The Fruit of Our Looms



This is almost ALL that we got out of our garden last year.

This is our garden around July 15th this year.

We grew some bell peppers...

...some jalapeƱos...

...some tomatoes...

...some onions and more.

Oliver's favorite are the strawberries.

See.

This was the first handful of things we picked this year. We grilled the squash and onions and ate them with Cory and Mary at their house. They were super good. I had the bell pepper on my turkey sandwich the other day.

I took all of these...

...and turned them into salsa with the help of a lime and some garlic. The onions are a bit strong, but it wasn't the worst salsa ever.

We are looking forward to carving the pumpkins we have growing right now into jack-o-lanterns for Halloween. Nicole has also made a few jars of fresh pesto sauce with the basil we have grown. We have more squash than we know what to do with. Any suggestions? They get so big, they don't taste good.

We were envying your garden as we walked by this afternoon. Wondering if it would be wrong if I popped a few cherry tomatoes in my mouth. For the record-I didn't.
