Everything is Now on Schedule

I will start off by letting you know about an arugula pesto we made. Delicious. Just substitute fresh arugula in a basil pesto recipe and serve over fresh pasta of your choice. Terrific! The last of the cauliflower broccoli and cabbage is now coming in. We dug our first yukon gold potatoes of the season and cooked up a batch with fresh homemade butter on top. It seems like the first taters of the year are always the best. Some more firsts this week include the years' first peppers, squash and the corn is starting to come out of the red earth. Exciting times indeed. I also took a photo of a beautiful sweet onion flower in full bloom. Looks good enough to eat. The rains have been steady enough to keep things growing, but we did buy a Gilmour tripod sprinkler just in case we need to apply that mountain well water to the plants. Til next time.

Potato problems and Beautiful Lettuce, Brocolli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, and Tomatoes

The early season veggies are in full swing now. We have beautiful lettuce, huge broccoli heads, and the cabbage and cauliflower will be ready soon. The tomatoes are looking good and growing taller by the day. We are still fighting the Japanese beetles on the potatoes. They can strip a plant of all leaves overnight. Oh well.....we march on. If that is our biggest problem we will be just fine. Things are looking great.
