Garden Update
I am so enjoying my adventures in gardening this summer. Every day it’s a treat to go out and pick what’s ready to eat. And it’s all tasted really good! We had zucchini with dinner the other night, I’ve used green onions several times, and last night we used our first bell pepper in a black bean and corn salad. Right now I have 5 zucchini in my fridge waiting to be used. I’m thinking of Zucchini Muffins, but I am open for your suggestions!
Harvested 6/25/09
This was our last head of lettuce for the season.
We used it for BLTs with Roasted Garlic Mayo.

Isn’t that bell pepper funny looking?
We used it last night chopped up in a black bean and corn salad.

That lettuce is incredible! What about a goat cheese and zucchini risotto? I made one last night and it was fab!

I am jealous of all of your fresh garden produce! Enjoy!
