Harvest Monday

This weeks Harvest Monday (hosted by Daphne at daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com ) will be shown in meals instead of just raw harvest...

We had a staff potluck at work last week and I brought a wonderful (if I do say so myself) spinach salad.  I wish I could say I grew the strawberries and walnuts, too, but I didn't...just the spinach.


This is one of my current favorite breakfast items...scrambled eggs with spinach and toast with butter!


Below is the spinach that still remains in the bed, waiting patiently to be picked and eaten...


This weeks harvest totals:
Spinach - 2 lbs 3 oz

Yep, that's it...only spinach this week.  Our CSA provided a ton and a half of greens and other veggies so I have (once again) left a lot of what could've been harvested in the garden so it doesn't get wilty.  I do, however, need to start freezing some of our spinach to use next winter...maybe next week!

  1. What a beautiful salad! Nice feeling to be able to bring something from your garden to a potluck. One of my favorite breakfasts is a scramble with lots of garden produce!

  3. Those eggs look so good. I should do that for my breakfast. In the summer I do scrambled eggs with all sorts of summer veggies like zucchini, peppers, and tomatoes, but haven't though about doing it with spinach.

  4. Nice looking spinach! I am so impatient, and grew so little, that they hardly have time to get that big. It's starting to bolt now. I just bought a new variety of spinach from PoftheSW which may do better...time will tell.

  5. Thanks everyone! There really is nothing like "shopping" in your own garden for produce ;-)
