Enjoying Our New Garden

Love it!  New house, new garden.  The previous owner of our house was a very active garden and she had put in 3 large size vegetable planters years (and years and years) ago.  After some hard work I have a new-to-me veggie garden this year...and it's thriving. 

We have the usual suspects that we usually put into our vegetable garden, like - cucumbers (a couple of varieties) and zucchini:


I think so far we have over 40 cucumbers from our 3 plants and well over a dozen zucchinis from our 2 plants.

We have made many meals of pesto pastas out of these beautiful basil:

Next up - pesto chicken pizza :) - can't wait!  I'm sure the boys won't miss their usual marinara sauce for one meal.

And this is my favorite this year from the garden.  It's a type of kale and it is delicious.  Super easy to grow, doesn't need much food, heat tolerant and suppose to be super healthy for you...can't beat that huh?  I put it in my soups, stir fry and even made kale salads out of it.  


Other vegetation not pictured but also in the garden: green beans (pole), cilantro, jalapeno, tomatoes (still green) and green onion.  Here's to a great planting season!

Made By ME #84 Linky Party and Features

I hope everyone is having a good and productive week so far.  The weather has been anything but predictable here in Northern California.  We had some crazy hot weather on Saturday and ever since it's been COLD.  On Sunday I actually broke out the kid's jackets and brought my sofa quilt back out it was so cold.  Hopefully it'll warm up soon again for our annual (stone) fruit picking this coming weekend - picture to come :).

In the meanwhile enjoy these fabulous features from last week's party and scroll down to the end of this post to include your project this week.  Cheers!
