Ode to my Kitchen Garden

I have gone to the farmer's market every Saturday for my produce since December...until this weekend. I have so many beautiful greens that are ready to be harvested that I didn't dare buy more at the market. Tonight I made an amazing stir fry with baby bok choy, Swiss chard, and spinach. It was delicious.


Last night, Jake and I went out to the garden with two big bowls and filled them up with three different varieties of fresh lettuce, spinach, and basil for an amazing salad. I made garlic croutons with the spelt bread I made on Saturday and Jake made a yummy vinaigrette with some left over pomegranate juice that I used in a terrific asparagus recipe this weekend. Had I brought a fork out to the garden, I could have started eating my salad right there.



P.S. Thank you, Jake, for humoring me by taking all those beautiful pictures of my vegetables. They make me so happy!

    Your garden is like a supermarket, except at the supermarket, if you take a photo of the food they don't prepare a meal out of it and give it to you for free.

    You need to come teach me how to garden!! My greens are just barely visible. I did make a big spinach salad tonight, but I bought the plants as seedlings, so it doesn't really count.
