Chioggia Beets

Chioggia Beets!  They look like little targets.  These are the latest delightful goodies from my garden.  I just cooked them, sliced them and served them on a salad - yummy!  Chioggia beets are so much more fun than ordinary red beets, don't you agree?  They are like the fashionistas of the garden....and they look so pretty on a salad. 

Digging for gold….Yukon Golds that is.

My favorite thing to harvest from the garden is potatoes.  I get such a thrill out of sinking my hands down into the soil and feeling around for those nice round tubers. I can't imagine how crazy I look crawling around on my hands and knees up to my elbows in dirt. You'd think I was digging for buried treasures, and I am - Yukon golds and red potatoes!  We also got our first cucumber and a handful of aromatic basil today.  I love summertime!
