We did it!
Yes my friends, our vegetable garden has actually produced vegetables. (I am not going to delve into the pesky rabbit that completely stripped our green bean plants of the green beans...that will be the next post)
But look at the beautiful snap peas that are growing - and pattypan squash.
The snap peas are delicious right off the vine and I am going to have J do a bit of harvesting so we can munch on them with dinner. I am tempted to take the very delicate squash blossoms (only a few, since I want to see the pattypans) and stuff them with some goat cheese, dip them in a bit of egg and flour (very light) and fry them up!
The carrots aren't ready to be harvested yet, but seem to be doing well, as are our newly planted eggplant and tomatoes...
Very exciting! Victory garden here we come!

I love squash blossoms. I haven't had those since we lived in California.
Is the J for J or is the J for j? Who's picking the veggies aside from the rabbit?
When you hold up your thumb, do you see green? Have you taken the booth at the farmers market yet?
No green yet - although if my 2x2 plot of land really does yield a lot, I am thinking of selling out front. A farmstand would fit nicely on the front porch.
The J is for j. Jay is Jay. (I know this is confusing for other people...) Little j is picking the veggies... of course - and a.
