Hot peppers have capsaicin which has many medicinal purposes and parsley with it's high vitamin content are great additions to juices.
Design ideas for a small mid-century modern full sun side yard vegetable garden landscape in San Diego for summer.

My first week tending this garden I planted swiss chard and a new crop of kale.

This Sweet 100 Tomato is so prolific I am having a hard time containing its enthusiasm with numerous support systems. Cherry tomatoes are packed with flavor and have more sugar content than larger size tomatoes. It is impossible not to pick one and eat it while I am working. :-)

Malabar Spinach is native to India and Africa and needs warm soils to do well. Its red stems and black berries are a beautiful addition to any vegetable garden. Harvest the young leaves and eat raw like spinach or sauté the larger leaves in EVOO and garlic. It can grow to 30 feet up a trellis.

Plant a heat tolerant lettuce in the summer to keep you picking fresh salads every day. Pictured here is Magenta from Johnny's seeds. It is not only beautiful to look at but tasty too.

I have planted some hot peppers and basil alongside some cilantro. The cilantro will not last long in our summer heat but we hope to gather as much as possible before it bolts

Bright Lights chard is a winner in every way. Colorful, nutritious, and keeps on giving the whole year long in our Southern California climate. It is one of the most antioxidant rich foods we can eat.

Two weeks later these delicious greens have filled out and are ready to be harvested. I recommend removing just a few of the outer leaves as needed which keeps the plant producing for a long time.

Kale, which is part of the brassica family is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. And harvesting it fresh from your garden right before you put it in your blender or sauté pan is the best way to take advantage of all the vitamin A, C and K plus trace minerals like copper, potassium, iron and more.

I planted Marvel of Four Season lettuce seeds, which are heat tolerant, directly next to the soaker hose so they stay constantly moist. Seeds must never be allowed to dry out. I will divide these seedlings in the next few weeks

The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel
