I intersperse flowers with my vegetables in order to bring my bees to pollinate. The bees are loving my sunflowers right now – see her stuffed pollen sacs?
Other friendly bugs are in my garden.
I started growing Trombetta di Albenga this year.
Today I harvested my first Trombetta. It was absolutely delicious! This is how I cooked it: I added Olive Oil to the pan and added 2 cloves of minced garlic. Fried those up a bit.
I next added one Trombetta, thinly sliced, and another clove of minced garlic.
I cooked it for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In the last minute, I added some fresh French Tarragon leaves and a healthy handful of a fresh parmesan/romano mix.
My Kamo Kamo, a traditional pumpkin-style squash of the Maori of New Zealand has started its climb. It is used as both a summer and a winter squash!
The cucumbers are coming in.
Some eggplant is forming.
There are a lot of green tomatoes!
And the Sungold cherry tomatoes are starting to ripen!
