A few weeks of neglect while traveling let the vegetable garden overgrow and go to seed a bit, but despite the neglect, the rain and the limited sun this summer, our garden’s yield has been pretty good. Just a few photos from the other day.
Ended up making a fresh pico de gallo with the tomatoes and a jalapeno along with a cucumber (store bought organic) and an onion (also store bought). Delish! The only downside: the peas this year are woody. Now what can I do with several gallons of carrots? The swiss chard was easy – the whole bunch sauteed was a perfect side dish for three for a single meal.
All in an Alaska summer’s growing season.
How did your vegetable garden fare this year?

/ September 4, 2010That’s some garden! We still have endless lettuce and kale and spinach. Hopefully another month’s worth. Your carrots look much bigger, though, and carrots? Fuggedaboutit.

/ October 9, 2010Good job, a garden to be proud of, Aliza. I just grew some tomatoes in the greenhouse in Soldotna this summer and nothing in the raised beds outside…wasn’t sure where I would be due to my husband’s work schedule. But I am still eating the tomatoes and enjoying them. Your carrots look particularly good. Have you tried potatoes yet? Cheers!
