First greens from the garden.

The colors look so inviting, of the leaves, in that rinse bowl of your, @Ruth n Jersey
and it's nice to see those fresh-picked garden results!

Those swiss chard leaves could also be lightly( slightly?) steamed, and some people like either margarine or oil or vinegar on them, then.

But it seems very nice, no matter how you have the combo, you pictured to share with us.
:)
 

@Ruth n Jersey your greens look so good ..

I live in Australia so it’s cold here now so not the weather for growing salad greens/ tomatoes / cucumbers ect
During the warmer months I grow lettuce in a pot it’s so nice to go out the back door and pick a few nice fresh chemical free lettuce leaves for a salad ,and they grow back so quickly .
It costs around $3 for one of those soft leaf lettuce in the supermarket and they are usually only big enough for one meal for two so it’s a real saving as well as the freshness growing your own
I also grow lots of spring onions ,when I use one I cut the bottom ( root part ) off and replant it and in no time you have another onion for your salad

The garden is doing well but it is slow growing.
I picked some leaf lettuce this morning and some baby Swiss chard. I wish I could add some cucumbers and tomatoes but it will be awhile, store bought will have to do or I may make a warm bacon vinaigrette and eat them just the way they are.View attachment 108997

I'd wilt them and then eat them the way you stated.

OOOH - Warm bacon vinaigrette sounds perfect! Congratulations on your harvest!
 
The greens look great. Very good colour but I'm no expert. I have 8 small raised beds in quite a small garden but all veg , toms, pots, beans and peas thriving. Had a greenhouse last year but strong winds destroyed it and it be no more:cry:. But yipee for the the raised beds!
I'm also no expert with the camera as I'm sure you've guessed 🤣

Kaila, I did plant peas but only Sugar Snaps. The hubby only likes peas from a can. Can you believe that? He will eat the raw Sugar Snaps though. We should be eating them now but everything is late because of the weather,

Treacle your photos and garden look great. Raised beds are nice, I had one just for onions,carrots, radishes and beets. It was so easy to sit on the edge of the raised bed and weed. We used railroad ties but they rotted and we are to old to replace them nowpeas1.JPGpeas2.JPG.
