Posted on August 21, 2021August 21, 2021A week ago Saturday Very excited to have a Gulf Fritillary in the yard! I hope it found the passionvine in the back yard. Made more salsa verde. The Chef helpfully cans. Ruff day gardening, need a nap. Mail call!! Fall/winter peas, trying new ones. A wildflower and an herb. Trying again on parsnip this year with fresh seeds. Winter indoor gardening ideas.
Posted on August 8, 2021August 8, 2021Leftovers garden taco salad From the garden: Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard (green in the rainbow beds), tomatoes, and salsa verde from yesterday. The Chef also reminds me that the leftover rice had onions and tomatoes in it too and he mixed in the rest of his refried beans with some canned refried beans.
Posted on August 8, 2021August 8, 2021Sprouting and preserving The sterile wheatgrass cover crop is sprouting! You can see the slower germinating buffalograss seed hanging out. I have especially put a lot in the narrow places where the water runs off from the raised beds. The grass with the red zinnias. Both chimayó and jalapeño peppers. Neither super hot. Everything from the garden except for garlic! Yum! Salsa verde complete! Picked green beans for dinner while waiting for salsa to finish simmering down. The Chef takes over for canning, my department is just vegetables, thank goodness.
