pictures from past two weeks...

weekend harvest

We had a small harvest for weekend lunch again.  Right now, we mostly just pick them as we need them.

We harvested some pea shoots, a carrot, and a bunch of green onions.  Last late fall we planted all different kinds of carrots, but we didn't label them.  I believe this one is a cosmic purple.  It has a beautiful red/purplish skin, but I was disappointed to see that it was orange inside (well, I should know.  It was in the description when I bought it).  I like the red carrots in "carnival blend" better.  The skin and the flesh are both a beautiful red.  It's a nice contrast when cooked with orange carrots.  Both the cosmic purple and carnival blend are from Botanical Interests.

We only have a few of the fall carrots left, and the germination rate of the carrot seeds we sowed in mid-March was REALLY low (only 2 sprouts. Really sad).  We need to re-sow more seeds.

Of course, there were more peas.  I have a hard time keeping up with the peas.
