before and after: early harvest :)

our first batch of rucula: succulent, fresh and just the right amount of kick

ruccula with leftover homemade pesto pasta with sun-dried tomatoes (nope, didn't grow nor dry these tomatoes, but will try when the tomatoes come in this year!)

zucchini flowers on the plant

same zucchini flowers stuffed with anchovies and goat cheese....mmmm
