With my job transition followed by tons of rain we were a little behind on the gardening front but we did our best catching up routine this week as well. Our garlic is really taking off and looks great and some of the walking onions have started forming bulbs on their tops:
On to the harvest!!!
We harvest a small mix of herbs & greens this week. The chives started to blossom so we took some home with us to put in our dinner and in some of the cheese we made(more on that later this week). We also got some parsley and a small bunch of arugula, both of which found their way into our dinner!
Here is what we harvested:
.25oz/7.08g Parsley
.80oz/22.68g Chives
2.45 oz/69.46g Arugula
Total for the week: 3.50 oz/92.22 g
Not a huge harvest but I'm really happy now that we are pretty much caught up with getting the garden fully going! Here's to the first of many wonderful harvests & garden updates of the season!

Yum! Your harvests in the coming months sound like they'll be delish!
What do you do with all your Cubanelle peppers?
Allison - The bigger ones are great stuffed. Or they can be cut up and thrown into stir-fry's in place of bell peppers.
Really though, I'm not sure what I will do with all of them as it's my first time growing them, so only time will tell.
Every harvest is a great harvest! There is nothing better then having fresh herbs and greens from the garden!
Awesome looking chives! Hmm, Cubanella peppers.... sounds like one I'd like to try. Let us know how they look and turn out. I'll be keeping notes!

Just the first of what will be many harvests yet to come. I think the first few green things we pull from the early season garden - are savored and enjoyed more than any of the greater abundance that arrives later in the season.
The first time I tried a fall-ripened Cubanelle I was hooked for life. They are sweeter and tangier than many fruits. Better than candy.
Robin- You are totally right, every harvest is a great one.
Dirt Lover- All the chives are volunteer's that overwintered! They really are rockin! I can't wait to watch the cubanelle's to grow!
Kitsap-Though I love nothing more then a fresh garden tomato in the height of summer, you are right, after a long winter it's nice to have something fresh and green going from the garden to my plate.
Hoosier-In these parts as soon as they have the nice lightish green color they hit are markets, and my wok! I am excited to grow them, should be a fun experiment!
Cherokee Purple is my favorite big tomato right now. So I planted a lot of them too.
In our zone chives are perennials. I always have them as my first harvest too!
