First Harvest Fresh From the Garden
The garden is coming along despite our rainy summer. Today I made a frittata for dinner with our hens' eggs and cilantro from the herb garden. We had mashed potatoes with the year's first potatoes, and a salad with our butter lettuce and the first tomatoes of the season. The tomatoes are the heirloom variety Stupice, and there is a a lot of fruit on the plants and many are ripening already . I will have to remember that this variety is a good producer and early ripener for future plantings.
Tomorrow night will be some sort of zucchini dish. They are ripening fast and furiously. Soon I will be up to my ears in zucchini and yellow summer squash. If anyone has any recipes for squash, send them my way. My plan is to freeze any extra for future use.
