Good and Bad

Good!

I'm supposed to wait till they turn orange, but I needed a pepper for dinner today. Peppers seem to be doing pretty well despite a few that wilted and completed died earlier in the season.


Bad!

This is my first attempt at growing onions from seeds. Golf ball size at best. Some pea size.... I think some of my shallots are bigger! I am definitely going to try again next year, now that I know the difference between long-day, medium-day, and short-day maturing onions.

My favorite salad

I absolutely love cobb salad! Especially when some of the ingredients come from my own garden, it makes the salad extra delicious. It's sort of like making soups, in that, you can just throw in anything you have in the fridge/garden. I wish I could say that the lettuce is from my garden, but it has been too hot for them.

For the toppings, we had onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots from the garden, plus bacon, shredded cheese, hard-boiled eggs, and cut up leftover grilled chicken from 2 nights ago. I usually make ranch or blue cheese dressing for this, but I wanted to go a little lighter. So I made a honey mustard dressing. Yummy!
