Our garden has been such a joy this year even though we had some duds. The tomatoes were not nearly as great as they’ve been in years past, but they are finally starting to turn red. The squash and zucchini just never happened, but the rest has made up for it! We’ve had so many flowers (zinnias) that we’ve been passing them out to neighbors, co-workers weekly. We’ve had a ton of green beans (see photo) and even some mini eggplant. M just loves tending to the flowers and picking and preparing the beans.

On a side note, I had this amazing dinner at bookclub last night. So yummy! I’ll be making this one soon.
