I have been really enjoying the garden this year. It just blows me away to think, "I need a yellow squash for this recipe," and to walk out into the back yard and get one (or 20). Sadly, the snap peas came out the other day, having given their all, and I am feeling a little sad, fearing that the way-too-short growing season here in "Iceburg" is probably on the downhill side. Here is my tribute to our Garden, which really has been a family project this year. Dustin planted, I weeded, and we all enjoyed the fruits (and veggies) of our labor. I've really tried to challenge myself to use as much of our enormous harvests of squash as I could, and you know, I've done a pretty good job...I think Dustin may be getting a little sick of it finally, but hey, you plant it, you eat it, right? We've also put up about 35 jars of pickles, so far, Dustin's little project...how lucky am I? He is so awesome. We've tried to freeze some sliced crookneck and snap peas, we'll see how that works out. Still looking forward to tomatoes, though, but we finally got some corn on the cob for tonight, yum!
Hudson is so funny. Some days, he loves peas right out of the garden, which thrilled me to no end, because it is, I'm pretty sure, the only vegetable he has ever knowingly, willingly consumed... Other days, nothing to do with them. He is a crazy kid. But pretty cute!
I need your garden goulash recipie. It looks yummy. Your garden looks awesome, don't you love it when you plant a garden, it grows and you get to eat it-fresh yummy veggies. I love gardens!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better than vegetables right out of the garden. Let me know haw you froze your squash and how it worked out because I have squash and zuccini coming out my ears
ReplyDeleteThere really is nothing better than garden vegetables. Well...almost nothing.
ReplyDeleteThe garden looks awesome. We need to send you our zucchini casserole recipe. It's pretty much the best casserole ever. Peace out!

ReplyDeleteYou guys are amazing is there anything you don't do? I wish I lived near you and I could take some of those yummy fresh veggies off your hands!

ReplyDeleteWow - you are a little Martha! You seriously amaze me - how do you do it? Anyway, I wanted to apologize to you about the blog I posted about our family pictures. I was referring to the pictures that we had taken at K-Mart (for $10!)and they were just disgraceful! I loved the ones that you took and just wanted to make sure that you knew that. I actually have several of them around our house and they are great. You are so talented at EVERYTHING!! I'm not going to lie... I'm very, very jealous!
