What are You Eating from the Garden?

I didn't think to take any pictures of the pumpkin bread. I didn't even take any of the pumpkins. They were fairly small but at least I got to use my duck eggs for it

The first beefsteak, a Gary O Sena. And, of the 3 smaller tomato varieties, DW is beginning to appreciate the Large Red Cherry (or whatever it is) for her salsa .

We could have chosen an earlier beefsteak to include in the garden but Gary O Sena has been important to us for years. It was one that lost the characteristic green shoulders early in its ripening and I replaced my saved seed by a purchase from an appropriately named Restoration Seed Company. That experience encouraged more conscientious efforts with seed saving but it actually took me several seasons to realize the there must have been a cross with another large pink and we had several during those years.

We ordered a pizza for pick up.

It seemed crazy to ask for added cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers and onions. I asked DW if she would be willing to sauté some of those for the pizza. She said okay. I scattered them around, added some shredded cheese on top, and microwaved a couple of slices for us. Soooo Good.

I wanted to mention the Candy Sweet Onions especially. DW likes them. I have thought that we are pushing the northern boundary for them to develop to very large size but we have them every year usually, with others. We have grown several varieties that reach larger size but she always wants the Candies. For sitting on top a pizza, sautéed in olive oil, she was right. In fact, we did a great job improving the "standard fare."
