This year was the first time we were able to plant a garden in several years. We were excited to be able to eat what we grew. We planted tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, watermelon, basil, and several different kinds of peppers.
We got a couple of watermelon, cucumbers, and peppers. But our tomato and zucchini plants really took off.
We got more cherry tomatoes than we could count! We also had quite a few of the bigger tomatoes. There is nothing quite like eating tomatoes fresh from the garden. My dad ended up making salsa with the tomatoes and some of the peppers. It was delicious!
Even though there were a lot of tomatoes, we got even more zucchini. It seemed like everyday we went out to check the garden, we had several new zucchini ready to pick. And some of them we didn't see right away. Although, I am not sure how we missed this one.
We had more zucchini than we knew what to do with. We ended up grilling some. We also shredded some. We froze some of the shredded zucchini, and we also made some amazing zucchini bread from my great-grandmother's recipe.
Our little garden isn't producing much anymore. But being able to eat fresh food straight from the garden has been wonderful.
