Eliot's Eats

A life well read and well fed

Everything is fine…

We were really worried about our greenhouse and the garden while we were gone to Iowa.  Luckily, everything was fine when we got back.  A few baskets were dry in the greenhouse, but I think everything will recover nicely. 

The garden did grow a new crop of weeds that needs to be dealt with this week, but first things first.  We got some of the weeds tilled up and watered.  I picked peas, one green pepper, more strawberries and pulled carrots.  But, even more exciting is that we picked two tomatoes from our Wisconsin 55 tomato in the greenhouse.  We had a great salad with our own lettuces, snow peas, carrots, pepper, and tomatoes.  (I also picked one very ugly and deformed Cherokee Purple  from the garden.  I was able to salvage part of it as well.) 

Honestly, this salad was like eating a bowl of candy, maybe because it was fresh, but more likely because we grew it ourselves.
