sunshel: The six vegetables shown all look and taste quite different, but they were all bred by humans from the same wild ancestor (wild mustard).  Came across this while studying for my astrobiology test. How interesting!

my-little-kumquat: the newest addition to my garden is a 4 x 10 foot raised bed made out of cedar. my awesome husband agreed to build it for me & tear up all the sod which is a total pain. I can’t wait to fill this up with dirt & then fill it with plants. this bed is going to be for my 11 varieties of tomatoes among other things. pretty exciting!

Sweetheart’s Salad

Gorgonzola Pecan Salad is my husband’s favorite. So this is what I’m making to go with our dinner. I picked all the red lettuces I had in the garden, along with red pansies, which are edible flowers.

Wash and spin salad greens.

Make caramelized pecans.

For the Candied Pecans: (These things are so good!) Combine 1 tblsp olive oil, 1 tblsp balsamic vinegar, and 2 heaping tblsp brown sugar in a bowl. Add 1 cup whole or chopped pecan pieces and mix thoroughly with the sugary concoction.  Place on a lined cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 5 - 6 minutes. (They burn easily, so watch them closely) You can do this step ahead of time and keep them in a cool place in the kitchen until dinnertime. 

 Top the salad with eaquel amounts of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, garnish with candied pecans and gorgonzola cheese, salt and pepper

justaddh2o: I took a quick snapshot of my garden while it was still drizzling. Yesterday was the first time it’s rained in months and my plants are thankful for it.

mothernaturenetwork: Todmorden: A town where greenthumbs, not sticky fingers, prevailThe Daily Mail pays a visit to Todmorden, a quaint British town that’s littered with raised vegetable and herb gardens where residents can grow — and take — whatever they fancy. The ethnically and economically diverse mill town of about 15,000 residents is home to Incredible Edible, an ambitious, agrarian-minded scheme that’s brought together an entire community under one common goal: to become completely self-sufficient in food by the year 2018.
