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

    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”!
