Portions of my vegetable and herb gardens have either been or are currently ripe for the picking! Let me take you on a little stroll through some of our 8 raised beds to show you what I'll be working with in the cucina (kitchen)!
Red leaf and head lettuce . . . great for a fresh salad or sandwich!
Red cabbage is squeezing in (above)
Gorgeous purple-pink colored veins in the foliage of the red cabbage!
The tiny white spots are dew droplets!
Gigantic rhubarb and a little volunteer basil plant popping up underneath!
Beautiful chives!
and lastly, lots of Italian flat-leaf parsley and other herbs for fresh flavor!
Thanks for strolling along with me!
Awesome, awesome, awesome! The different lettuces and red cabbage look nice together.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your beautiful crops! I can smell that parsley all the way down here too Roz :)

ReplyDeleteI only have room for patio plants I wish I had all this room your doing an amazing job keeping them from getting eaten and diseased.. lovely, everything is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just love the look of chives! Such pretty flowers. I had some "volunteer" chives re-emerge in my garden this year. Nice surprise. Your garden is simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh it all looks so great! The lettuce looks like it came from the market- so pretty and full and I can just imagine how good it is on a salad with the perfect summer vinaigrette! Awesome

ReplyDeleteForgot to ask - I've have zero success with rhubarb in the south - what variety are you growing?
