Feeding the family

I suppose we shouldn't be too surprised. We are eating a fair bit of food out of the garden. Ezra's favorite are the shelling peas; Jonah prefers the snap peas but has enjoyed his share of fresh peas! I love having fresh, tender salad greens I can pick fresh every morning in my Mother's Day gift: a harvesting basket.

As May comes to a close, here's what we've eaten from our vegetable garden this month:

• radishes, two plantings - enough to put in salads everyday
• pok choy, about 8 heads - enough for about six different meals since early May
• loose leaf lettuce, pounds and pounds - overabundant by the second week in May 
• spinach, many pounds
• snap peas, handfuls at a time
• shelling peas, bowlfuls at a time
• tomatoes - three ripe ones and one big slicer ripening as I type
• basil - made a quart of pesto on May 30(!)
• strawberries, a handful here and there since last week
