Vegetable noodles are always a hit.

Dream come true

It's the name of this rose.

Pea tendrils stir fry

I didn't wait longer to use them. I tried quick stir fry with olive oil, garlic, pea tendrils, sea salt and chilli flakes for some heat. It tasted great.

Green basket - CSA basket - jun 12

We were eagerly waiting for CSA pickups to start this year. I know we can go buy all these in a grocery store or a farm. I enjoy the surprise element of what will be in basket this week and the fact that they are picked fresh that morning. I was happy to see basket full of greens this week. Now I need to be on my toes to finish up all the veggies while they are fresh and before we get our next basket :). I never tasted rhubarb, so can't wait to make something with it. We got the following this week
Baby spinach, kale, radishes, pea tendrils, chard, kohlrabi, rhubarb, squash and romaine. I need to find what I can do with pea tendrils, never heard of them.

Roses Roses Roses

Aren't they looking pretty? We got one climbing variety and another Grandiflora. I love roses, but we don't have a great sunny spot for them. This spot gets sunlight in the mornings, we are taking a chance and have our fingers crossed. I have 3 plants as shown below in the last picture, every year they get attacked by winter moth caterpillars early in the season :(

Vegetable bed

This year I haven't started any seeds indoors, today I got cucumbers and peppers for planting. I wanted couple of grape or cherry tomatoes, but to my surprise, Garden center was out of them.

Pooris @ Dinner tonight

New Addition

We planted 2 raspberry bushes, if things go well, we may get few next year. I meant to do this longtime ago and got to it this year. We all love berries like anything.

Growing Strawberries

Here is how they look. I have everything in containers...

First strawberry

This is something exciting, we got our first strawberry. It turned out sour :(, I hope the new ones growing may get some sweetness.

Happy Mothers Day!!!

Fancy pot

Getting the Strawberry pot ready was on my list for so long. Finally I am on track with timing and got it ready with the help of my little helpers. Now it's time to wait and watch.
