Garden Harvest

Here in Texas we can garden pretty much year round. Among my winter crop is green onions, lettuce, kale, and cauliflower.

The green onions were ready, so I harvested ALL of them. I think I planted way more than my family will ever eat. You could say I now have a "year supply" of green onions!

So... I cleaned them up...

Chopped them up...

And put them in the freezer.

I'll never buy green onions again!

I also cut some kale and lettuce to have for dinner.

There is something immensely satisfying about growing and eating your own produce.

This post would not be complete without pictures of my very cute, golf ball sized cauliflower. I think I may have a year supply of these too. I'd say there are about 20 + plants.

Aren't they adorable?

And finally some signs of spring...

I love roses.

Absent Minded Reason #3

I've recently learned not to garden while wearing flip flops.

I was fixing the broccoli I planted. It was way to close together and I FINALLY got around to doing something about it.

Things were going pretty well when one of the bricks came loose.

This is what happens when a 25 pound landscaping brick falls on your foot. Ouch!

It looked way worse a few weeks ago when it happened. That alone should says loads about how it looked a few weeks ago! I can barely wear shoes some days it still hurts a lot!

So here is my very nicely spaced broccoli (I think it's broccoli, nothing got marked!). It actually survived my replanting. I hope the broccoli starts to grow soon!

After telling my husband what happened and showing him my foot, he very politely says,

"Now what did you learn from this experience?"

{sigh}

Yes dear... do not wear flip flops while gardening.

Some radishes I harvested. They are so pretty!
