The Demo Garden Blog

I’m getting to the point where I think I need to harvest some brussels sprouts, since the aphids have returned with a vengeance in last week’s warm weather.  I did harvest a bunch of purple carrots, spring radishes, and watermelon radishes (not from the Family of 4 garden) for Master Gardener class last week.

I also harvested about 5 oz. of salad greens from the Family of 4 Garden. The cilantro is finally looking like something, and the carrot tops are getting nice and big, even if there still isn’t much for carrots underneath! And, of course, the Swiss Chard is still doing just fine. I may have another Swiss Chard recipe to show off later this week…we’ll see if I’m brave enough. Let’s just say that I’m not yet convinced that Swiss Chard, sweet potatoes, and cheese is a tasty combination!
