3 Sunbeams May 2018 Page 3 GARDEN GATE Greetings from the gardens! Spring has been very fruitful for us so far this spring. Lots of squash and cucumbers have found their way to the kitchen and we still have beaucoup lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower. Tomatoes should be ready in a week or so with bell peppers following right behind. All of our cut flower areas are bursting with blooms. You will see plenty of pincushions, roses, Alstroemeria and sunflowers in beautiful floral arrangements created by our residents in all the homes. It s time to replace cool season annual flowers in your gardens with your spring favorites. We have been switching out our flower beds of pansies and petunias with vincas, lantana and zinnias. Hopefully you have been able to stay on top of the weeds erupting everywhere in your gardens due to the rains earlier this year. It s time to kick up your irrigation schedules since plants are getting bigger, fruit load starting to build up and the days getting warmer. Our free monthly garden lectures have been a big hit with the public so far this year. On Saturday, May 19 th at 10:30 am, our speaker Gisele Schoniger, Organic Gardening Educator for Kellogg Garden Products will be here to talk on how to Restore, Recharge and Regenerate Your Garden Oasis with BioChar. Kellogg has been a huge donator to our local school gardens and food-bank gardens. Gisele is extremely passionate and knowledgeable when it comes to improving the life in your soil. Hope you find happiness in your gardens!

Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until just browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook until the kale is bright green, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and continue to cook until the kale is wilted and most of the broth is absorbed, about 5 minutes more. Add the squash, zucchini and 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss to combine with the kale. Continue cooking until the squash begins to soften, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the mayonnaise. Toss the cooked vegetables, brown rice, cheeses, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs and the egg in a large bowl until mixed. Spray a 9-inch square or 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Spread the mixture in the bottom of the casserole and top with the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bake until the squash and zucchini are tender and the top is browned and crisp, about 35 minutes. Serve hot.
