A summer's day Harvest

9/7/2017

It has been a good year so far for the veggie garden. The lettuce has been stellar. My harvest basket includes French Breakfast radishes, leaf lettuce, head lettuce, broccoli, purple broccoli, Swiss chard, 'Lacinato' Italian Heirloom Kale, Garden Frills kale, basil, thyme, fennel, strawberries, nasturtiums & roses (as they are both tasty on a salad).
