Well, these are our veggies but not from our garden. 2nd Family, that lives at the front of the property, has a pretty nice garden going and needless to say, they have an overabundance of fresh produce. Because of that, they are more than happy to share it all with us (along with lots of fresh eggs) and so every time we're out there, we are told to help ourselves if they aren't there or they will bring us a big bag full of goodies.
This weekend they gave us a huge bag full of juicy ripe tomatoes, a few cherry tomatoes, some cucumbers, a zucchini or two in the bottom, some green bell peppers, banana peppers and a few jalapenos. At our raised beds in town, we have a few tomatoes close to ripening and are getting several asian eggplants per week. We're not canning, but we are eating well.
We've had a few good meals using them already. 2nd Man just goes in, starts dicing up veggies, making rice, or pasta, or whatever, throws some more ingredients in with it and out comes something delicious. For example, one night he diced up tomatoes, peppers (banana, jalapeno, and bell), along with an onion we already had, cooked some white rice, mixed it all together with some shredded cheese, and baked it in the oven like a casserole. Delicious!
Yummy
ReplyDeleteThey were! Ha, now that they are gone, haha.
DeleteThose veggies look gorgeous! In the next few weeks I will be able to begin to harvest what I have and I cannot wait. Nothing like something on your plate that has come from a few metres away in your garden (or neighbours garden). Oh this is a great time of year for growing and eating!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to see what you are able to harvest, that should be fun! Yes, nothing like something fresh like that and so very rewarding!
DeleteYUM!!
ReplyDeleteYum in past tense and now gone. :-( Ha. More coming soon!!
DeleteGorgeous looking peppers and tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteThey do grow some great veggies, their ground in their garden patch has been worked for a few years now and they add compost and all sorts of good stuff and they've got quite the nice patch going. We're hoping for more!!

DeleteI stumbled upon your blog and love it. I love blogs with meat (lots of information) and I loved reading your About page. Your place sounds like a piece of heaven. I am no stranger to blogs but recently started a blog about our Journey to growing produce in a subdivision in Tennessee. I love a landscape that gives back.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading more!
