Yesterday's Pickings From the Garden

In the photo to the right are some of the vegetables I picked from my garden yesterday.

I roasted the beets and had some for dinner, while the extras will be a part of a salad today for lunch.

I used the zucchini to make a chilled zucchini soup, similar to the cucumber soup I made several weeks ago. (I also used my garlic, scallions and parsley in the soup.)

I ate some of the carrots, turnips and radishes raw. I also made a quick sauté of the three, using their greens in the dish as well.

I also cut some mesclun greens and flowers (zinnia and sunflowers).

Not a bad eating day.
