Disappointing is how I would describe the state of my vegetable garden; the result of endless rain and what seems like constant cool temperatures. We briefly had the heat on in our house yesterday -- yesterday was June 5th! I have this unwritten rule; no heat on until October 1st and all heat off after April 30th. My family, and most likely some friends, hate me for this. That rule has now been broken numerous times. But back to my garden. Needless to say, it's suffering. What little I do have growing is rhubarb, some French Breakfast radishes, and an endless supply of chives. So chives it is! I was able to use a heaping quarter cup of chives in this Double Corn Muffin recipe.
