This year, I got my summer garden started a little late. As a result, our first harvest didn't come until about two weeks ago -- just in time, of course, for us to go on vacation. No matter! Our house/dog-sitter/friend Addie says the tomatoes and potatoes were yummy. The zucchini in the picture was so massive we had to break it up over three dinners: chicken burritos, lamb kebobs, and zucchini fries. At least that was a fun in experiment in How to Use Zucchini. All in all, for the summer we have: watermelon, cantaloup, jalapenos, potatoes, summer squash, zucchini and tomatoes.
With my week alone back in Sacramento (see the post below about Dave and Carter still being in Newport Beach until tomorrow morning), it gave me a chance to start our fall/winter vegetable garden from seed. This time around, we're hoping for: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, carrots, collard greens, and beets. I've also planted three different types of flowers for the fall, including Aster. We'll see how that goes!

Wonderful! We just got our zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, and peppers situated on our new patio -- I'm hoping for at least one harvest this summer, even though it's late. Next spring we'll get started much earlier.
It was SO GOOD to see you this past week! Big hugs all around.
