Fresh & Healthy: Our Garden – Cabbage, Okra, Green Beans, Cucumbers, Purple Beans,Tomatoes, Peppers and More!
We are enjoying the fresh vegetables from our garden! We didn’t have to travel this week so we had the opportunity to enjoy the veggies even more. Our garden is slowing down a little with all the heat. I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of all the vegetables because a couple neighbors came over to get some produce.
Here are some of the fresh veggies we were able to eat and share this week:
Green Cabbage and Purple Cabbage from our garden We made green and red coleslaw out of our two cabbages.
Red and green cabbage heads ready to be sliced for coleslaw! The cabbage made great coleslaw!
Fresh Garden Produce Fresh vegetables and fruit from the garden – Big Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, Roma Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Green Beans, Purple Beans, Okra, Banana Peppers, and Strawberries.
We have had a lot of great tomatoes the last couple of weeks. We had a friend made some delicious salsa from our tomatoes and peppers. It has been neat seeing and hearing what others have been able to make with our vegetables.

We are enjoying the fresh vegetables from our garden! This week we were traveling for part of the week. We picked some veggies to take with us on a recent road trip to Charleston and came home with an empty basket. It was nice having the opportunity to share goodies with the people we knew in Charleston.
Here are some of the fresh veggies we were able to eat and share this week:
Fresh Garden Produce Fresh garden produce this week – green peppers, red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, roma tomatoes, summer squash, zucchini, okra (our first one), cucumbers, banana peppers, purple beans, green beans, and lettuce.
Garden Produce A picked a few tomatoes and strawberries earlier in the week and forgot to take a picture. These were another quick pick on a busy day – okra, strawberry, purple beans, green beans, tomatoes and cucumbers.
We have had a lot of great tomatoes the last couple of weeks. If you are looking for a new recipe to try using fresh tomatoes check out the one that my friend Ashley from Reflecting on the Simple Things in Life posted called “Tomato Pie”!

We are loving the fresh vegetables from our garden! This week I only took one picture from the garden because we were traveling. The good news is we were able to take some of our goodies from the garden to share with family along the way. 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 Garden Produce! We were able to pick this all in one day fresh from the garden. Fresh Zucchini, Green Beans, Summer Squash, Cucumber, Cherry Tomatoes, Roma Tomatoes, Whole Size Tomatoes, Fresh Leafy Green Lettuce, Purple Beans, a handful of Strawberries that made it in the picture and a Banana Pepper (not pictured because it was ate by the kiddos). Some of these items we delivered to a good friend since we were traveling and we wanted to make sure they were eaten while they were still fresh.
We were able to share some of the veggies this week with family and friends! Thankful for a garden that we can share!

Fresh & Healthy: Our Garden – Leafy Lettuce, Zucchini, Summer Squash, Purple Beans, Strawberries, Tomatoes, Green Beans, Cabbage, and Cauliflower!!
We are loving the fresh vegetables from our garden! This week I did a little better at taking pictures of the items our family picked. Although I must say the strawberries didn’t get in most of the pictures, they were ate immediately after washing. We were able to give some of the garden produce to friends and family this week so it is nice that the garden is producing extra to share with others.
Here are some of the fresh veggies we were able to eat and share this week:
Produce from the garden! We hadn’t been out in several days because of unexpected emergencies with friends and a busy week so we got quite a bit in this batch. We had a whole bunch full of green beans and purple beans, 2 heads of cabbage, 2 heads of cauliflower, lots of cherry and roma tomatoes, leafy green lettuce, purple leaf lettuce, cucumbers and strawberries!
Giant Zucchini and Summer Squash from the garden! The girls were VERY excited to pick these, as they called them, GIANT Vegetables! We are hoping to get a couple more later in the week!

We are loving the fresh vegetables from our garden! This week I did better at taking pictures of the items our family picked. We were traveling for a few day. Hopefully my brother who was watching the house was able to get a few items out of the garden to use for their family.
Here are some of the fresh veggies we were able to eat and share this week:
Fresh from the Garden - Leafy Lettuce, Zucchini, Summer Squash, Cherry and Roma Tomatoes, Strawberries, Green Beans, and Purple Beans. We got two more big bags of leafy lettuce before we had to pull the stocks because they were flowering. The zucchini and summer squash are starting to picking. We’ve been getting a few strawberries and a couple handfuls of cherry tomatoes more regularly now. We have both green and purple beans producing now in the garden.
Big Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, Purple Beans, Summer Squash, Leafy Green Lettuce, Snow Peas, Strawberry and Green Beans from the Garden The snow peas have been amazing and delicious to eat fresh for snacks and in baking, however, they are pretty much done producing. The lettuce is slowing down too but we hope to get a few more salads in before it completely wraps up for the season. On a more positive note the tomatoes, beans, and squash are still going pretty strong despite all the storms.
We were able to share some of the veggies this week with family, friends and people at our church. During the summer months our church does a “Corner Harvest” where people can share fresh produce from their garden. It is neat to see what other families are growing and share our produce.

We are loving the fresh vegetables from our garden! I didn’t have a chance to take pictures last week with all the traveling, guests, and fun activities. This week I did better at taking pictures but the girls ate a few items before the camera came out, they have been enjoying helping more in the garden now that they are on summer break from school.
Here are some of the fresh veggies we were able to eat and share this week:
Fresh Cabbage, Tomatoes, Peppers, Strawberries, Summer Squash, Snow Peas, Green Beans, Purple Beans 
Fresh from the Garden Leafy Lettuce, Summer Squash, Cherry Tomatoes, Regular Tomatoes, Sweet Basil, Dill, Snow Peas, Beans, and Banana Pepper. 
Fresh Fruit and Veggies - Tomatoes, Zucchini, Pepper, Summer Squash, Purple Beans, our first Cucumbers, Lettuce, Strawberry, and Snow Peas A few strawberries, tomatoes, and some other veggies barely made it inside to be rinsed before they ate them so the pictures didn’t happen. After picking one day the girls informed me “we picked a rainbow of food from our garden today Mom”. We had a lot of stormy nights the past couple weeks with hail, heavy rain, and high winds. We even had a tree fall down in the yard and break our fence during one of the storms. The garden has “shifted” a little bit but thankfully continues to produce some goodies despite the damage. We haven’t gotten a lot of any one vegetable or fruit but we have a nice variety of goodies to eat every week. Plus we haven’t had to water for a couple weeks.
