I stumbled upon a very useful website today while looking up nutrition facts on a cucumber that I was munching on. The site, Nutrition and You .com, lets you look up almost every fruit and vegetable that you might be growing in your garden and gives you a rundown on the origin of the plant, its health benefits, a nutrition fact label, and cooking suggestions. Did you know that raw cucumber has an established role in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease patients by limiting neuronal damage in their brain because of its high vitamin K content?
Also, the summer squash (around the sunflower ring) and lettuce (in the tomato box) are coming in like wildfire and and needs to be harvested almost daily... so wander on up and pick you some!
