Dr. Bashioum’s Garden: Shishito Peppers
August 8th, 2014
I just picked these Japanese Shishito Peppers to share with Chef Billy at Sushi Fix today. When I’m not doing cosmetic surgery or seeing patients in my Wayzata office, most likely I’m in my garden!
Next up, my heirloom tomatoes are looking almost ripe and the French melons are holding their own this year and should be ready to eat soon.
Dr. Bashioum’s Garden: Radishes
May 30th, 2014
The garden is finally starting to show some signs of life after an especially cold and rainy spring. A small early rhubarb harvest was followed by these French radishes today. It looks like all the plants that I started inside from seeds have finally taken hold in my outside garden beds now. Minnesota gardeners know the mantra, “Hurry up and grow before the frost in a couple of months!” Although the upper Midwest has a short summer, the days are long and we can usually manage to make our efforts worthwhile. I take great pleasure in sharing freshly harvested fruits and vegetables with family and friends.
