Harvest Monday

Another week and no idea how many pounds but that's OK. Thanks again to Daphne for hosting Harvest Monday.
The swiss chard continues with a harvest every three days and this is from the plants that I started in peat pods. I still have another small row that we started in the ground that are beginning to mature and will be ready for picking real soon. Good thing my daughter really likes it. Along with that I have had a number of asian greens that I am harvesting with lettuce.

Mustard and one squash that I stuck in a couscous and chickpea stew for a pot luck. This mustard is one of the best things I discovered. It has a wonderful tang and makes for a great addition to any sandwich in place of lettuce.












But the real surprise is the first zucchini and yellow crookneck squash.
   
I had to pull a couple of onion just to see. I have never grown onions and I guess for me they are a nice surprise. At this size, they would be great on the grill.


And lastly is my kale. This Kale makes great kale chips that are not bitter. My daughter can eat a bowl full on her own. What a great way to get all those good vitamins. Better than potato chips any day.
I'll post the cooked dish later.
