Foodie Love

The one and only thing I love about our new place is the patio and what we've been able to do with it! This is our second year of container gardening! Most prolific would be the lettuce and the tatsoi, followed by the tomatoes and, this year, strawberries!

Tatsoi is an Asian green that is a cross between baby spinach and bok Choy. It grows like a weed, which makes it great for first time food growers. I gotta say, it is a thrill to eat food that you have grown from seed.

Looking for recipes to use my tatsoi in has lead me to many great sites and fellow "urban farmers". We are far from embracing that title, but we are on our way!
