Each night now Lesley goes out to the garden for dinner vegetables. Here, at the start of a salad, are sliced Purple Haze carrots (something you'll never get from agribiz farmers).
Growing here now: asparagus, artichokes, lettuce, fava beans, kale, peas, zucchini, green onions, carrots, golden beets, parsley, basil, scarlet runner beans, torpedo onions, chartreuse cauliflower, potatoes, strawberries, raspberries (prolific).
Coming along: tomatoes and lemon cucumbers.
Fruit coming along: plums, apples.
Every bit of our food waste for almost 40 years has been composted and is now in the garden soil. When I go to the city, I have a hard time puttingt food scraps into the garbage.

what time is supper?
I've never seen carrots like that. Amazing. My floating garden is producing well and my plants in pots keep me hopping in the hot weather. - Margy
Cool carrots! Do they have a different flavor?? Here in MI, I picked the first zucchini 2 days ago. My Kennebec potatoes are just starting to turn yellow, and everything else is doing great. We have a boatload of blackberry brambles, so just finished the first set of blackberry-grape jelly this morning. I love summer!
