Garden Updates, my latest plantings

I made this crescent shaped raised bed for the Kale this winter. This was where the Corn and beans were planted during summer. The path on the right will be kept a path, the space on the left of it will be planted with potatoes. I also planted much more Napa Cabbage, as a lot of bugs ate the first round, and planted Romaine and Redleaf lettuce too. I'll post pics when they sprout....now, if I can find room to plant the Daikon Radish.... oh yes, I'm waiting for 2 new beds to be made by my hubby!

Harvest Updates

Kabocha pumpkins, bitter melon, white guavas and sunchokes

Baking Bread Gluten Free

I bake a batch of bread almost every week, if not every other week

Bitter Melon keeps giving! Update on the yellow bitter melons, it's not sweet like I've heard, it's still bitter!

Mini Pomegranate...these are in the front yard. Mostly just a decorative plant, the fruit is small and the juice is very tart. But if you need some vitamin C it's edible!

We think these mystery Curcurbits are melons. We give them soy yogurt diluted with water almost everyday and they seems to love it.
