Another harvest

I sent my mother flowers today for Mother's Day, and while she seemed to enjoy them I wish I could have sent her these sweet peas. The shades of purple I'm getting are awesome. Definitely planting this variety again this year. They're beautiful and seem to be somewhat heat resistant while the edible peas are starting to die out. And of course, they smell delightful.

Sweet Peas

I'm cooking for Elliott's dad this evening with a handful of things from the garden. I made some tortellini with sage butter and Swiss chard. I put some snap peas and tomatoes into a salad with some avocado, spinach, and red onion and a dressing made from sesame oil, rice vinegar, mirin, soy sauce, and a little sugar.

Harvest Tally:
11 oz of Swiss Chard
13 oz of Snap Peas
3 oz of Juliet Grape Tomatoes

We had a visitor in the garden a couple days ago. I guess even in LA you can increase your biodiversity by planting a few more plants.
