I picked some early purple sprouting broccoli yesterday. Our of shear laziness, I decided to eat it raw. The flowers are not quite ready to open, but they're close so I was expecting a biting mustard undertone as I bit into the stalk. I was surprised how sweet they are. My son was even enjoying it!




My opinion of growing broccoli has certainly changed. It's all about the proper timing. </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FromGardenToKitchen/~3/uF9GkBypDuk/broccoli-early-purple-sprouting.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bridget Lamp)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gPbHl1BQHS0/UXiosO83i4I/AAAAAAAABNg/95MdX_zG6nM/s72-c/purple+broccoli+(3).JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><description>&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Once the White House announced all tours were cancelled effective March 9, 2013 due to the sequester, I knew my chances of seeing the kitchen garden were slim to none. We were going to DC for my son's spring break and birthday celebration. Michelle Obama's kitchen garden was the top destination request of our visit.

II had a chance to get some gardening done during a sunbreak today. My top priority was to remove the flowering stalks from my rhubarb. 

But in the time I changed into my gardening clothes, the weather turned again. Regardless, I made a mad dash out into the garden to remove the stalks and ducked back inside.**

In my rush back towards the house, I noticed a few things from my fall planting. </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FromGardenToKitchen/~3/rBaqzRsjbso/fall-rewards.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bridget Lamp)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8gsGdm6j_Tk/UWTtc1LdFyI/AAAAAAAABME/LMqYYYqMyv8/s72-c/fava.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><description>&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

I have no trouble removing a plant from my garden when I grow tired of it and want to replace it with something more exciting. Part of my job was to dispose of extra plants when space was scarce or when we geared up for the next season. I also learned my most coveted plants either died or became infested with pests, resulting in me developing a sense of detachment early with my gardening world.

We've been lucky with a mild winter in Seattle. Even so, I could tell a few weeks ago that spring was just around the corner. I can't describe it, but it's something about the way the air smells in the morning...and I'm up pretty darn early. And it had nothing to do with my daphne blooming.

About a week after that, I noticed my rhubarb was breaking dormancy. The crown turns bright red which </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FromGardenToKitchen/~3/wKKZnI4rzCM/signs-of-spring.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bridget Lamp)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mDbgexAQClg/UUJwnJJQBJI/AAAAAAAABLA/L3iRpFfToWg/s72-c/rhubarb+2013.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><description>&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

I love seeing a frosty blanket in my garden on a winter morning.




 If I remember correctly, this is Red Chidori kale





 Frosty Apollo broccoli florets





Nodding viola flowers



That concludes my gardening for today. On to perusing seed catalogs...

It's an annual tradition for me to make green tomato pie from unripe fruit. I usually have a bumper crop of green tomatoes. This year I had just enough for one pie.

Green tomatoes have a tart flavor very close to apples with a slight hint of a ripe tomato undertone. Where tastes and smells can resemble each other, the undertone is a hint of how the tomato leaf smells to me.

This is a look at the tomatoes from my front yard before I disposed of my tomato plants for the season. The weather had been very mild for this time of year with no sign of rain in the near future.

I let my parsnips go to seed this year. The inflorescences reached 10 feet tall and the flowers are like Queen Anne's Lace--both are in the carrot family. It was a lovely site in my early spring garden and soon the seeds started to set.

I didn't think it was possible to grow artichokes in the Pacific Northwest. There's always the threat of summer never arriving. The weather gets warm but just not enough for ripe tomatoes, eggplant, etc, etc. Why would I want to grow artichokes if all I'll get is a spiky bunch of leaves? And a marginally hardy bunch of leaves that may end up dying.

All my worrying over my tomato crop was for nothing. I'm happy to say that I have a decent amount this year even though it's September. Better late than never!

I tried several new types this year including Estonian Yellow Cherry (EYC) and the Columbianum Wild Form (CWF). I found these through Adaptive Seeds.

The EYC have a sunny yellow color and have almost a citrus undertone to their flavor. </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FromGardenToKitchen/~3/9A_gYjr1dl0/more-tomatoes.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Bridget Lamp)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZcBXGtW_yGI/UEQc8tDzIqI/AAAAAAAABDY/Hzz4RBDY0dQ/s72-c/estonian+yellow+cherry+bowl.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><description>&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
