Hi everyone,
I know I haven't posted here in a while, but I was at the garden watering this morning and snapped a few photos that I thought would be fun to share.
On our community side, the corn is getting high and the potatoes are looking good. I'm not sure we'll get any berries this year, but the strawberry flowers are pretty! There's also a row of lettuce and swiss chard coming up. Right now, it looks like the lady bugs are enjoying the chard, but in a few weeks it should be ready to harvest for anyone interested in trying it. Also, the sunflowers along the fence are about four feet high and almost ready to bloom!
Everybody's individual plots are looking great too! Erin and Greg have the cutest little watermelon as well as a delicious smelling basil plant growing strong in their plot.

While I would normally make a joke about the baseball sized zucchini's growing in the Sparks' plot, I noticed that they also have the biggest green pepper growing in their plot.
Kevin and Sarah have some amazing looking tomatoes and I was especially excited to see their first tomatillo growing today!
The Edgars and the Browns are looking good too. I'm amazed at how green everything is despite this recent heat wave!
Although everything is getting to be huge, the Mauro's corn is winning the race. It's taller than I am now!
And finally, Katie and I picked our first spaghetti squash today. We've had so much zucchini lately, it's nice to have something new!
Okay everyone, now that we're harvesting some different things now, let's share some recipes! What are you cooking with your produce this weekend???
I'm planning on trying this vegetarian lasagna that uses strips of zucchini in place of noodles!
