In Giardino


I just harvested from the garden.  My favorite part of gardening, to be sure.  Some lovely leaf lettuce, some basil, and nasturtium.  Nasturtium in salads is just wonderful.   it has a peppery taste and every part of the plant is edible, leaves, flowers and buds.  Some folks pickle the buds and use them like capers.

As a lot of things are ripening, we are eating a lot of salads with our meals.  


Seems that we aren't the only ones enjoying our garden.  Methinks some birdies have been helping themselves to my tomatoes.  Sneaky birdies.

Until next time,
Ciao!
