Look, look! Baby radishes:
So, I had my first official (mini) harvest today -- something more than just herbs. I cut some lettuce, chard, and -- of course -- pulled a couple of radishes. They were pretty small, but not quite as small as I thought they might be, and the young chard was really nice and tender. It made a good salad, topped with some dill and chives from the garden.
The year is nearing the halfway point, and I have to say that it's been pretty trying so far. There always seem to be great things happening as well, but they're often overshadowed by health or money concerns. It's life, right?
At least now, even though the hurdles keep cropping up, the weather and the prospect of summer ahead are keeping me going.
I know I keep going on about the porch, but it's where I spend a lot of my time these days. Sometimes it seems like a cat takes my spot every time I get up, but at least Beany will let me share the chair with her. She seems pretty happy with the situation, actually.
It shouldn't surprise me that another of the One Local Summer participants has a similar blogroll. :) I just wanted to drop by and say hello! I'm an hour south of you (Red Wing) and look forward to following along in the 08 challenge. It's my first year of it, my first year with a CSA as well, so I'm pretty excited and a bit wobbly on my feet!
