Spring Harvest

I know it isn't very impressive, but I've just pulled the first offerings from my humble, little vegetable garden- 2 radishes! I ate them with some bread & butter. The broccoli rabe went to seed because I didn't pick it early enough, but I like the yellow flowers so it's OK.

I wait too long to pick my vegetables. I always feel like it's a bit too early, and if I just wait just one more day it will be the perfect time. I have actually let a big, beautiful heirloom tomato go to rot on the vine because I just couldn't bring myself to pick it. Hmmm.

Hello from PDX

this is my second attempt at a blog. I'm not sure why I feel compelled to do this; I prefer reading to writing. But on the other hand I do like telling people what I think... Yeah, that's probably it.

Just so you all know, I would prefer a white background for this blog. But black displays use less energy than white, so I made the 'green' choice. Like Kermit said, it's not easy...
