Garden Produce Meals

The garden is producing regularly now and I’m using vegetables and herbs a lot more so in my everyday meals. I want to show the produce and meals of why this is a special time of the year for me when the garden kicks in!

My squash is just going like crazy so I had to get an additional recipe for that like zucchini bread. The tomatoes I just love so want to incorporate them as much as possible.

The past couple of years I have discovered I really like tomatillos. Swiss chard is my go to green leafy vegetable that grows year round.

Fell in love with tarragon a few years back, a few leaves go a long way and leave a slightly sweet pleasant aroma in the house similar to their taste.

Proud of how I handled a spare rib as well cutting off the flap for rib tips making it a St Louis cut. Made some bbq sauce and that complimented my garden veggies.

Using your garden for your meals is awesome and delicious. Just wanted to share with anyone who comes across this post.

Tidied Up the Gardens and Front Yard Pool

Pulled weeds in vegetable and flower gardens, trimmed bushes can plus did some extra work on the pool.

Got a lot done in the yard before the weeds could take hold with the veggies starting to hit growth spurts. The flowers in the front are not as nice looking as they were last year this time but getting there. The bushes and tree near the driveway needed trimming.

All the new soil and work in the backyard led to more dirt in the pool. The pool pump issues meant I got a late start on the pool but it’s looking good with the hot weather coming up!

Here’s some pictures.

Mellowing it out LAte Night\Early Morning

Depending on how you look at it I’m taking down the tempo but not the passion to some slow jams type songs for a few hours here in the late night or very early morning on the Pacific West Coast of North America,Northern California to be exact.

Kicking mellow with a nice mixed genre or all ears as always!
