Garden Lunch

As I was eating my lunch today I realized that all of my side dishes came from our garden. I love when the produce starts coming on and we can eat it. I had strawberries. These are coming to an end but will probably have another smaller crop of them later in the summer. I also had sugar snap peas. These are just coming on and Mary picked a large quantity of them last night. I also had the first kohlrabi of the year. It was still a little warm from the sun outside when I ate it for lunch. When I was outside before, it looked to me like the raspberries are ripening and there may even be a few ready to pick. I will have to check them later. Love the taste of fresh raspberries. 

Today, I had to water for the first time this year. We have had so much rain this spring, it seemed unbelievable that I actually had to water the garden plants but we have not had rain for over a week now. From what the weather man says, it may be a while before more rain is in the forecast. Oh well, I am enjoying seeing some sunshine finally.

Hope you are experiencing harvesting your first garden produce of the season. It is always fun and satisfying to me to eat food that we have grown ourselves. Happy gardening!
