說起來,夏天第一樣收獲的東西就是草莓。今年由於春天偏冷,我家的草莓收獲季節晚了兩星期。不過收獲的數量與去年相比差不多。
我家的草莓地。Here is my strawberry field.
第二就是豌豆了。今年的收獲很不錯。當然吃不完,剩下的冷凍了。Peas are going very strong. We have harvested few times. We cooked some and froze some. They are tender and delicious.
這是兩道菜用我家的豌豆做的。Here are couple dishes I made at home.
Prosciutto Perciatelli with Asiago cheese (意大利火腿通心粉和Asiago芝士)
Shrimp Scampy with Perciatelli (意大利通心粉蒜烹大蝦)
This is my favorite Spanish Lavender. Daisy is blooming inside the Lavender. I don't mind.........
這是我最喜歡的西班牙Lavender。幾隻Daisy擠在中間。我看還不錯。。。。。。
玉米長得還不錯,不過收獲還早呐. This is my corn field. They are growning strong. But still far from harvesting.
芸豆長得很快,已經爬架子了。今年的洋蔥不知道為什麽開花了。請教了植物園的人,他們說他們的也有這種現象。大概種子不好。失敗了沒關係。明年再來。
Pole beans are clambing and doing well. For some reasons, onion is not doing well. They are blooming now. I have asked professional gardeners about this. They said they had same issues this year. Maybe something wrong with the onion bulbs. Oh well, that's ok. I'll try next year again. No big deal.
下圖左邊是黃瓜,茄子,中間是辣椒,右邊是甜菜和毛豆。今年黃瓜種了三次。頭兩次都凍死了。現在的黃瓜還矮矮的。甜菜已經收獲了不少了。烤甜菜色拉非常好吃。
In below picture, there are some cuccumbers, egg plants on the left, next to them are peppers, Beets and soy beans on the right. I planted cuccumber three times this year. First two times were not susccessfull at all. The third time is charm as what they say. Now they are still kind of short. We have been harvesting beets. Grill beets salad is so delicious!
這是我的Squash地。冬天Squash和夏天Squash。共27棵.
This is my squash land. I have summer squash and winter squash, 27 plants total.
角瓜可以摘了。
這是奶油南瓜。爬得很遠了。。。。。。Here is the butternut squash. It is trying to set fruits.
Squash地旁邊就是土豆,數它長得好。一共種了4壟,大概60多棵。
Next to the squash land, it is my potato field. I have 4 rows and over 60 plants.
我忘記了,Squash地和土豆中間還有一壟矮芸豆和一壟(8棵)西紅柿 (Heirloom)。Oh, I forgot, there are 1 row of heirloom tomatoes (8 plants) and 1 row of bush bean in between my squash land and potato field.
