Favorite thing to eat from your garden

[MIGrandma]

We no longer have a vegetable garden, but we did while the kids were g up. My favorites were tomatoes and cucumbers. Peppers and sweet corn too. Now that it’s just DH and myself we buy those things at the farmer’s market.

This year it's my shishito peppers. They're very mild and are really good in tempura.

I roast them in olive oil and salt, just like Italian long hots.

Onions and bell peppers. I add them to so many dishes. Also love our green beans.

Are onions difficult? That's one I've never tried, but we definitely go through onions.

I have never had luck at all with beans. I don't know what my issue is, but I would love if we were able to grow those. I didn't even try this year, first time in awhile that I've skipped planting those. I have some success with shelling peas that grow in the spring, but that's as close as I get to beans.

I harvested the last of my Brussels sprouts in mid June. Nothing going on now. In another week or so I’ll start bok choy from seed and they should be ready by late October.

I had a zucchini jungle last year and they're just starting to come in.

But we planted raspberries last year and they went wild! (Birds ate the ...grrrr). I was able to pick an overflowing handful every day; sometimes twice a day this year and they were wonderful!

I also have some Living with the Land inspired pots of salad greens and basil on the porch that are perfect for a little salad every day!

Were your raspberry plants little last year? I planted two starts from my sister's yard about a month ago. I thought it would be YEARS till we see fruit, but maybe in a year or two? They're only about a foot high right now.

Last year they were sticks about a foot high, and this year we have an 8x8 patch 4 feet tall!!! It was crazy!

Cucumbers

Lost some tomato plants already. But mainly planted cherry and grape and they have all been producing a ton. Can't really do normal tomatoes cause the squirrels bite or take so many.

I feel bad for them cause in NYC they do not really put in big nut trees anymore so the majority of their food base has disappeared. Now they go after my garden especially large tomatoes.

Cherry tomatoes, right off the vine mmmmmm

My dog treats the bushes as her own private snack bar

We don’t have a garden, but my stepdaughter’s BF does, and bell peppers are good!

Basil

I have some cherry/grape/pear tomatoes too. The yellow pear are especially fabulous, but none have produced much yet.

Napa Cabbage My new favorite in Spring and now again for fall. Great substitute for lettuce which is also a favorite.
