The Veggie Garden

I was disappointed yesterday to see my lettuce plants had bolted. Some were about 3 feet tall suddenly. It was clear that our season for fresh lettuce is over.

Our spinach is almost over. I’m going to get out again in a few minutes and harvest a bunch of it.

The happy thing for the day is that our tomatoes seem to be happy, and are producing lots of green tomatoes.

One of our favorite things in the world is ripe, fresh tomatoes sliced to eat with our lunches and dinners, not to mention cut up for salads. The only tomatoes I buy at the store anymore is cherry tomatoes, just for some color in our salads.

I love the fact that we can enjoy fresh spinach cut up in our salads.

We can also saute it as a side dish, or freeze it for cooking later.

This is just a bonus picture of my husband’s favorite flower, clematis. It’s blooming right behind the lettuce/spinach veggie planter, so I snapped a quick pic to share.
