This years garden is coming into the home stretch as you can feel fall in the air here.
Some notes;
Potato - wonderful. Still pulling a few out and making fried potatoes on the weekends.
Strawberry - I've never been a strawberry fan but there is nothing like picking, rinsing and popping a fresh strawberry in your mouth. Wish we had more!
Zucchini - Cori made zucchini bread this weekend. It's amazing!
Basil - After a slow start, the basil is going wild. Last weekend we got fresh dough (thanks to our friends at Vick's!) and made pizza on the grill. Basil, mozzarella and tomato sauce. That's it!
Sooo good.
Lettuce - The Romaine is the way to go. Some of the other types grow wild and are pretty spicy.
Spinach - After a slow start it's coming in now. Adding to tonight's salad.
Peas - What grew was good fresh off the vine. Not enough though.
Pepper - The first red pepper is going into the salad with dinner tonight.
Herbs - Need to find a way to use all the herbs. The oregano grows like crazy and we can't eat it that fast.
Garlic and Shallots - So much, we need to find a way to store it for winter eating. Cori made lasagna and added a bunch of shallots...wow!
Overall, after a slow start due to a cool and wet spring, the garden is where we head every night to see what's available to go with dinner.
Tonight we're having a salad from the garden to go with warmed up lasagna, The lasagna was made with shallots and basil from the garden.
And, so far, no deer have invaded!
What should we add to next year's garden?!?
