How exciting, and delicious! Today we had our first harvest from a March 28th planting of greens from the Wisconsin Families Garden demonstration garden in Mequon, WI. Our first spring harvest included thinnings of pea shoots, baby spinach, baby radishes, and dandelion greens.
In the photo, that's a pea shoot. Yes, pea plants are edible!
We cooked a great meal with local ingredients. Below are eggs from Milo's Poultry Farms (Bonduel, WI), sprouted rye bread made by Cybros (Waukesha, WI) dressed with Organic Valley of Farms Pasture Butter, and last but not least, our own delicious garden thinnings of greens.
We look forward to more tasty, garden-fresh produce soon from our urban gardens in Mequon, Grafton, and Milwaukee.
