Welcome to my Blog

Hi, my name is Suanne and I am writing this blog to share some of the tips and recipes I have learned or created with our backyard garden. The garden itself is actually my husband John's but we have had a garden for over 25 years so I have picked up some garden knowledge along the way. We live in Austin, Texas so we are blessed with a year long growing season. We always have something to eat from the garden and this pretty much dictates what we eat. All of our meals are planned around what happens to be growing at the time. One of the biggest challenges is what I like to call crop maintenance. What to do with all of the vegetables? Beyond sharing with the neighbors and friends I am always trying creative approaches to preparing the bounty. So the blog seemed like a good way to both keep track of and share my recipes.

Kohlrabi


Well here is a little known vegetable. John started growing these a while back nd we have come to look forward to them. They are in the cabbage family so it is a winter crop here in Texas. You can eat them raw and cooked. We mostly eat them raw either by themselves as a snack or in a salad. You can also add to soups or stirfry. They taste like a cross between celery and brocolli.






To Prepare - cut off the leaves as shown and then peel and slice. They are crunchy and yummy raw.
