An Urban Garden

Here's a link to Dr. Soozee's urban garden - check it out! Everything's growing so fast, you can almost hear it. I've seen stuff in her garden double in size in one 24 hour period - how's that for growing.

Some pretty tasty stuff is coming out of that garden. I know - I'm tasting it! Sorrel, spinach, lambs quarters, a local variety of amaranth (aka "pig weed"), pea greens, onions, chives, mesclun (lettuce mix), mustard greens, radish greens, kale and cabbage greens, rhubarb, asparagus, chive blossoms, garlic tops.

Yes, pig weed and lambs quarters are quite edible. I know, I know, you've thought all along they are just weeds. As young leaves, they are great tossed into a green salad. As the leaves mature, try them sauteed or braised. Here's a recipe or two (and some new blogs and websites to check out).
