Homegrown !!

I enjoy having a green thumb. I am proud that after many trial and error attempts at growing something, I am finally getting my plants to thrive. I am not into roses or tulips, or any of the other multi colered weeds that other people slave over. I am talking about my vegetable garden. I have a surplus crop of cherry tomato's, squash, cucumbers, big boy tomato's, green peppers, canteloupe, and watermelon. This evening, my sons and I took our plastic pails out for a walk. First, we walked the half mile driveway from my house to the paved road and picked the blackberries that grow wild along the woodsline. We got about 2 quarts. Then beside the house, along the edge of my garden to pick some cherry tomato's, . Inside of the garden rows we harvested 6 yellow squash, 4 fat green cucumbers, 4 big red tomato's and 2 green ones to fry at breakfast, and a big heavy cucumber. We incorporate all of our fresh picked produce into our supper. Cubed squash with cornbread mix, baked with a little cheese on top. Sliced cucumber in a bowl with cider vinegar and salt & pepper sprinkled on top. Raw sliced tomato's on a plate with the little cherry ones around the side and a dollop of mayo. And for dessert, the wild blackberries with a little cream and sugar and sliced canteloupe. We had some type of meat as our main dish, but I don't think it ever made it to the table. I just had to share
