[ garden ] :: weekly harvest - april week 2

I thought that since I take a bajillion photos of what I pick from the garden anyway, it would be fun to share my "harvests" and keep track of how much we actually grow in our little garden.

The weather was amazing this week, so the garden really began to take off. The Swiss Chard needed some trimming and a little TLC so we had some as a side dish one night for dinner. Isn't it gorgeous? I think that one of the reasons I like growing Swiss Chard "Bright Lights" is just to look at it. That, and it's almost impossible to kill.

The arugula began to bolt - it was trying to bloom and was getting tough - so I chopped it back to the ground. It made for an awesome salad with baby spinach, baby kale, and mixed lettuce greens.

Spinach and Arugula: 1.30 oz
Swiss Chard: 4.00 oz
Salad Greens: 0.95 oz

Gardening is a delicious hobby.
