Happy Kitchen Garden Day!


Celebrate Kitchen Garden Day today! Take a garden tour, eat at a restaurant that utilizes local produce, or simply enjoy the bounty of your own kitchen garden.

I have already enjoyed ripe volunteer cherry tomatoes as part of my lunch. Tonight for dinner I will saute some of the lovely 'Rhubarb' chard you see here in olive oil and chopped garlic, and serve it over whole wheat pasta along with grated asiago cheese.

I have begun enjoying a cup of herbal tea before bedtime each night, and will either be making a mug of black peppermint, mixed sage, or sage and lemon thyme tea later as well. Tea from your own garden is such a simple pleasure, but immensely satisfying. I have a mental note to add more teaworthy herbs to my garden next year.
