This weekend I dug 1/2 of my potatoes and pulled 1/2 of my onions. They both turned out really good. I’ve been enjoying my carrots and cucumbers but the problem is now the lettuce and spinach is burned up. I guess you can’t have it all. Good luck to the rest of you gardeners.
cdavis Nice looking harvest, I would have some fried potatoes with onions.

I picked about a quart of raspberries, both red and black early this morning. I tossed a few handfuls on some oatmeal for breakfast.
GWG8541 I can’t show my wife this picture, she loves raspberries. We go pick them on a farm every fall.

cdavis very nice. Our garden is just starting to pop up since we planted it only a couple weeks ago. Last week it was in the lower 40’s, its 97 today. Very strange

cdavis I quit growing potatoes a long time ago, but seeing yours, makes me want to start again. Those are some nice onions too. Our onions went real well this year, but yours went Weller!

GWG8541 Now that is one tasty looking bounty. Would like to have some of those to mix with the homemade yoghurt or ice cream!

cdavis I agree, that’s a nice harvest.

wdaly thanks. I’ll harvest the other half this weekend.

Just curious. I have an abundance of purslane taking over my garden. Have research the nutritional value of this plant so finally decided to try it. Had anyone else eaten this weed? I tried two ways. 1) sauteed with some garlic and soy sauce, and 2) sauteed with some onion, garlic, tomato sauce and then simmered with rice. Both were pretty good.

wdaly I usually give mine a good dose of 2-4D

Tex_77 I gave up trying to control it anyway but pulling. If you till or hoe it, each plant becomes 100 plants. Figured what the Heck. Might as well try eating it. University of Nebraska Extension did a spot on it and said it’s pretty high in nutrition. It didn’t kill me over night so I guess that’s good.

wdaly I have a lot of that but didnt know what it was. I will have to look in to it.

wdaly Ah NO!!! It’s not that I wouldn’t like. It’s a “I didn’t know” or “that question never surfaced”. It’s not a subject (horticulture) that I’m well versed in. Thanks for letting me achieve my goal of “learning one new thing each day”. My only question is: does it have any particular “taste profile”?

wdaly very interesting! I’ve seen purslane on lists of edible plants for survival and such, but this is the first I’ve seen someone cook it up! That is darn cool of you to try!

zbigjeff It’s funny stuff. The stuff I harvested out of the garden is pretty mild. If you harvest it out of concrete cracks, it has a lot of citrus taste. Must be the heat, but two distinct tastes.
