Every couple of days I am picking peas and strawberries, unless of course I eat them all as I stand in the garden. Last night my dinner was a salad of Quinoa (say keen-wa) which is a whole grain, freshly picked spring onion, and sugar snap peas, sliced into the Quinoa along with tomato, freshly ground salt & pepper and some good quality, tasty olive oil drizzled over the top.
I am not a vegetarian but I do like my fresh veggies straight from the garden.

Cute picture. Sounds like your salad was very tasty. I like snacking on things from the garden too.
That is a very odd looking strawberry!
I read the other day that the soil was lacking in Boron when the berries had cat face, or monkey face. I will have to go out and have a look at my 3 berries in my hanging basket. LOL. Sounds like you have alot more berries than I do.

snacking in the garden is one of my favorite things to do. I think the strawberry is cute.
Funky berries! home-grown berries are always so much tastier than store-bought ones. They are worth the trouble.
The salad sounds scrumptious! Haven't had Quinoa in years! I sort of forgot about that grain. A friend of mine used to tout its' benefits. I will have to try it in a salad like you described.
Funny looking strawberries, but I bet they tasted yummy.
Yummy! I see you use Expert...I tried it once and I liked it, less expensive than Miracle Grow. Have never heard anyone else mention expert before..
This sounds delicious!
The strawberry shape is very sculptural!
You are eating well KeeWee! I hope I get some of this yummy produce from my garden soon. Which ligularia did you purchase? I just bought a new one too. I love them ~ I would think they'd do well in your normally wet climate?
Kathleen, I don't know which one it is. I think the woman said the plant will have bright yellow flowers.
Did you grow your own Quinoa? I bought some seeds, but didn't get them planted. I wonder if it's too late to plant some. I guess I'd get the flowers in September or October.
I love you butterfly shaped strawberry!
