Lots of things are happening in the gardens; our brussel sprouts are full-size so I'm picking a few every couple of days to have with dinner, along with the radishes that are ready. Both are amazing and delicious.
By next week I should be able to add pole beans to our menu; ours are growing like weeds.
We have a bumper crop of tomatoes, too. I'd like to make these into juice for my guy, and pasta sauce for both of us when they ripen.
The bell peppers are also doing nicely. These will save me $$$ in the weeks ahead; I cook with them all the time but they've gotten insanely expensive at the market.
The cucumbers are ready to start climbing their lattice. These will be nice to have as the summer arrives in June.
In the herb garden the chives have flowered a lot this year. Did you know you can eat chive flowers? They taste a little like onion. Just be careful if you grow them and have pets, as they're said to be toxic to dogs and cats.
We haven't seen any flowers yet on Dad's orange tree, which is still recovering from winter, but Mom's grapefruit tree already has fruit on it.
