This is gearing up to be a bountiful Summer in the garden! This week we have massive amounts of yellow wax beans, and a delightful up-and-coming crop of green beans. Pole beans are just starting to blossom.
We ate some of the beans with our last cup of peas with chopped baby carrots - a real life version of the frozen, tasteless "mixed vegetables". The carrots have such intense carrot flavor - sooo delicious. We ate our first zucchini pan fried with parmesean cheese.
We have plenty of green salad to which I have added diced zucchini , store bought tomatoes (boo), grilled chicken and cheese cubes. Light and yummy. Tonight I will also add what little broccoli we have (most of it flowered before it was even worth picking). I might even pick a carrot or two for shredding.
A friend told me that homegrown broccoli grown has little green worms in it and that you need to boil it in salt water before use. The salt water should cause the worms to float to the top. I tried this the other night but found no worms...I hope I didn't eat them!
We also discovered this week that the yellow hot peppers are the perfect kick to add to scrambled eggs. I can't wait for all that is to come!
