From the Garden

Jen came upstairs as I was hunched over the computer to show me this. With the exception of the basket, everything in there came out of our garden, and there’s a lot more to come. We have a ton of corn coming in, the squirrels seem to have left the second wave of beans alone, and there are several eggplant growing larger. The green peppers are getting pretty big, too. Plus, we’ve already used a couple bushels of basil leaves.

I don’t care that it’s not quite 8am yet – that makes me want green beans.

NOW.

Oooh – and are those jalapenos in the corner?

Yes indeedy, they are-we are overrun by jalapenos. They seem to love our backyard, along with the basil (which is waist-high.)

I’m *green* with envy. Ba-dum-bum.

Thanks folks! I’m here all week! Enjoy the veal and don’t forget to tip your waiter.

I’ve tried starting basket vines a couple of times now but they never really take off. (I don’t even like tomatoes, but the one in the photo looks stunning.)
