Here’s what I harvested from the kitchen garden on the first day of summer: Snow Crown cauliflower, Purplette onions, Kestrel and Touchstone Beets and Oasis turnips.  The rounded cauliflower surrounded by the red, yellow, white and purple globes looked like a vegetable solar system.  I couldn’t resist asking for a photo before cooking them all.  Then we celebrated the Solstice with a feast of roasted vegetables.  Happy summer!

And for anyone curious about when I planted each of these vegetables: I started the cauliflower indoors February 20^th and set it out March 25^th; onions indoors March 1^st and set out April 18^th; beets directed seeded April 22^nd and turnips direct seeded May 22^nd.
