fresh summer food

potato blossom
The garden is going well. These are blossoms from potato plants. I cut up the potatoes that were growing legs in my pantry and put them in the ground and this is what happened. Can you even believe it? It amazes me what will come out of the ground, and these burst out of the ground. It really was astonishing how a full bush rose out of the ground, complete with leaves and flowers. They didn’t even start as little buds or sprouts.

Yesterday we went and pulled one zucchini and two yellow zucchinis off their plants and ate them for dinner. We grilled them with an onion and butter and BBQ3000. And well, it was so good. I love the summer fresh foods that I can harvest from my own garden. And aren’t nectarines pretty much like candy growing on a tree? Oh my word, I love summer food.
