  • 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.

    What are you eating out of your garden this week?
