My how your garden grows. . . OK so no silver bells or cockle shells in our garden, but my is it growing! We'll have more zucchini than I'll know what to do with so thankfully mom sent out a bunch of recipes so I can diversify my baked and canned goods and avoid sending Eric to zucchini ingesters anonymous.
The cauliflower is huge, but won't sprout a head until it cools off consistently and temps are between 60-70 degrees during the day. Based on that nugget of knowledge we'll feature our garden cauliflower in a Thanksgiving dish I'm sure. Stay tuned.
The cabbage is also doing pretty well, it too needs cooler weather for the heads to forms so yay! for sauerkraut as Christmas presents!
Our jalapeno and banana peppers never disappoint. Those grow just about anywhere and some have already made their way into dishes and on top of grill pizzas.
And lastly we have our tomatoes. Our Roma tomatoes that should be thriving in their full sun. Not a single darn tomato has popped yet. We're hoping they're going to surprise us and all come at once so we'll be able to make a nice big batch of pasta sauce. Although, seeing as Murphy lives with us I doubt that will be our luck instead we'll end up with 8 big plants and no tomatoes.
