gemelli with haricot verts, snow peas & cipollinis... That was my dinner tonight celebrating the first harvest of beans. The Haricot Verts are the first to flourish, as always. The Indy yellow wax beans and Kentucky Wonder don't look too far behind, the Beer Friend soy beans and the other shell beans still have a ways to go. But nonetheless, I set the table with a simple vase of white cosmos and yarrow, and joined my husband for a delightful dinner.
The rain this summer has delayed the growth of many of my herbs, but the past few days of heat and humidity seems to have provided them with what they've been missing. Parsley, basil, coriander, and fennel are in full frolic.
Of course I still have plenty of prose regarding my peas. The Dwarf Gray Snow Peas have been as prolific a provider as ever. Every day it yields a meal size harvest and the more you pick, the more it seems to grow. This was a favorite from last year's crops as well. I only had a handful of Cascade shell peas to donate, but those have been pearls of goodness this year as well.
