FIRST HARVEST SMALL AS IT MAY BE

Well, here is our first harvest from this year's garden...don't blink or you'll miss it, LOL!


An almost perfect tomato, a small yellow squash and some basil leaves.  I had to harvest it instead of leaving it for another week so I gave it to 2nd Man and said "here, pretend this is the Food Network show CHOPPED and these are your ingredients", ha.


So he chopped the veggies, mixed everything up with a quick dressing of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, pepper, some minced garlic and a sprinkling of flake sea salt and brought me this plate.  Wow.

Not only did it taste great but it looked amazing on the plate!
(of course it is said that we eat with our eyes first)

I adjusted the watering schedule in the garden so the hope is the vegetables will start to take off.  Our weather has been so erratic this season but now we seem to be getting into our usual Summer mode of dry and hot weather so we're hoping that a regular schedule will work.

    1. We're hoping my new watering plan will work. So hard to do this remotely but hey, we've sort of figured out a plan that works. You'll have flowers soon!!! And the veggies right after!

  5. That looks amazing! So colorful and appetizing. 2nd Man took your ingredients and made a winning dish! At first I thought the black dots were poppy seeds (which would be very tasty), then I read they were pepper.

    1. It was a colorful meal for sure. Red gold and green. Hmm...that sounds like a song...HA! Poppy seeds would be good (we like pepper, ha) I'll have to suggest that (hmm, now that I think about it, we might not have poppy seeds might need to add that to the list!)
