As my arm has been hurting for these last few weeks, I suppose it’s been apparent that I haven’t been outside to harvest much of my beautiful vegetable garden.
In turn, each of my closest neighbors has been coming over to the fence when they see me to give me oodles of their veggie garden goodies.
My newest neighbors brought me a whole slew of fresh cucumbers, as they have much too many to eat themselves. They are so crisp, refreshing and wonderful – especially just with a little salt and pepper on them, or with a little splash of balsamic vinegar!
Steve and his family, behind me, has loaded me up with fresh Swiss chard. Apparently, his kids turned out not to like it and he’s the only one that does. So, he shared with me and it is absolutely fantastic.
My youngest daughter planted some last year and it grew wonderfully. Not sure why we didn’t think of it this year.
He also brought me a bunch of tiny beets – so delicious – and all of their beet leaves, because he knows I enjoy to stuff them or to eat them like spinach! Oh yes, and some tomatoes too!
Wow – I am so blessed to have some really great neighbors and to live in a place where we share – in a place where we can grow such beautiful produce as well – fresh and organic!
Have a great day!
