Salad with Sunberries, Chicory, Tomatoes and Cucumbers from the Garden

9/14/2011

Sunberries are small, black berries that are a bit like a tomato. This annual plant is in that same family and needs to be started early indoors. We had such a slow start to the season that I mostly have green berries, but I harvested a handful of black berries for a salad. In a better year, I think this could be a very prolific plant. Read more information about this very cool plant at "Vegetables of Interest". The Chicory is from a few plants I started from seed in early spring. It is a perennial plant that produces very bitter leaves, but the slugs sure loved the leaf ribs. I'll write another post about my experiments producing more edible leaves later on.

The Sheet Mulched Bed in August 2011

This is the same bed we created last October! Tomatoes doing really well, lots of greens, lemon tagetes (edible marigold), sunberry, two honeyberry bushes, some green onions. Hard to believe this was lawn a year ago!
