Mixed mustard, kale and turnip greens from the garden for braising.

We only get good greens from our garden for a short period of time since it gets hot with a vengeance in late May (the greens tend to bolt and the bugs tend to find them as it warms up) but we do enjoy the season while it lasts! And some farmers at the market extend the season with row covers, succession planting and other nifty tricks, so after our greens bed is given over to the squashes and peppers of summer, we'll still be able to enjoy a few weeks of other growers' greens.

I love greens, but didn't grow them this year. I'll get them from the market, though.

Yum! Speaking of, it's time to pull out my lettuces... and eat them!

We didn't plant Spring greens this year, but the Fall ones we left in the ground as a cover crop for the garden. The blooms were beautiful in March and April before we had to pull them up and turn the garden. Summer veggies are planted now and these Spring rains have just about washed some of them out of the ground. This is going to be my first year with green beans. We put up wire, but my hubby said that they are bush, so the wire may not be needed.

Maybe I'm nuts, but I think this would make a nice wallpaper.

Wonderful! I am living vicariously through your garden this year, and appreciate the updates. Perhaps next year I'll plan ahead and set aside some room for just a few plants ... but this year, we've got to clean out our basement and garage, two projects that preclude gardening. Unfortunately.
