It is getting warm and starting to feel like summer here in charm city. The early girl bush tomato is starting to flower and there are a few teeny tiny tomatoes. The sugar snap peas are also doing really well with healthy bushy leaves and greenish-white flowers. It looks like I will be harvesting some peas very soon! Can't wait!

For the first harvest of 2012, I got some pak choy and baby kale. I also harvested some snap pea leaves - some shoots, but mostly leaves.

| Harvest #1 2012!! |
I made a quick stir fry with garlic and oyster sauce. Everything was delicious, but I think I liked the flavor of the snap pea leaves the best. I will try to grow more snap peas this fall, since it will take A LOT of snap pea leaves to create one dish.

Daphne's harvest monday and
Wendy's GTTC. Thank you both for setting up a place for us to share our garden accomplishments!!
what a great start to the season! I tasted pea shoots for the first time this year too.
ReplyDeleteSo delicious, right? But you just have to grow so much of it....
DeleteI have not eaten pea shoots yet. We just started to grow them this month. You make me want to sow more of them!
ReplyDeleteIt is really delicious. I think it may be one of my favorites now.
DeleteI love peas. Soon after you see the flowers you can eat the peas. But with tomatoes it takes a month. Peas don't tease you like tomatoes do.
ReplyDeleteDefinite quick gratification. I was eyeing some maturing pods today as well.
DeleteI love pea shoots. I was also thinking about growing tons just to have the greens.
