Today I went to pull weeds in the garden! Thankfully the weeds have slacked off a bit and aren't growing quite so fast and furiously! As I weeded around the squash and zucchini plants I came to the bean plants and was surprised to see we had some beans big enough to pick already! So I bent over squishing my baby belly and picked beans with sweat dripping down my face! I think gardening is a wonderful exercise! It's great to just be outside in the sunshine (even though its hot), and its great to sweat from working! I must say I do love our little garden!
Our chickens are still laying delicious, fat brown eggs that make it difficult to close the egg carton! And all my flowers are still growing and making this place look so lovely!
Here is our first little zucchini! I love frying fresh cut zucchini in butter with a little bit of salt and pepper! Marlin and I have fried zucchini (and squash) along with our meal at least 2 or 3 times a week! It's easy to make and we both love the way it taste!
I'm also excited about trying out the zucchini bread recipe that my mom used to make!!!

I will be glad and rejoice in it!
Mmmm, we love squash and zucchini too! It's really good sprinkled with parmesan cheese & a tiny bit of garlic salt, then broiled in the oven for a few minutes. I enjoyed your garden tour -- isn't having your first little garden so much fun?!

P.S. In case you're wondering who I am, my husband & I are canoe trip friends of Marlin. :) Cute blog!

DeleteThank you and I'll definitely be trying Parmesan and garlic salt! That sounds delicious! Yes, this garden has been so much fun! I've never been motivated to keep up a garden before but Marlin and I doing it together makes it extremely enjoyable!
