Garden Update

Actual beans

And all this time, the garden has been doing its thing.

Gardening might be my favorite kind of magic because you do all the work up front. Then, one day, you go outside to enjoy the nice weather and surprise! You have veggies.

It’s been raining a lot where we are, and the weather turned cooler than normal, so even though it’s already September, we have a bajillion green tomatoes and only occasional red ones.

So many green cherry toms

We need a little heat wave please! Or at least a string of sunny days.

Meanwhile, we have beans! Remember those?

I was so excited when these guys sprouted!

And here they are!

Get in my belly, magic beans

The zucchini, yellow squash and cucumbers are also doing well. Hoping for a harvest in the next few weeks.

Aggressive tomatoes

The cherry tomatoes are done messing around. They’re coming for us.

Oh the humanity

That’s just this morning’s haul. There are half a dozen more that will be ripe by the end of the day.

I also picked two raspberries, but my hands were full of tomatoes and too bad they went in my mouth.

Thanks pollinators!

Genius

In a stroke of genius, John suggested using the roasted garlic and herb no-knead bread I made yesterday as the base for some yummy bruschetta. Here is the result:

My unreal lunch
Yes. That’s really my lunch.

So easy! He just mixed fresh diced tomato (from our friends at Scenic View Orchards) with a little parmesan cheese and some chopped basil from our herb garden.

We make a pretty good team, n’est-ce pas?
