the garden is growing!

I have been spending a lot of time in the garden.  Between getting beds ready, weeding, thinning, planting, the time just flies by.  I am surprised how many of the seeds have come up.  Every day I turn around and the plants just seem to get bigger!

When we thin the garden, we have been adding the greens to our meals.  My Beloved usually starts the day with a green smoothie.  He has been adding a handful of garden greens to it.

This weekend, I scrambled eggs with the thinned greens and green chili haberno salmon jerky.  Tasty!

It is just nice to know I can go to the garden and fill the salad bowl.  We finished the last of the store bought lettuce today.  It will be a while before we need to buy more.  I am hoping the broccoli will start to catch up.  I cheated and got some plants from the farmer's market.  I am trying not to be too overwhelmed with all the harvest at once, like the pumpkins!
