This is almost exactly as in The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook, except we didn't have bell peppers or water chestnuts, so I didn't put them in. They would have been nice for a bit of extra contrast but I enjoyed this as it was.
Angeline made the greens with contents from our CSA box, to go with the salad.
I also made the "Colby Cheez" from the Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook, which is currently chilling in the fridge. I'll post about that when it's done.

May 18th, Biointensive bed
Good week for this bed, except for whatever's eating the seedlings at night...I've lost nearly all of the carrot seedlings :( I've been putting crates over the beans and cucumbers at night and I put out some slug bait (the pennies are also an attempt at slug control) and things are better, but I didn't protect the carrots at all and that was a mistake. I'll re-seed them next week. Still haven't planted the onions. The tomatoes are mostly doing well, canteloupe is holding up, corn is growing like crazy, and the potatoes finally came up. No summer squash yet, though...
May 18th, raised beds
It's been HOT this week, up to 100 degrees a couple of days (!) Tomatoes are doing well in the heat and everything else is hanging in there. The lettuce is coming along but the spinach is really slow. The winter squash is taking over its bed, the zucchini is just starting to get moving, and the bell peppers have hardly done anything since I transplanted them: I may need to replace them with nursery plants. The herbs are all doing well.

You can't really see anything here, but the beans, cucumbers, canteloupe, and corn are coming up, along with the basil and marigolds here and there. Tomatoes are doing well but not amazing, I put some fertilizer spikes near each one and hopefully that will help: I also picked off a few bugs from the undersides of the leaves.
