this is my june garden. things are looking really good, its easy with all this rain we have been having. although some things like parsnip seem to grow SO slowly. i can barely believe how small they still are after all this time.
my calendula flowers are in bloom and apparently will help keep pests away although something is eating into my kohlrabi. they have been amazing to watch grow, i hope they get big enough to eat, and my celery has been yummy, i just go a pick it off the plant as needed.
these are some veggies i harvested form my garden the other day and used in the veggie lasagna. the radish are very strong, and i actually just found another patch of red radish i thought were beetroot, so if you know of any good uses for radish other than salad i would be happy to hear about them as it appears i have a lot growing.
the other thing i have a lot of is parsley, so the other day i picked a whole bunch of it and made parsley pesto. i also used roasted cashews instead of pine nuts, and it was so good.
i think pesto is one of my favorites, easy to make, satisfying to eat and now growing readily in my back garden almost like a weed.

I miss your garden and all your yummy cooking! and you too!
What a lovely raised bed! I, too, am trying my hand at growing vegies. I have eggplant, pink eyed purple hull peas, tomatoes, and now okra growing. It is a lot of fun!!!
