The garden’s cranking it up the last few days, here’s a photo of last nights haul. I’m starting to get tons of peppers, a few red tomatoes, cucumbers, and yellow squash daily.
I’ve been plucking onions almost daily for cooking, and my potatoes are ready to dig. I probably need to get them dug this week.
There’s also a couple eggplant almost ready (another day or two). They’re yummy on the grill.
The tomatoes that are getting ripe are the smaller ones, I have red, yellow, and a dark purple variety here. They’re smaller than the peppers, but they’ll be wonderful on my salad with the cucumbers.
I froze a big bag of peppers yesterday, and grilled a couple for supper last night. I just throw the whole pepper on the grill and let them toast on both sides. They were great served with the barbecue chicken we had for supper last night.
There are also a couple hot peppers ready to pick, I’m just putting them off until more of the tomatoes get ready so I can make some salsa.
I’m planning to bread and fry the yellow squash for supper tonight or tomorrow night, that’s one of my husband’s favorites. Yum!
What’s ready in your garden this week?
