Sunday was a Fun Day

This is what I harvested from my garden on Sunday. The arugula is so spicy! I also munched on a couple of young cauliflower greens and they were also spicy! Crazy...

RHUBARB!
If you know me at all, you know how much I love Rhubarb. Last year I had posted on this blog about how sad I was that Rhubarb just wasnt available to eat and cannot grow in my climate.. Im still pretty sure this plant will never grow as well down here in Miami than other areas such as the UK- but Im willing to give it a try.
Last year I stumbled upon frozen rhubarb in my local grocery store and really really enjoyed making pies and whatnot with it. About a couple of weeks ago- BEHOLD! My grocery now carries FRESH rhubarb (but its all wrapped up in seran wrap and nonsense).. very excited about maybe more baking with the fresh stuff. 

Yesterday I stumbled upon the PLANT at my local home depot and of course HAD to purchase it. I really hope it does well- at least a little bit, and I will most definitely post its progress here on this blog.. I feel as though I should name him...

And Lastly:

 

I harvested some Cauliflower yesterday. Cooked it up and ate it with butter, salt, and pepper- AMAZING. So Good.

Garden Update and Adventures from Last Night

 

Hey! I have more then one cauliflower growing! Oh hell yes. Also, the brussel sprouts are getting so big and strong im expecting some sprouts anyday now :)

 

WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?!
Thats right.. Im growing cut and come again lettuce in a Pilon Coffee can (Thanks to Jill and Her Roomie for these great cans!)

As for last night- before we sat down and watched Lost, we decided to grab some grub at a food truck nearby that I have been hearing so much about. Its called the yellow submarine and you can read a great review on it HERE @ burgerbeast.com

 

yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yuuummmm..

 

Lost was awesome last night btw... and these delights just made everything that much BETTER.

 

(I got the Killer Queen!)

  

The people who run the truck are so nice! They gave us free brownies!! :D

I will leave you with Ralphies mug as the lasting impression in your mind of my life last night. Enjoy.

Garden Update

Enough with all of this purchasing.. here are some goods from the garden.

My sea of Oregano. Christ. Its taking over everything.

Parsely

Cauliflower!
How this is actually growing well in Miami weather.. I can no idea. The only thing I can think of is these cold fronts we've had somehow fooled mother nature...

 

And Lastly.. Brussel Sprouts!

 

Hopefully I will actually get to eat some of this...
