Inspiration Friday ~~~~~~~ Going Green


My harvest from the garden last evening...........the tomatoes are really coming in fast and furious now; the European cucumbers (two kinds - Holland and Pepinex) are fabulous; stringless, tender haricots verts still hanging in there and giving us so many wonderful meals - a little Italian parsley just snipped too. What more could one want for a fresh, garden grown, just picked, green supper.




Leaving early this morning for a weekend road trip to Virginia and W. Virginia ~ taking Jasmin along for a history lesson ~ Charlottesville, Monticello, Harper's Ferry, and will visit family in Grottoes, VA in the Shenandoah Valley. Hoping to find some cottagey shops along the way, perhaps pick up something quaint or interesting.....................far too long since I've had time to go treasure hunting.

Wonderful weekend to each of you - hope to catch up with everyone next week!

  8. Mary, fresh veggies are the best. We are enjoying our fresh tomatoes this year.

    Haven't talked to you in awhile. I think you've been traveling a lot. Hope your trip went well!

  10. Oh, yum! I love these fresh veg photos--and the fresh veg.

    For some reason, my runner beans have flowered this year, but the beans are teeny and only sporadic. I do have trouble growing them in this desert climate, but at least they've always been big enough to eat. Kind of tough, but edible.

    Runner beans are my favorite vegetable.Any suggestions, anyone, as to what went wrong this year?
