Creamy flesh is perfect for grilling or whole on skewers with tomatoes, peppers, and onions. Ratatouille on a stick! #thecoeurdalenecoop #jewelamethysteggplant #organiceggplant #dwarfeggplant #summerproduce ... See MoreSee Less

It's been less than a week since this bed was full It's been less than a week since this bed was full of garlic. Now, arugula and chard seedlings are emerging, and the carrots and beans should be up any day. In the garage where it's cooler, I've started a few flats of lettuce and radicchio for fall. These have popped up in just 3 days. Summer makes seed starting a breeze!
