Summer Veggies

How does my garden grow?  Like a forest... a temperate deciduous forest!  (Green beans for the person who can tell me what deciduous means!)

Green beans are coming in like crazy and I have a lot of squash on the vine.  Mom, I hope you are ready for squash... I am bringing them home!

My green beans are for the Jolly Green Giant!  Banana sized beans!  I need a good recipe for them!

If you can't read that tape measure, that is an 8 INCH green bean!

A peek into the squash blossoms... at last count, I have 12 tiny squashes!

Looks like I need some new recipes for fresh vegetables... and hopefully some fresh tomatoes soon!

Nature Made... Lesley Made

Yesterday, I went out to check my garden and look what I found...

That is 3 HUGE stalks of romaine lettuce.  About 50ish leaves.  And 4 meager green beans.  Way to go backyard garden... but a little pacing would be nice. 

This week's dinner menu:

Sunday - Caesar Salad

Monday - Taco Salad

Tuesday - Chef Salad

Wednesday - Salad Leftovers

Thursday - Car Picnic

Friday, Saturday - Wedding!

And while I was in the backyard, I got a little painting done.  Okay, a lot of painting.

Count 'em... six things checked off the list.  Lots and lots of projects coming to a close and a handful more getting ready to get started!

My little artists in training were working hard on not inhaling paint fumes, while sunning!

Get excited - tomorrow I have a big reveal of a project long in the making!  It started as a sad, old bulletin board... and I can't wait to show it to you!

Before...

Come back tomorrow for after!
