Garden Catch Up

When I was visiting Mom last week she asked about Joel’s garden. I hadn’t put anything on the blog recently and she asked about an update – here it is, in pictures!

Purple Napa Cabbage – this is a new one this year. Relatively good success with the exception of the grasshoppers chomping on a lot of the outside leaves. Makes for a very colorful salad and cole slaw addition.
Typical daily “haul” – many batches of pickles in progress as well as some tubs of frozen tomatoes for spaghetti sauce base this fall.
It seems like every year there is one vegetable that goes into overdrive. This year it was the potatoes! Joel planted Yukon Gold, Red and Purple potatoes and got a total of almost 60#. A lot have been shared with neighbors and friends while he reserved about 20# for us to use.
Finished Product – One of our typical meals – White Zucchini (donated to us) zoodles with burst Sun Sugar tomatoes and chicken.
Delicata Squash, Kale and Sun Sugar tomato Pasta.
