One of my favorite days of the year. The first veg from the garden are about to become a meal.

I'll be adding some shrimp, garlic, butter, fresh basil, pasta and parmesan cheese.

I have picked over thirty zucchini and tons of cucumbers. No red tomatoes yet. Enjoy your bounty!

I feel bad for people who never get the opportunity to grow their own food and then devour it with greatest gratitude!

Bon appetit, dear friend! 🍽️

I make and freeze stewed tomatoes and marinara sauce, and use them in comfort foods, all Winter long.
