Garden Update

Garden

So it's been three weeks since we built our garden beds and planted our vegetables and herbs, and I thought I'd give you a little update.

So this was our garden three weeks ago when we first planted it.

And this is our garden today.

I think the standout is the basil. The cauliflower and broccoli are doing okay. We think they went through some shock when we first trans-planted them, but they are doing better now. The cabbage and the cilantro, however, aren't doing too well. I mean look at that little cabbage in the back right hand corner. He's looking a bit sad.

Here is the other bed on the day we planted it.

And here it is today.

The Swiss chard has really taken off. I think some of the leaves will be ready to harvest later this week. The bunch onions/ chives are doing great as well. We've used them while cooking twice during the past week. If you look really hard, you can also see quite a few little beets coming up and two little pea plants in the back.

Here is a close up of the chives. Yum.

Cooking

So, I think I've mentioned this more than a few times on here, but Jason (being the amazing husband that he is) has been cooking most of the meals lately.

Here's some homemade guacamole and chips.

Here are some stuffed peppers.

Homemade potato soup.
Another view of the potato soup. See the chives? Those are from the garden.

And of course, wherever there's food, there's Radar.
