Diary of an Urban Gardener

BACKYARD GARDEN
Installment: 3
June, 2010
Green Beans
|
Strawberries
|
During
the month of June, some additional goodies were produced from the
garden. The cabbages are doing better now that I sprinkled them with
some worm removal dust. The new corn and watermelons that I planted
from seeds are looking healthy. The Italian squash and green beans are
plentiful so either I will share with others or I get to eat squash and
green beans every day. The carrots and the onions didn't produce very
well so I will have to try another spot in the garden the
next time.
It's
time to harvest more potatoes, the tops have turned brown, that means
the growth period is complete. I'm still trying to get my sweet
potatoes to produce some spuds (growths on the potato that look like
small dots that are cut off and placed into the ground to start new
plants).
"Salsa" made easy:
Tomatoes - onion - jalapeno peppers - garlic - lime juice
Cut
up all of the ingredients and mix together in a blender. You have just
made fresh salsa from the garden. Salsa can be made as you need it,
but try to make it at least a few hours before service. This additional
time will allow the flavors of the different vegetables the time to
blend.
