Since I planted my garden in June, we have been enjoying romaine and butter lettuces and a variety of herbs. Today was the first day that I picked actual vegetables. So far I have 4 zucchini, 2 yellow squash, and 5 green beans. I planted tomatoes pretty late in the season, so those are not quite ready yet. My jalapenos are coming along slowly, I think the large zucchini plants are shading them too much. It is exciting to be able to eat something from my own yard that I actually grew! I am already looking forward to planting next year and figuring out what works best.

These zucchinis and yellow squashes and flat parsley look so much fresher, more appealing than those in the supermarkets that you must expand your garden next summer. For a novice it is an amazingly successful experiment calling for more. Begin planning now, and prepare more beds for next year. You have a good peasant blood flowing in your veins!
All the love of Meme Georgette smiling at you and my love. Nana
