French radishes... snap peas... our first vegetables harvested from the garden during this really odd year. Normally I would plant flowers which we would enjoy during April, May & June prior to leaving for the heat of the summer... this summer we are staying put here in the Big Apple as the pandemic rages on throughout much of the US... so we decided to plant a Victory Garden instead. It's been a labor of love tending to the shoots as they first peeked their heads above ground... to now when they are ready. We ate the first two snap peas standing there next to the bush... they were sweet and crunchy. We shared each one enjoying its fresh flavor. Tomorrow afternoon we will enjoy the radishes dipped in a bit of pink Himalayan salt with lunch. Our tomato plants are coming along nicely and we have discovered that tiny green caterpillars, inch worms, are munching the leaves of the Brussels sprouts we have planted in the garden... hopefully they will turn into butterflies soon and leave the sprouts to us.
How was your day? What's growing in your garden?
