Harvest Monday

The week of tiny tomatoes and green beans. 
I wish I lived in the south, just for a perfectly large gardening harvest. 
Oh well.
 Each harvest was so so small, but we are now daily getting a couple ripe cherry tomatoes and beans, I can't wait until more are ready!
Sweetheart grape, Oregon cherry, Blue lake bush beans and a few green tomatoes that fell off by accident.

Finally, 2 larger Early Girl tomatoes are ready! I pulled them off while they were still blushing so they could ripen in my windowsill. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm excited. A few more will be ready this week! Also, another zucchini (sigh...). I've got to blanch, freeze, and store all of them today!
Every summer we always get into making homemade pizza. This BBQ chicken garden pizza was super! We piled on BBQ chicken, fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh zucchini, fresh onions, and a ton of mozzarella and Parmesan! I love when I can make dinner with fresh food from our garden! We've made another since this one. I also plan to bring some pizza dough camping so we can make an easy pizza while at the San Juan's.
