Garden breakfast

Ah the cool of a summer morning. Watering the garden . . . found lots of swiss chard ready. Breakfast: Rainbow swiss chard braised with olive oil, Murray River salt (pink), white pepper and finished with a few splashes of blueberry vinegar. Served alongside tomato omelette topped with mozzarella.


The Japanese eggplants are just peeking out the bottoms of the blossoms.  The large tomato plants are growing, growing. They are loving these hot summer days.  The small patio tomato plant continues to produce a tomato each day.  They never make into the house somehow!  Basil has gone wild in both corners.  A few more days and then I'll tie up the zucchini & acorn squash to their new lattice.  The raised bed housing the herb garden and lettuces is flourishing.  Radishes have poked up and the arugula is taking off.  Green onions are still a bit thin.  Am thinking to plant a second wave of green onions & arugula.  This bed has been moved this year so it is only in the sun in the a.m.  All the plants seem happy!
