I thought a garden chat and photo thread would be a good idea.
This way, we have a space to share current pictures and discuss dandelions and other plants.

Great yield!! Gotta say. Our last cucumbers look just like that too. The well-grown ones I pickled as pickling cucumbers.

What are you having for dinner today?? 😀

Everything from the garden… beans, carrots, tomatoes, onions, garlic. A few small slices of bacon are added to the pan at the end.

Vegetable stir-fry with green beans, bell peppers, and carrots in sauce

What do you use for the cooking liquid? I always find it difficult to get the right balance between liquid and vegetables. Often it’s too watery, or too “dry” so nothing sticks to the rice, for example.

Just water… Always enough so that the vegetables still “stick out,” but you can still see the water. Sauté onions and garlic in plenty of butter first, then add everything else. Cover with a lid.
