Edible garden update part 2

Clunk !!. Ugh, As I write this Jacques is at it again this time with Ruby screaming at him. Even she has put aside her strong predator instincts to call him stupid. Man, that bird. I am surprised he has evaded natural selection for this long.

On to the vegetables.
The green beans have been producing for a little over a week. We pick them and Lynn steams them for two minutes, removes them from the heat and places them into an ice bath. From there they are toweled off(sounds like a spa treatment) and vacuum sealed(using the Foodsaver) where they are stored in the freezer for use throughout the fall and winter.

Um excuse me, get a room! I gotta eat those beans. Sheesh.

Next up are the onions:


Yellow

Red

Shallot

Summer squash. We planted a mix this year so every plant is a surprise. So far we have seen zucchini, yellow, and round zucchini which is ball-shaped.

We use cucumbers for pickling as well as the regular size cukes for salads and such.

We planted three types of beets. So far we have picked a regular red beet and a striped one.

Lynn made this delicious salad over the weekend Beet salad 

 Well that is all there is to update for now. Until next time...
