THE GARDEN KEPT ON GOING

Even though we're in the dog days of Summer, we had enough water to get what might be one last harvest and as harvests go, this one is not too bad.

Four eggplants, six small cucumbers, six tomatoes and one more jalapeño.  Of course the garden vegetable beds are getting overrun by the weeds but as you saw on the other posts, we're just letting whatever happens, happen and I'll slowly clean out each bed, starting with the non vegetable ones.

When I brought them back, 2nd Man said "ratatouille" it is.  He made these two small casseroles using slices of tomatoes and eggplants.  He even popped in the sliced jalapeño then it was just a few seasonings, a little olive oil and pouring over some homemade marinara type sauce and roasted it all in the oven.

We ate vegetarian that night and it was good.  Very good.  We also had some crusty homemade bread for dipping in the tomato sauce.

It was nice to have a dish made up entirely of produce from the garden.  As we always say, it's proof of concept at this point so we know what works and then eventually we can just plant LOTS of these vegetable and get LOTS of produce for wonderful meals.
