Our small urban veggie garden that will hopefully grow and provide us with many yummy edibles for our family and friends..this is our Farm to Table project.
Here is some of our harvest for today that will now be dinner tonight...pasta with broccolini, salad using our spinach, baby butter lettuce and beet leaves. I am also going to attempt making a pesto style pasta sauce but using parsley as the main ingredient. We have an abundance of parsley right now, will post recipe tomorrow if successful!
After some terrible wind and lots of rain, our pea vines survived and now have some little white flowers. Dante has been measuring himself against the pea vines since they started, he was quite excited when they were getting to be as tall as him - now they are taller then me. Soon we hope to have some yummy crunchy pea pods. As a child I used to pick them straight from my Grandmother's garden and eat them raw from the dirt. Stay tuned for our Spring Peas!
In the late Fall of 2008 we started to grow some winter veggies on the side of our house where we usually plant our tomatoes. It is a work in progress and a delightful learning experience for our son, Dante, now 4 1/2. We like local organic produce and want to make it easier to find some in our backyard.
