Important: I discovered something new to do with radishes! You can only eat them so many different ways raw: by themselves, in lettuce salads, in pasta salads. I looked online and found that you can boil them and you can steam them. So last night, I steamed some round radishes for about 5-6 minutes and then salted them. They lost most of their color and they were no longer spicy hot. They were still a little crunchy and had a flavor that reminded us of broccoli. We liked them, even all the kids!

Early Garden Harvest

Wow! We spotted some strawberries growing, but haven't actually gotten anything from the garden yet. We really want to plant some asparagus, but haven't quite figured out where to put it. Since it takes about three years before it starts producing and you can't move it, we want to make sure we choose wisely.
Maybe next year we can try some of those radishes.
When we moved in, Dan made a slop pile out of an old raised bed by our burn barrel that was overgrown with weeds, only to find out the following spring that there was asparagus there. Oops! So he later cleaned it out and moved the pile elsewhere, so this year we are harvesting the asparagus. And I can say we, because I've cut some of it, too!
