garden 6/18/11

There are treasures in the garden! My favorite kind too - zucchini. :D

Ha. This photo makes it look like everything is blending in. However, the stakes and cages on the left are because the tomatoes are getting bigger. 

Cucumbers! They look a little different than last year. More prickly than I'd like, but we'll see.

Mini toms!

SQUASH! :D

Here's a zuch.

And here's some baby yellow sqaush.

Watermelon vines.

Cooked this for lunch.

garden 5/11/11

The garden is LUSH! It's also very hot, so the lettuce is a bit bitter. Not great for salads unfortunately. :( But, still nice in a sandwich.

looks like we needed to mow the grass... ;)

all the lettuce!

kate gets married

We had lots of fun getting ready at the house for Kate's wedding. What a fun and beautiful day. Love you Kate!

broccoli rabe

This was fun. We'd never made them before. We grew them in the garden, so we were pretty excited to finally have a taste.

We lightly sautéed them and ate them just like any other traditional leafy green. :)

Happy Father's Day!

Love and miss you, sweet Daddy!
