This week in the garden or foraging for wild greens

The garden is florishing. A few days of rain some sunshine and there it is. In the back plot the Egyptian walking onions are taking over the two ends. They walk. Actually what happens is that they grow these bulb heads which become heavy and the stalk falls over a foot or so from the plant the bulblets grow roots and a new clump of plants grows. Easy to grow and virtually indestructable. I use them like scallions. They are one of the plants I can pick year-round. The lettuces, arugula radicchio and red russian kale are about 3" I thinned the kale and, with the addition of chickweed and dandeion greens, marjoram, sorrel, mint and sage I had a lovely garden salad for dinner last night. The violets are blooming. I use both the leaves and flowers in salads.
In the front plot I planted some fenugreek seeds that I soaked overnight so I'll have a fresh source of methi for cooking. Just regular organic seeds that I buy at Kimberton. The turnips are up as are the radishes and arugula. Bruce gave me more garlic and I planted it in the large blue pot next to my plot that womeone left in the driveway a few years ago. I like the blueness of it.
