FRUITSANDVEGGIESMONDAY hosted by @lenasveganliving : the red in my garden

in #fruitsandveggiesmonday7 years ago (edited)

It's that time of year when our gardens are in full swing. Since we've had a lot of rain lately and quite high temperatures, the plants are growing like crazy!

And among all this lush greenery, we can find pops of colour, fruits and veggies that are already fully ripe...  

My favorite are the red ones, that's why i've decided to share them with you...

STRAWBERRIES: not only are they super healthy, their fragrance and taste are hard to beat.

The perfect example of that is the wild, forrest strawberry. Tiny, compared to the garden one, but a  flavour bomb! 

RADISHES: always remind me of little jewels. Crunchy in texture and mustardy in flavour, radishes are perfect for salads! If you've never tried them roasted, give it a go - they taste very similar to brussel sprouts.

SWISS CHARD- this is a red variety. I just love chard in simple soups and stews. Rich in iron, this versatile veggie can be used the same as spinach. 

If you have a garden, I wish you a bountyful season. If not, do your best to support local farmers and enjoy their wonderful produce on offer. Thanks to @lenasveganliving for her effort and wonderfully inspiring blog!

So beautiful! I bet you really enjoy your garden, nothing like a fresh salad, right? And those strawberries, sounds like a great add to a sandwich too :) !

Haha, a nice French toast:-)Yeah, having fresh fruit end veggies at my finger tips is the best....

You are sooooo fortunate to have nature's great gifts at your fingertips so fresh and beautiful. Love those photos!

Thank you so much Carolyn!

Beautiful photography of your lovely garden and all the goodies. I love them all, although wild strawberries are my favorite. It will be another month before we have them here in Canada 🍒 🍌🍑🌿🍍🍓🍇

Thank you Lena! These wild strawberries were dug up at the forrest and brought to me by a friend last year. ..I just planted them in pots and they survived perfectly...You can also keep them in a warmer place during the winter and enjoy them sooner...
