The Harvest Begins- 2009

Last night we had our first meal from our 2009 Garden. Alright, the whole meal was not from the garden, but we did have spinach salad. Here was the bountiful delight that we experienced.
1. Spinach with carrots, celery and relish. The relish was a gift from Beth Mumper (member of the church I serve).
2. Toad in a hole.- if you don't know what this is then well, sorry you are really missing out.
3. Fried Morel Mushrooms!!!! (Jill picked them yesterday)

So Morel Mushroom season has started, as has the garden harvest. I guess Spring really is here. We did finally put the peppers and herbs in the "herb garden". Hopefully this rain will do everything some good. Might have to go out to Longview Lake in between rains to see if any more Morels pop up.

Happy hunting!!!

Garden Continues for 2009- April 24, 2009






28 Tomatoes went in this weekend. We grew them from seed. They were ready to be planted before we wanted them in the ground but, we had to put them in because they outgrew their little planters. We will probably plant another 14 tomatoes. Potatoes are looking great, as are onions and spinach. Here are a few pics of today. What a beautiful day, despite the wind.
