Thinning While Eating

Who says thinning doesn't go with eating?



...At least in the garden it makes sense!



I discovered one fun thing I can do with my overcrowding problem. Above are arugula and green onion sprouts I pulled to give the remaining plants a little more room to grow.

A sandwich a day keeps your garden growing!

Here's what I garnished with my baby arugula and green onion sprouts:

Summer Toast!
(with olive tapenade, tomato and parmesan)

1. The olive tapenade is a cinch to make and can be kept in the fridge for a month. All it takes is pitted black olives and a couple glugs of olive oil in a food processor (blended to a rough paste). Mix in a couple sprigs of fresh thyme for extra flavour.

2. I spread my tapenade on bread and added a slice of giant beefsteak tomato on top.

3. Sprinkle generously with parmesan.

4. Toast it up in the oven or toaster oven.

5. Garnish with garden toppings.

Delicious!
