June Garden Progress

We have the New England weather to thank for the success in the garden so far this summer. Don't want to speak too soon, but the abundance of sunshine along with just above average rain fall, and we really haven't had to do much to keep it going. We weed about once a week and water on days without rain.

We've harvested arugula, radishes, and scallions so far. We have summer squash and zucchini growing well, and the tomatoes are just staring to turn red. I found some great tomato pruning tips here:

Meg's already thinking about what to plant for fall crops, but lets eat the fruits of our labor first. We added our first ripe radish to this grilled Caesar salad. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/grilled-chicken-ceasar-salad-recipe/index.html


Doesn't that just make you want to come over for dinner? Photo by Meg.

    1. I just got a potted rosemary - it smells amazing, even if you don't use rosemary in cooking I recommend a small potted one for your kitchen!
