Gardens From San Francisco

I took a lot of pictures of gardens from San Francisco for ideas for Brandi and I...

CSA

Just to make everyone jeleous! Our take from this week at the CSA at Serenbe was as follows:

• 5 lbs tomatoes--including some peach tomatoes!
• 1 1/2 lbs. cherry tomatoes
• 3/4 lb. blueberries
• 2 bunches of basil
• 3 lbs. eggplant
• 4 bell pepers
• 4 hot pepers
• 4 hot/sweet pepers
• 2 garlic bulbs
• 3/4 lb. argula
• 1 1/2 lbs. okra

What to do with all of this food??!!! Any ideas?

Oh...AND I picked 4 romas, 8 okra, 2 eggplant, and 3 strawberries from my own garden today!

(Ok, ok, so it wasn't all my share, but mine and Brandi's while she is in Argentina!) ;~)

These are by no means the only pickings from my garden, but they are some of the more memorable!

Growing!

I've been away from the garden for about 1 week and it seems like everything has grown a foot! The brandywine is higher than the fence and the eggplant had two veggies to clip off! I cannot wait to taste them!

Eventually, I have had to stake my tomatoe 'tree' with a tree stake to keep the cage in the ground and prevent it from tumbling completely over!
