Well, spring is well underway down here in the Arizona desert and the garden is responding to the increased temperatures. Here are a few more pictures of some of our harvests.
Here is some lettuce from the green house. I had to pick a bunch because its bolting, which means it's wanting to go to seed. Most people say lettuce becomes bitter at this stage, but for us it still tastes quite good.
This is our first 2019 harvest of beets to make beet kvaas, a fermented drink known for its many health benefits.
Below are some carrots that came from thinning the carrot row.
And finally some asparagus. I recognize the asparagus looks waaay tooo long but you would be surprised how tender it is once you remove the pithy part. Rather than cutting it at soil level, I grab it and pull until it separates from the root. The white part of the stem is what is underground.
