summer harvest

So our favorite new gardening activity is...harvesting!  Finding all of those jewel-like treasures hiding among the leaves in our little green jungle is so much fun.  It's also a delight to watch the pumpkins and winter squash grow bigger with each passing week.  We are up to 87 pounds of produce donated to Channels and counting.

This week it's all about the veggies, so here are some pictures from the garden:  

cucumber

chili pepper

asparagus beans

okra

watermelon

moon pumpkin

onions

sunflowers

some veggies from this week's summer harvest

And here's a recipe: (a quick and delicious way to enjoy those veggies right out of the garden):

Fresh garden veggie sauté

Slice and saute your favorite veggies in 2 tbs olive oil or broth.

(We used onion, yellow squash, okra, asparagus beans and tomatoes).

Spritz with fresh lemon juice, sea salt or your favorite herbs and serve with brown rice or quinoa.

Enjoy!
