Garden Veggies are great


We inherited the neatest garden bed, so of course we had to use it!
These carrots came up on their own. They are a little pudgy, but were really sweet. Lately we have pulled out green onions, that Stella was so kind to plant in our 1st weeks here. I planted several other things. We have a cherry tomato plant that is going wild. Which has worked out nice since the tomato scare. We have picked 1 cucumber, I got 2 1/2 okra, which I picked , sauted with some of our onions and tomato. It was yummy. I know none of you like okra, but I do and fresh was really good.
I just picked a quart container of Basil, which I hope to make pesto out of. A green chili plant popped up and it has 2 chili's. The squashes are lagging, they are quite small. The Rosemary and oregano that Marc and Pam gave me for Mother's Day are doing pretty well even in this hot , hot weather.
Oh and by the way when the grapes are ripe everyone gets some! we have tons and ton of them.
By the way in Az when do grapes ripen????? They are very green right now and still small.


Things coming up for us.....the Beach !! The most looked forward to week in the year.
