We have about 5 tomato plants, three robust basil plants, one acorn squash plant, one cucumber plant, and one zucchini plant and they are all producing for us this year. I love it when I can go out and gather a small handful of tomatoes and fresh basil and then turn it into a simple and delicious lunch.
From this:
to this:
Fresh roma tomatoes, snipped basil still warm, a little mozzarella cubed, sea salt and pepper, oil drizzled plus a scoop of homemade pesto there in the corner to add even more flavor.
I found this zucchini in the garden the other day and plan to shred it and make bread with it. Anyone have a great zucchini bread recipe to share? I have one I plan to use but I always like to find new ones.
Groovy Girl was so amazed by the mammoth size of the zucchini she had to have a comparison photo. Won't that be delicious in some bread!

What a beautiful garden. I think we may try the tumbler type of composter -- the box type we have works pretty slowly.
Here's a yummy chocolate zucchini bread I make every once in a while. In fact, maybe I'll bake today: http://www.bethfishreads.com/2013/02/the-kitchen-journal-double-chocolate.html
basil, fresh tomatoes...delicious!
I've been trying to eat more zucchini. It was always a vegetable I hated, but I've found that if I just slice it really thin, salt it to drain, and let it sit in some lemon juice I really like it.
My husband and I are buying a house, and I can't wait to start experimenting with a garden.
I had plans to make zucchini bread today but I don't have any baking soda!
My kids love zucchini bread but this year for some reasons my plants didn't produce. They grew big and flowered but then just turned yellow and died and the flowers fell off. My tomato plants are loaded but it has not been sunny here and they are not ripening. Oh well, there is always the farm market.
