Veggies from MY GARDEN!
Yes, I’m a gardener now. The woman who always HATED the outdoors and bugs and gardens and the sun. I now have a tan, tolerate the bugs, and have a full-fledged flourishing garden I can call my own. And… I love it. LOVE IT! I love to go out in the garden and just walk through it, looking at how the plants are growing, little peppers turn into huge peppers. Teeny tiny tomatoes become huge red tomatoes (if I can get to them before the birds or whatever it is that likes to take bites out of my tomatoes!).
For all those people who say this has been a terrible growing season, I have to disagree. Here’s two separate pickings from last week alone!


I’ve been busy chopping and blanching and freezing and cooking and eating all the wonderful bounty I’ve gotten from my first garden. I think I’m hooked.
