• Fresh & Healthy: Our Garden – Green Beans, Summer Squash, Lettuce, Cucumbers, Purple Beans,Tomatoes, Zucchini, Basil and More!

    We are loving the fresh vegetables from our garden!  This week I only have one picture from the garden because we were traveling for part of the week.  The good news is we were able to take some of our goodies from the garden to share with family along the way and we came back to some more fresh ones ready to be picked.  Also, while we are gone my brother and his family get to pick any of the produce that is ready for themselves or to give away so I didn’t get pictures of the items they picked while we were out of town.

    Here are some of the fresh veggies we were able to eat and share this week:

    Fresh produce from the garden.

    Fresh Summer Squash, Green Beans, Cucumbers, Cherry Tomatoes, Roma Tomatoes, Whole Size Tomatoes, Fresh Leafy Green Lettuce, Purple Beans, Banana Peppers, Strawberries, and Sweet Basil.
